Svante (formerly Inventys Thermal Technologies) announced that Daryl D. Musselman, PhD, P.Eng. was recently appointed Vice President, Manufacturing Operations, filing a strategic position as the carbon capture technology company builds the world’s first pilot-scale plant using structured adsorbents to capture CO2 for Husky Energy.
“Daryl has unique experience in the gas separation business and comprehensive understanding of structured adsorbent bed manufacturing process,” President and CEO Claude Letourneau said. “Furthermore, with more than 25 years’ experience as a mechanical expert, he will be responsible for the strategy, planning, direction and execution for all of our manufacturing operations, including supply chain management, engineering group (manufacturing process and full turn-key gas treatment plants) and field services of gas plants.”
Dr. Musselman commented, “Svante is pioneering the development of a compact adsorption machine to separate CO2 from dilute flue gas. This approach, in my opinion, has the potential to significantly improve the speed, size, and costs of carbon capture system deployment. I look forward to contributing to the commercialization of this technology.”
The VeloxoTherm™ System is a next-generation CO2-capture technology that has the potential to deliver breakthrough capture costs. By combining a uniquely patented solid adsorbent structure with a rapid cycling temperature swing adsorption process, Svante has successfully demonstrated economical CO2-capture capabilities with its compact adsorption machine.
Earlier this year, Svante announced plans to commission a 30-tonne per day (TPD) CO2-capture pilot plant to capture CO2 from a once-through steam generator (OTSG) at Husky’s Pikes Peak South Lloyd thermal project. The pilot plant is planned to be commissioned in the fall of 2018.
