Innovative Process Equipment for Carbon Capture
As industries worldwide work to reduce carbon emissions, carbon capture technologies are playing a vital role in the transition to a more sustainable future. Hosokawa Micron supports this transition by supplying advanced process equipment for a wide range of carbon capture applications, including Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift (SEWGS) for syngas, Direct Air Capture (DAC), Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU).
With more than a century of experience in manufacturing milling, drying, classifying, and compaction systems, we deliver high-performance equipment for processing sorbents, minerals, and polymers—essential materials used in, or produced by, carbon capture systems. Our tailored solutions are designed to help manufacturers improve process efficiency, reduce emissions and meet their sustainability targets.
Enabling Carbon Capture Processes
The success of carbon capture processes relies on materials that can adsorb or absorb and store CO₂ as effectively and cost-efficiently as possible. At Hosokawa Micron, we offer high-performance equipment to support these processes, including:
- Direct Air Capture (DAC): Processing sorbent materials to maximize CO₂ absorption capacity and efficiency.
- Industrial Carbon Mineralization: Crushing and milling olivine, silicates and other minerals to enhance the sequestration reaction with CO₂, followed by drying the resulting solids for use as filler.
- Membrane-Based CO₂ Separation: Mixing and drying polymers used in gas separation membranes.
- Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift (SEWGS): Compacting and pelletizing CO₂-reactive materials for blue hydrogen and syngas production.
Our Process Equipment for Carbon Capture Applications
Hosokawa Micron offers a comprehensive range of processing solutions tailored to the diverse needs of carbon capture:
- Crushers & Fine Grinding Mills: Achieve optimal particle size of minerals to facilitate chemical reactions or prepare materials for industrial use.
- Vacuum Dryers: Remove residual moisture to ensure high-quality materials for applications such as membrane production.
- Flash Mill Dryers: Feed, deagglomerate, dry and classify materials—such as reaction-based minerals—to make them suitable for use as fillers.
- Compactors & Granulators: Pelletize sorbents and minerals to improve handling, transport and process efficiency.
- Classifiers & Separators: Ensure uniform particle distribution to enhance reactivity and support consistent CO₂ absorption performance.
- Solids Handling & Storage: Storage, conveying and dosing equipment for all types of solid materials.
- Process Consultancy & Testing: R&D support, pilot testing and rental units to accelerate your carbon capture operations.
Testing & Process Development
At Hosokawa Micron, we understand that carbon capture technologies demand lean, well-optimised process designs to succeed—both technically and economically. That’s why we offer advanced testing and process development services at our Test Centres in Germany and the Netherlands. These facilities allow you to evaluate sorbents, minerals and polymers under real-world conditions, validate equipment performance and optimise key parameters such as particle size, moisture content and material consistency before scaling up to full production.
Early-stage trials help reduce technical risks, lower both CAPEX and OPEX, and accelerate time to market. Whether you're assessing a single machine or developing a complete processing system, our expert team is here to support you in achieving maximum efficiency, reliable performance, and long-term return on investment.
