Overview of OASE Gas Treatment 

Steam cracker II, the largest individual plant at BASF's Ludwigshafen site, covers a surface area of about 64,000 square meters, which is about the size of 13 soccer fields. The steam cracker is also the heart of BASF's Verbund production strategy. This giant plant has been operating since 1981 and uses steam to crack naphtha at about 850°C [1,562°F]. This process leads primarily to ethylene and propylene, both indispensable feedstocks for manufacturing numerous products in Ludwigshafen.

HiPACT®

In partnership with JGC, BASF has developed a unique high-pressure gas treatment technology for high-pressure regeneration to allow for energy-efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications, which is marketed under the HiPACT® brand.

The power plant site in Niederaussem, Germany: This is where the joint research program for CO2 scrubbing by BASF, Linde and RWE Power started. CO2 scrubbing is a key technology for carbon capture and storage (CCS). The results achieved are remarkable: significantly reduced energy consumption, high purity of the captured CO2, low detergent consumption and a plant availability of 97 percent.

OASE® blue for Flue Gas and Post Combustion CO2 Capture

From the very beginning, OASE® blue was developed specifically as an optimized large-scale post-combustion capture (PCC) technology. BASF supplies customers with a customized technology package along with highly stable, low-maintenance innovative solvent solutions for specific applications.
