Sustenol TM
SustenolTM is a patented water-lean mixed amine solvent for CO2 capture from point source and industrial flue gas streams. It has been extensively tested at bench-scale and pilot-scale.

















Sustenol is backed and vetted by industry leaders
Stirred Tank Screening Reactor

Proof of concept testing of solvent for key parameters such as working capacity, absorption rate, and vapor pressure.

Start of DOE-FE-0032216 project
Received $1M to develop a novel solvent, Sustenol™, with a 40% reduction in CO2 capture cost relative to the state-of-the-art technologies.

Semi-batch bench scale absorption column
Scale : 15 kg CO2/day
Confirmation of solvent performance under realistic process conditions and formulation optimization.

Pilot scale continuous solvent based CO2 capture system at PDEU
Scale : 350 kg CO2/day
External validation of solvent performance at higher scale in more commercial relevant system

Start of DOE-FE-0032461 project
Received $6 M to further develop Sustenol™ to be run at a 5 tonne CO2/day scale at NCCC

Susteon’s continuous solvent based CO2 capture pilot
Scale : 40 kg CO2/day
Long term testing of Sustenol™ in a commercially relevant system to identify optimal process conditions and investigate degradation when exposed to NOx and SOx

Sustenol™ emissions as well as thermal and oxidative degradation tested at SINTEF
Received $6 M to further develop Sustenol™ to be run at a 5 tonne CO2/day scale at NCCC

1000 hours of continuous testing to be done in Susteon’s in house continuous pilot

National Carbon Capture Center pilot scale solvent test unit
Scale : 5 tonne CO2/day
10,000 liters of solvent will be used to capture CO2 from flue gas via a 0.5 MW NGCC power plant to demonstrate viability at a pre-commercial scale.

Validated from lab to engineering scale
