In the pilot zone (64), the customer wants to set up a CO₂ capture infrastructure to test the capture on real smoke. Evolutec carries out the conceptual study in order to estimate the work and to define the scope of technical interventions (processes, piping, civil engineering, safety, etc.).

In a context of energy transition, the establishment of a CO₂ capture infrastructure on the TotalEnergies PPL pilot platform is a strategic challenge for testing technologies on real smoke from a boiler from another manufacturer. The scope of the study includes several aspects: the simulation of processes using material/energy balances and PFD, the design of equipment (buffer tanks, boosters, cooling loops, etc.), as well as the modeling of pipe installations in 3D.
In parallel, civil/structural engineering studies determine the paving of equipment, while a HAZID analysis and a dispersion study assess potential risks. The EIA study completes the file by integrating connection needs and safety philosophy, and an overall estimate (± 30%) is carried out in connection with a previous project, reinforcing the reliability of planning. Weekly meetings and close coordination between Evolutec and Insite ensure compliance with the schedule and an optimized budget estimate despite price volatility.
The customer expects the concept study to provide a reliable assessment of the work required to set up the CO₂ capture infrastructure. The solution must make it possible to precisely meet technical requirements (processes, pipes, pipes, safety, civil engineering) with an optimized budget estimate and schedule. The approach must also guarantee the mastery of the interfaces between the various disciplines and offer a complete vision of the technical and financial feasibility of the project, based on proven feedback.
Provide an accurate budget and schedule estimate (± 30%) for the project.
Integrate multidisciplinary studies for a global vision of feasibility.
Guarantee coordination between processes, safety, pipes and structures.
The mission requires the mastery of several disciplines in order to provide a robust conceptual study for CO₂ capture. It includes extensive procedural analyses, accurate pipe sizing, structural assessment, and a comprehensive safety study using HAZID and other tools. The objective is to produce a detailed preliminary project file integrating a financial estimate and a precise schedule, while relying on feedback from similar projects to refine the method and secure the scope of implementation.
Perform a complete simulation of processes and material/energy balances.
Size the pipe and create a 3D model to visualize the layout.
Perform an integrated safety analysis (HAZID and dispersion study).
