Scaling non-toxic, low-cost potassium carbonate carbon capture
Nick brings over 26 years of engineering and commercial leadership in specialty chemicals and capital equipment to his role as VP of Business Development at 8 Rivers. Having held pivotal positions at SUEZ, GE, and Veolia, he now drives the global commercialization of decarbonized power, hydrogen, and carbon capture technologies.
His extensive expertise spans the mining, steel, power generation, and oil and gas sectors. Nick holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Drexel University and an MBA from NC State University.
Scaling Up Next-Generation, Non-Toxic, Low-Cost Potassium Carbonate Carbon Capture Technology
A close look at how advanced solvent-based potassium carbonate (KC8) capture compares to standard amine systems — covering commercial scale-up potential, project-level engineering and economics, and early operating results from a 5-tpd pilot plant on power-plant flue gases.
- Evaluating the commercial scale-up potential and performance history of advanced solvent-based potassium carbonate applications
- Analyzing project-level engineering considerations and comparative economics of next-generation KC8 technology versus standard amine systems
- Presenting initial pilot plant design findings and operational results from a 5-tpd facility evaluating power plant flue gases
