The Braddock, Pennsylvania plant underwent a major $39 million refurbishment over 54 days that involved 107,000 employee hours and 400 contractors. Major work included overhauling the main air compressors and replacing heat exchangers and purification vessels. Safety was a top priority, and the project was completed with only one minor medical treatment. The extensive planning and contributions of many teams enabled customers' demands to be met during the outage through deliveries from alternative plants. The successful project renewed the plant's contract for another 15 years.

Decarbonizing Industry Using Carbon Capture: Norway Full Chain CCSGlobal CCS Institute
Industrial sectors such as steel, cement, iron, and chemicals production are responsible for over 20 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To be on track to meet greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets established as part of the Paris Climate Accord, all sectors must find solutions to rapidly decarbonize, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is the only path for energy-intensive industries.
This webinar will explore how one country, Norway, is working to realize a large-scale Full Chain CCS project, where it is planning to apply carbon capture technology to several industrial facilities. This unique project explores capturing CO2 from three different industrial facilities - an ammonia production plant, a waste-to-energy plant, and a cement production facility. Captured CO2 will be then transported by ship to a permanent off-shore storage site operated as part of a collaboration between Statoil, Total, and Shell. When operational, Norway Full Chain CCS will capture and permanently store up to 1.5 million tons of CO2 per year.
During this webinar, Michael Carpenter, Senior Adviser at Gassnova, will provide an overview of the Norway Full Chain CCS, and discuss the value that Norway aims to derive from it. The key stakeholders working on this exciting project, and how they cooperate, will be also discussed. Gassnova is a Norwegian state enterprise focusing on CCS technology, which manages the Norway Full Chain CCS project.

Webinar Series: Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum Part 1. CCUS in the Uni...Global CCS Institute
The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is a Ministerial-level international climate change initiative that is focused on the development of improved cost-effective technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS). As part of our commitment to raising awareness of CCS policies and technology, CSLF, with support from the Global CCS Institute, is running a series of webinars showcasing academics and researchers that are working on some of the most interesting CCS projects and developments from around the globe.
This first webinar comes to you from Abu Dhabi – the site of the Mid-Year CSLF Meeting and home of the Al Reyadah Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) Project. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the world’s major oil exporters, with some of the highest levels of CO2 emissions per capita. These factors alone make this a very interesting region for the deployment of CCUS both as an option for reducing CO2 emissions, but also linking these operations for the purposes of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations.
In the UAE, CCUS has attracted leading academic institutes and technology developers to work on developing advanced technologies for reducing CO2 emissions. On Wednesday, 26th April, we had the opportunity to join the Masdar Institute’s Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Mohammad Abu Zahra to learn about the current status and potential for CCUS in the UAE.
Mohammad presented an overview of the current large scale CCUS demonstration project in the UAE, followed by a presentation and discussion of the ongoing research and development activities at the Masdar Institute.
This webinar offered a rare opportunity to put your questions directly to this experienced researcher and learn more about the fascinating advances being made at the Masdar Institute.
Cutting Cost of CO2 Capture in Process Industry (CO2stCap) Project overview &...Global CCS Institute
The CO2StCap project is a four year initiative carried out by industry and academic partners with the aim of reducing capture costs from CO2 intensive industries (more info here). The project, led by Tel-Tek, is based on the idea that cost reduction is possible by capturing only a share of the CO2emissions from a given facility, instead of striving for maximized capture rates. This can be done in multiple ways, for instance by capturing only from the largest CO2 sources at individual multi-stack sites utilising cheap waste heat or adapting the capture volumes to seasonal changes in operations.
The main focus of this research is to perform techno-economic analyses for multiple partial CO2 capture concepts in order to identify economic optimums between cost and volumes captured. In total for four different case studies are developed for cement, iron & steel, pulp & paper and ferroalloys industries.
The first part of the webinar gave an overview of the project with insights into the cost estimation method used. The second part presented the iron & steel industry case study based on the Lulea site in Sweden, for which waste-heat mapping methodology has been used to assess the potential for partial capture via MEA-absorption. Capture costs for different CO2 sources were compared and discussed, demonstrating the viability of partial capture in an integrated steelworks.
Webinar presenters included Ragnhild Skagestad, senior researcher at Tel-Tek; Maximilian Biermann, PhD student at Division of Energy Technology, Chalmers University of Technology and Maria Sundqvist, research engineer at the department of process integration at Swerea MEFOS.

