Sealing the Future: Using Innovation to Accelerate CCUS

This event is now available on demand.

Event Overview:

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) initiatives are key to achieving Net Zero targets. Yet to accelerate CCUS progress, operators must address the significant challenges posed by CO2—including supercritical CO2, (sCO2), which is particularly complex due to multi-phase operation. In this essential new energy webinar, John Crane’s experts explore these challenges and other considerations, equipping you to accelerate CCUS progress through the power of advanced CO2 sealing technologies.
Join industry experts for an in-depth discussion on the challenges and opportunities of sCO2, the essentials of dry gas seals and the strategic importance of CCUS initiatives for the energy and process industries. The webinar will conclude with an interactive Q&A session that provides mission-critical insights into the new energy landscape.

    
Key Learning Objectives:
  • Fundamentals of Dry Gas Seal Technology: Gain a solid understanding of how dry gas seals function, their design considerations and their critical role in maintaining the integrity of industrial machinery and CO2 management.
  • Insights into CO2 Properties and Industrial Relevance: Learn about the unique properties of CO2, particularly in its supercritical state, and how these properties affect handling and containment in industrial systems.
  • Innovations in Sealing Technology and CO2 Applications: Delve into state-of-the-art sealing solutions, explore the potential of sCO2, and learn about the impact of CCUS on sustainability.    

Who Should Attend:
  • Engineering professionals seeking to expand expertise in industrial sealing solutions     
  • Environmental specialists focused on CO2 reduction strategies
  • Operational leaders looking to enhance efficiency and compliance in the industry
  • Policy makers and industry regulators interested in the latest compliance and efficiency practices
