    Capture your unavoidable emissions

    Our modular approach reduces project complexity and lead times, mitigates risks, and keeps down CAPEX. MAN CCUS features modular compression solutions for all available capture technologies.

    Go modular – towards net zero

Fueling everday life

Shortest downtimes determine economic viability of an industry

Petrochemical feedstocks are major assets of modern everyday life. Whether polymers and plastics, detergents and cleaning agents or pharmaceutical intermediates – the petrochemical industry is the foundation of numerous essential products. The reliable and continuous operation of petrochemical plants is crucial to ensuring profitable production in a challenging market environment. At the same time, growing safety requirements must be met. Reducing downtime to a minimum can only be achieved by a turnaround provider with a proven track record, experienced personnel and single-source engineering and fabrication capabilities.

Enabling efficient and reliable production

MAN Energy Solutions has supplied compressors, gas and steam turbines, reactors, RFCC/FCC components and furnaces to petrochemical sites all over the world. Our broad expertise, longstanding experience and understanding of our customers’ demands are prerequisites for enabling low operating costs. This is because we support reliable, efficient and safe production processes with our turbomachinery as well as our reactors.

Heat pumps

MAN_VCC_redering

The petrochemical industry can use heat pumps to reduce CO2 emissions and heating costs. Heat pumps extract heat from low temperature sources such as water, air, or waste heat from machinery and amplify it to higher temperatures. When powered by renewable electricity, heat pumps can supply carbon-neutral heating or cooling. We scale our solutions to your temperature and power needs.

CCUS

MAN_CCUS-MODULARIZATION

Petrochemical plants emit large amounts of CO2 in the form of flue gases. This CO2 can be captured by amine treatment, cryogenic capture or pressure swing adsorption. It can then be purified, compressed, and transported to facilities that use it to make synthetic fuels, beverages, dry ice, or chemicals. CO2 can also be stored permanently in geologically secure reservoirs. MAN DWE supplies the technology for the compression and liquefaction of CO2, as well as for heat recovery and heat integration at your plant.
