Avantium N.V., a leader in renewable and circular polymer materials, announces that its subsidiary, Avantium R&D Solutions, has been awarded the design and supply of an advanced high-throughput adsorption testing unit to RWTH Aachen University. The unit is designed for both DAC and Carbon Capture at Point Source (CC), features multi-column high-throughput breakthrough analyzing capabilities.

To address climate change, carbon capture and carbon dioxide removal play an important role. Carbon dioxide removal technologies like DAC offer solutions for hard-to-abate industries to achieve net zero, as there are currently no viable alternatives. Avantium’s unique high-throughput units for adsorbent development and testing are used by DAC market leaders.  

The collaboration with RWTH Aachen University, one of Europe’s top research institutions, demonstrates how Avantium continues to support DAC technology developers.

This unique unit is designed for both DAC and Carbon Capture at Point Source (CC) and will be used for academic research and the development of adsorbents for carbon capture and DAC. One of the key features of Avantium’s DAC/CC units is the wide range of environmental conditions it can create for the adsorption phase such as high humidity and wide temperature window.  In addition it includes a multitude of desorption options such as TSA, Steam or Vacuum and the ability of cyclic operation for lifetime testing.

Avantium continues to support DAC research and development, aligning with its strategy to promote sustainable solutions and advance the improvements needed for large-scale deployment of these climate technologies.
