Construction of Beccs Stockholm has reached another important milestone. The first two pieces of process equipment for the carbon capture facility have now been installed at the site in Värtahamnen, marking the start of a new phase of construction.
The first installations are two vessels with different roles in the process. One will collect liquid from different parts of the facility when pipes or equipment need to be drained.
The second vessel weighs around six tonnes and will collect condensate from steam. This allows both water and heat to be recovered and reused in the process.
The two vessels are far from the largest pieces of equipment that will be installed at Beccs Stockholm, but they are the very first pieces of the process equipment to be installed on site.
Their installation therefore marks a visible step forward for the project. After a long period in which much of the construction work has focused on groundwork, foundations, concrete structures, the quay and the emerging steel structure, the equipment that will form the carbon capture facility itself is now beginning to take its place.
More process equipment will follow as construction continues in the Energy Harbour, Stockholm.
