Carbon Capture Sampling and Analysis

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a cornerstone of the global energy transition— its success hinges on accurate, representative sampling and gas conditioning across all phases: gas, dense, and supercritical-phase CO₂. Without proper representativity exceedance outside impurities limites might go unnoticed thus risking process and storage safety. Regulatory compliance could be at risk and valuable carbon credits may be lost. At KPS) we understand that representativity is not optional—it is critical.

Why Representativity in CCUS Sampling Matters
In CCUS systems, CO₂ streams can vary significantly in pressure, temperature, phase behavior, and impurities (e.g., H₂S, SOx, NOx, amines, water, methane, nitrogen). Representative sampling ensures:
✅Accurate composition analysis for custody transfer, emission reporting, and process control
✅Safe and reliable process monitoring across injection, transport, and storage
✅Valid data for CO₂ accounting and certification under ETS and carbon credit schemes
Without representative samples and propoer , your CO₂ data is only as good as guesswork—putting your project’s credibility and profitability at risk.

How KPS Systems Ensure Best-in-Class Representativity
KPS delivers turnkey CCUS sampling and conditioning systems engineered for precision, safety, and compliance. Our systems are trusted by industry leaders because we address every factor influencing sampling accuracy:

Isokinetic Probe Design
Our patented eJet Isokinetic Sampling Probe eliminates phase separation and velocity distortion. Especially in dense or supercritical CO₂, isokinetics ensure that the sample extracted mirrors the flowing process—no heavier or lighter components left behind.

– Homogenization and Inline Mixing
CO₂ mixtures often stratify or exhibit temperature and phase gradients. Our inline eJet Mixing Technology guarantees homogeneous flow profiles upstream of the sampling point—essential for consistent analysis.

– Sample Conditioning
From pressure letdown to dew point control, our sample conditioning units stabilize and preserve sample integrity from source to analyzer—ensuring dry, vapor-phase delivery, even from supercritical lines.

– Compliance & Flexibility
KPS systems are built to meet ISO 10715, API 14.1, and DNV-RP-J201 guidelines for CO₂ and gas sampling. Our modular approach allows integration into new or existing CCUS infrastructure—onshore or offshore.
