CO2-SAMMS™
There is increasing concern about the impact that greenhouse gases may have on the future stability of the environment. A key component of managing the impact of global warming is to capture CO2 emissions and somehow sequester that CO2 in a form where it cannot act as a greenhouse gas. EDA-SAMMS™ (and related materials) have been shown to effectively scrub CO2 from mixed gas streams. In contrast to monoethanolamine (MEA, an industry standard for CO2 removal), there are no VOC concerns with EDA-SAMMS™. The CO2 can be easily released using a simple thermal swing. For more information on EDA-SAMMS™ for CO2 removal, please see the literature references at the bottom of the page.
