During the first phase of the project, according to Boise, the team will develop a conceptual design for a sequestration system integrated with the technology that may support injecting approximately 720,000 tons of CO2 per year into a deep flood basalt formation.
Fluor will design a customized version of its Econamine FG PlusSM carbon capture technology for operation with the specialized chemical composition of exhaust gases produced from combustion of black liquor fuels. Fluor will determine whether any special modifications are needed to accommodate flue gas produced at the mill, including potential side benefits of reducing emissions of sulfur compounds, which produce odors. The technology has been commercially proven on numerous industrial facilities for more than 20 years. This will be the paper industry's first use of flue gas.
