Automation solutions for CCUS and DAC systems Increase the efficiency and safety of your systems for capturing, utilizing, and storing carbon with our open control and monitoring solutions.

CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) and DAC (Direct Air Capture) are promising technologies for reducing carbon emissions. To achieve net zero targets, more and more companies are investing in CCUS and DAC systems. The systems generate large amounts of data. To optimize operation and identify potential failures at an early stage, this data must be collected, stored, and analyzed efficiently. In addition, seamless integration of the different systems is important and requires scalable and open automation solutions. To ensure that your systems operate safely, reliably, and economically, we offer modular and technology-neutral concepts for networking and automation.

Our open PLCnext Technology Ecosystem allows you to control and monitor the entire carbon capture system. This includes processes related to adsorption, the generation of process heat, and associated safety systems. The system architecture of PLCnext Technology is optimized for the decentralized setup of large-scale carbon capture systems.

At the same time, PLCnext Technology serves as the foundation for intelligent, AI-supported data utilization. Sensor data is collected in real time, analyzed in a structured manner, and made available for diagnostic, maintenance, and optimization processes. AI-supported analyses detect deviations from normal operation at an early stage, thereby increasing the efficiency and availability of the system.

Our open ecosystem PLCnext Technology allows you to control and monitor the entire carbon capture system. This includes, for example, control systems for processes with liquid and solid adsorption materials. The boiler control required for specific processes and the associated safety systems can also be implemented. The system architecture of PLCnext Technology is optimized for the distributed setup of large-scale carbon capture systems.

Our solution supports maintenance concepts based on diagnostic signals. PLCnext Technology records the sensor data synchronously and evaluates it in the appropriate format. This streamlines the planning and decision-making processes, thereby increasing the efficiency of carbon capture by using the data intelligently. AI-supported evaluations can detect deviations from the standard behavior of the system. It is possible to link to external databases as well as model and scenario calculations via Matlab Simulink or PLCnext Technology.

We offer a range of options for secure remote access to your carbon capture systems. This means that you can perform maintenance and service jobs quickly and efficiently, as well as significantly reduce costly and time-consuming on-site service calls. For data transmission, we offer our mGuard Secure Cloud solution. This turnkey remote maintenance solution connects service personnel and systems over the Internet securely and reliably. The mGuard Secure Cloud uses highly secure VPN tunnels and ensures the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of data transmitted between the devices.

The modular Direct Air Capture system from DACMA reliably supplies CO₂ for the production of synthetic fuels in the H₂Mare project. Our automation solution combines secure remote access and functional safety to ensure stable system operation.
