Moss Landing Process R&D
We have completed a substantial amount of laboratory, bench, pilot, and large batch-process and demonstration scale research and development that have proven the process chemistry, robustness and scalability of the CMAP process. At our R&D operations at Moss Landing California we have a 20 acre industrial site with greater than 150,000 square feet of high bay buildings that are uniquely suitable for our development activities. At this site we have large batch units that can operate with 200,000 gals of brine mixtures per run. We have a continuous pilot plant that operates on coal flue gas where we have proven the operation and integration of all of the CMAP process unit components for capture, mineralization, dewatering, and product generation. We have a pilot scale desalinization unit that can treat 48,000 gal per day where we have proven the ability to use different membranes and source waters to yield clean water. We have a pilot scale electrochemical plant capable of producing a tonne per day of sodium hydroxide using our revolutionary Low Voltage Base technology. We have a demonstration plant where we have proven the ability carbon dioxide from a slipstream of the flue gas produced by the adjacent Dynegy Moss Landing natural gas fired combined cycle power plant. The design rate of flue gas flow that can be processed in the plant, approximately 20,000 standard cubic feet per minute is equivalent to approximately 10 MW of electrical power from a coal-fired plant.
