There are many obstacles to tracking CO₂ purity and detecting impurities in Carbon Capture, Carbon Sequestration, Pipeline Transport, and bioGenic CO₂ applications. To guarantee the purity of the CO₂ captured and avoid contamination, these procedures necessitate the exact measurement of several gases, including CO₂, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, and trace elements.

Any impurities, including sulfur compounds, nitrogen oxides, chlorinated compounds, hydrocarbons, acidic gases, and moisture, can seriously compromise the integrity of CO₂ and cause acidic conditions to form.

When these contaminants are present in CO₂ being transported via pipelines, carbonic acid or other corrosive compounds may form. This can result in significant pipeline corrosion, which can deteriorate infrastructure and cause disastrous failures and environmental risks.

Furthermore, it is even more difficult to identify and measure these contaminants due to the different pressures, temperatures, and compositional conditions used in these applications.

Adhering to strict regulatory standards creates another layer of difficulty, as industries are required to follow particular safety and environmental guidelines to protect the environment and public health.

To overcome these difficulties, the ASTG AirBreather Platform offers a complete solution for tracking the purity of CO₂ and identifying contaminants in vital applications.

Due to its sophisticated sensing technologies, the AirBreather Platform provides real-time, high-precision monitoring of CO₂ and impurities, including gases like moisture and sulfur compounds that can cause acidic conditions.

Early risk identification is made possible by its capacity to identify impurities at even trace levels.

Proactive monitoring protects pipeline systems from corrosion's destructive effects and averts catastrophic failures.

The platform's seamless integration with the newest technologies ensures the highest levels of accuracy and dependability, while its modular design offers flexibility to adapt to various operational environments.

By surpassing all regulatory requirements, the AirBreather Platform guarantees environmental safety and CO₂ purity adherence to industry standards.

Whether for pipeline transportation, carbon capture, sequestration, or biogenic CO₂ processes, the AirBreather Platform guarantees operational effectiveness and protects infrastructure from corrosive conditions that could otherwise cause serious harm and environmental risks.

Simultaneous analysis of 50+ targeted impurities, with the flexibility to add additional compounds of interest.
