Delta has completed the development of its advanced PDOengine® that will assist the Delta engineering team in the design, modelling, and simulation of efficient CO₂ capture, solvent reclaimer, and gas processing systems.

PDOengine™ is a proprietary design and diagnostic software algorithm that scales plant equipment, predicts the performance of CO₂ capture, optimizes the operation of CO₂ capture and gas treatment, petrochemical, oil and gas industries.

• Process design,
• Optimum allocation of scarce resources,
• Equipment and unit operations sizing,
• Sensitivity analysis,
• Process troubleshooting, debottlenecking, optimization, and
• Optimizing solvent reclaimer systems.

The rigorous models used by Delta’s team are based on in-house developed models and proven commercial programs engineered to perform the above applications. Depending on the application, the models could take into consideration the coupling between mass transfer, energy transfer, momentum transfer, chemical equilibrium and/or chemical kinetics. These more efficient techniques allow us to design CO₂ capture, gas processing and solvent reclaimer systems that are more energy efficient, while simultaneously reducing capital and operating costs.

Efficient and cost-effective is what the market is now looking for. The PDOengine® is the heart of our LCDesign CO₂ Capture System™; our process design advantage gives us the competitive lead in the CO₂ capture, solvent reclaimer, and gas processing design market today.
