Carbon capture pilot at Big Spring refinery

The objectives of this project are to design and build a large-scale pilot which will capture 145,000 tpy of CO2 from a fluid catalytic cracking unit stack at Delek’s Big Spring, TX industrial refinery using Svante’s post-combustion capture sorbent with a rotating adsorption machine.

Offtake plans are to transport and sequester via Kinder-Morgan's pipeline system to a Class VI well to qualify for the 45Q credit.

Applicant has intention to:

1) Expand to 10 flue gas sources accounting for 95% of facility’s flue gas with total capture of 730,000 (metric) tpy of CO2,

2) Reduce SOx emissions by 550 tpy and PM by 100 tpy,

3) Reduce OPEX up to 30% and reduce CAPEX up to 5%,

4) Create ~400 construction jobs over 18 months, paid ~ $55 per hour,

5) Work with community partners (USW & IUOE) to establish a carbon capture schoolhouse designed to train local union members on CCUS curriculum and relevant skills; and

6) Expand Delek’s skilled O&M workforce to CCUS.