Research Overview:
Details: The research for this report is based on twenty-eight surveys fielded during the period of January 2012 – December 2015. The research was a progressive set of studies to understand supply chain excellence. In the report, we use responses from over 2000 respondents to understand the characteristics of a supply chain that is working well.
Objective: To better understand the levers and actions that are the most impactful for supply chain leaders to take to improve supply chain excellence.
Highlights: While many claim that consolidation of ERP instances will improve supply chain excellence, we find in this report that companies that report that their supply chains are working well have designed organizations to centralize reporting with manufacturing reporting to the supply chain leader In addition, these leaders invested in supply chain visibility, have a clearer definition of supply chain strategy to improve alignment and agility, and are better at delivering on technology projects to deliver software usability.

The impressive Braddock relife, by the numbers
Though it succeeded because of the work of many people, the scale of the recent total
refurbishment of the Braddock, Pennsylvania plant is best described with some impressive
numbers:
• $39 million budget
• 107,000 employee hours
• 54 days shut down for the work
• 400 contractors
• Eight cranes used for multiple major lifts of equipment ranging in weights from 15 to 40 tons
• Only one recordable medical treatment case: A worker received medication for perlite dust in
the eye
• Over 40,000 tons of LOX and LIN delivered to U.S. Steel from alternative Linde plants during
the outage
• More than 25,000 tons of liquid oxygen and liquid argon delivered to Braddock liquid customers
during the outage from other Linde plants
• Seventy-four additional transport trucks and drivers used to support the demand from US Steel
and the liquid customers
Bob Schluter, principal project manager for the job, said planning for the relife project started in
2010. The scope included a complete plant upgrade that would result in improved reliability and
efficiency, making it ready for a renewed 15-year contract with U.S. Steel.
The work took place in stages, including the addition of a new nitrogen product compressor in
2013, conversion of the process control system to a newer Siemens system in the fall of 2014
and the major outage work, which began on March 18 and was completed on May 10. All
remaining work, including painting, is scheduled to be completed by the fall.
Safety efforts focused on leading behaviors such as gathering observations, coaching, teaching,
sharing good catches and promoting positive behaviors, said Schluter.
Rob Brown, head of Supply Chain Planning, noted that many customers in the East and Midwest
regions had to be supplied from alternate plants to support the large liquid demand in the
Pittsburgh area. For example, the company shipped argon from the new La Porte, Texas plant to
serve customers throughout the country via truck and railed product to Arroyo, West Virginia as
well. The company also sourced product from Delta, Ohio; Buffalo, New York; Braddock,
Pennsylvania and Claymont, Delaware.
“Energy negotiated a special rate to allow for the extra Arroyo and Fostoria production,” said
Brown. “Thanks to principal Linde ASU source plants (particularly Fostoria, Delta, Arroyo, and La
Porte) for the extra production and loading support and thanks to transport operations at plants in
the Midwest and East (particularly Braddock, Arroyo), National Scheduling Center, Transport
platform, Energy Solutions Operators, and Supply Chain Planning.”
Major work included the complete overhaul of the 34,000 HP main air compressor and a 24,000
HP booster air compressor, replacing the internals of the pre-purification vessels that remove
moisture and carbon dioxide before the air enters the cryogenic part of the process and
replacement of eight of 12 main heat exchangers in the cold box – which required emptying the
cold box of 170,000 cubic feet of perlite and significant structural modifications for removal of the
old heat exchangers. There was plenty of other work as well.
“The entire Supply team worked closely together to supply our pipeline and liquid customers,”
said Brown. “By focusing on our customers we were able to provide uninterrupted supply during
the outage. The project team did a fantastic job with the restart of the plant which was vital to the
continued supply of our bulk and tonnage customers in the Pittsburgh area.”
