CO2 compression capabilities
Baker Hughes has an extensive portfolio evolved from proven products and more than 50 years of experience in CO2 compression. Our equipment is operating in more than 90 plants, and we have new developments to maximize performance for carbon-capture applications. The typical train arrangement includes a steam turbine or electric motor driving a high-speed barrel compressor through an increasing gearbox or a pump for CO2 compression applications. We can also provide a plug-and-pay solution fully integrated with a multistage pump.
