Circular Chemistry
Conversion
When processing emissions such as CO2, plasma technology allows us to create new compounds by altering the original gas. For instance, by adding H2O during CO2 processing, we can generate different types of hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are then separated through methods like distillation to yield compounds such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons
A well-known product of this process is ethane (C2H6) or ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH), commonly known as alcohol. These are direct results of the BlueReactor Toolbox, which outlines the process of converting emissions through plasma. The hydrocarbons produced are carefully filtered to ensure purity and can be utilized across various industries.
Oil & Gas
A large part of the BlueReactor Toolbox is the separation of gases that convert to the needed resource, such as ethanol, along with many other hydrocarbons. This part of the process utilizes technology that is already well-established and commonly used within the oil and gas industry, for example. By incorporating these familiar technologies, we can seamlessly integrate the BlueReactor into the existing ecosystem. This means that instead of developing entirely new systems, we can leverage existing knowledge and practices, ensuring a smoother, more efficient transition while enhancing sustainability within the sector.
