Bigtex Co., Ltd., a company specializing in carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology, announced that it received a commendation from the President of the Korea Invention Promotion Association at the '60th Invention Day' ceremony held on the 26th.
The event is hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office and organized by the Korea Invention Promotion Association, and is a place to reward individuals and organizations that have contributed to the promotion of invention and industrial technology innovation. Winners are selected through a rigorous first internal review and second external public verification.
Bigtex received this award in recognition of its development of modular compact carbon capture and liquefaction technology. The technology is a compact and economically efficient CCUS solution for small and medium-sized carbon dioxide emission sources, and is considered to have a structure that is differentiated from existing technologies centered on large facilities.
According to the company, the developed carbon capture technology adopted a hybrid structure to maintain absorption efficiency while reducing the height of the equipment by approximately 90%, and the modular design in 20-foot container units made the facility compact. In addition, the drive method utilizing exhaust gas pressure secured the effect of reducing energy consumption.
Carbon liquefaction technology is also known to have improved energy efficiency by introducing step-by-step compression and cooling methods and air-cooling technology. The company explained that this technology is highly applicable to areas where space and budget are limited, such as ▲blue hydrogen production, ▲ship operation, and ▲small and medium-sized manufacturers.
Choi Jin-heung, CEO of Bigtex, said, “This award is an official recognition of Bigtex’s technological achievements,” and added, “We will continue to contribute to the expansion of the CCUS industry and the realization of carbon neutrality based on the modularization, optimization, and miniaturization of facilities.”
