Longship; Carbon Catcher Simulator in Norway

 

Brevik CCS in Norway is part of the Longship project, which aims to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from cement production. A crucial component at Brevik CCS is a custom-designed simulator.

The Operator Training Simulator (OTS) will play a vital role in the CCS project in Brevik, by allowing operators to learn and practice the operation of a chemical process – in a virtual and risk-free environment. OTS can help operators master operations under various conditions and handle any unforeseen events that may arise during the process.

Aker Carbon Capture has provided the capture technology used at Brevik CCS. MAN Energy Solutions has contributed with Carbon Capture Heat Recovery technology, which recovers heat from the compression system for use in the carbon capture plant, making the entire process more energy-efficient.

Longship is Europe’s first approved full-scale CCS project. Its purpose is to demonstrate that CO2 management is safe and feasible. Longship aims to be a significant contributor to the development of CCS as a climate measure. This includes developing solutions and sharing knowledge with subsequent projects. OTS is a prime example of a contribution from Longship. It ensures that operators have the necessary knowledge and skills, including in-depth knowledge of CCS technology. This enables them to handle equipment and processes efficiently and safely.

Training for operators and maintenance workers is followed up with further education and refresher courses. Operators’ skills are regularly evaluated through tests and practical assessments.
