Carbon Capture Absorption Solvents

Tonexus positions itself as a provider of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology, and what sets the company apart in the market is its proprietary TX-1 absorption solvent, which is engineered to address common industry problems. Tonexus maintains that its TX-1 absorption solvent is significantly more resistant to oxidative degradation compared to conventional solvents. This may potentially have implications for reducing waste and operating costs associated with solvent replacement. Tonexus also emphasizes energy efficiency, citing a lower steam consumption per ton of CO₂ captured during the solvent regeneration process and the use of proprietary heat exchangers in the overall system design. The company also promotes its ability to handle low-concentration CO₂ sources from industrial applications like cement and steel production.
