Innovative CCS Technology by Cansolv
Innovative CCS Technology by Cansolv
SaskPower has chosen SNC Lavalin-Cansolv to provide the carbon dioxide (CO2) capture system for the Boundary Dam Integrated Carbon Capture and Sequestration Demonstration Project.
Should it proceed, the carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project would transform an aging unit at Boundary Dam Power Station near Estevan into a reliable, long-term producer of 115 megawatts of clean baseload electricity, while enhancing provincial oil production and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Cansolv, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Global Solutions, will supply the carbon capture process design for the project. Cansolv has developed an innovative system of capturing sulphur dioxide at coal-fired power plants, which has been adopted by three facilities in China.
If the business case indicates that the project should proceed, this technology would be used to meet two requirements of the demonstration project - the capture of both carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide. A key aspect of this unique system is the recovery of waste energy between the two processes, which will reduce the operating cost of the project.
Plans call for the carbon dioxide captured at Boundary Dam to be sold to the oil and gas industry for enhanced oil recovery. The system also has the potential to produce a marketable byproduct - sulphuric acid.

The two companies involved in the partnership bring a significant amount of experience and skill to this project. With the innovative technology developed by Cansolv and the project management prowess of SNC Lavalin, SaskPower can take the next step in developing an innovative project that would ensure Saskatchewan has a reliable, affordable and clean supply of electricity for many years to come.
"The Government of Canada is pleased to be a partner in this project with a $240-million investment that will advance Canada's leadership in CCS technology, creating high-quality jobs for Canadians and helping to protect the environment," said David Anderson, Member of Parliament for Cypress Hills-Grasslands
The efficiency of the system would assist the efforts to ensure Saskatchewan residents have access to electricity that is both clean and affordable.
The Cansolv patented technology is a highly flexible system that uses regenerable amines and is applicable to a broad range of industrial applications in addition to power plant flue gases.
This project would fully integrate and retrofit an aging lignite coal-fired unit with carbon capture and an enhanced oil recovery operation.
This project in 2013, if it goes ahead, will be the world’s first commercial capture of CO2 from a coal-fired plant,’’ said Mike Monea, SaskPower’s vice-president of integrated carbon capture and sequestration (CCS).
