Delivered within Selby College’s brand-new Carbon Capture and Storage centre
and its Institute of Technology laboratory, learners will have the opportunity
to use cutting edge technology and training rigs.
The course will be delivered one day a week over five weeks in the classroom,
with a mixture of theory and online immersive learning.
What is Carbon Capture?
Carbon Capture is the process of removing CO2 from an emission source. A
common method for achieving this is to direct the emissions into a Carbon
Capture plant which uses a solvent solution to remove CO2, which is then stored.
This is called post-combustion carbon capture using amine solutions.
At Selby College, we have a gas absorption rig which mimics this process. We
use water as the solvent so that once the carbon is captured from emissions, we
are left with just water and CO2. By using a rig which mimics real-world Carbon
Capture methods, learners are able to generate data on the Carbon Capture
process and scope whether a plant could be implemented in their particular
industry or business.
