Rotating Packed Beds
A rotating revolution
We're at the forefront of Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) innovation. Delivering compact, high-performance carbon capture solutions that are reshaping the future of industrial decarbonisation.
At the heart of CycloneCC™ is the breakthrough combination of two process intensification technologies: RPBs and Carbon Clean’s proprietary APBS-CDRMax® solvent.
Compact and cost-effective
RPBs replace every column used in conventional solutions – a technological breakthrough in carbon capture, substantially shrinking the size and height of the unit.
With equipment that's 10x smaller, CycloneCC™ is redefining what's possible in carbon capture.
Smarter mass transfer, smaller footprint.
RPBs contain disks of packing material which rotate about their axis, generating centrifugal forces far greater than gravity, intensifying CO₂ absorption.
This force creates finer droplets and solvent films, increasing surface area and accelerating mass transfer, making the process faster and more efficient. The result? A capture unit smaller than conventional systems, with no loss in performance.
Our RPBs aren't just smaller - they're smarter. That's why leading emitters choose CycloneCC™.

From concept to carbon capture
Our RPB development journey
We launched our CycloneCC™ pilot which utilised our first 1 tonne per day (TPD) RPB. The unit was visited by His Majesty King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) while at COP26 in Glasgow.

We scaled to 10 TPD and the modular unit successfully achieved a milestone of around 4,000 operating hours over a 6 month period. Delivering a high purity CO2 product at a nitrogen fertiliser plant in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

We successfully factory tested the world’s largest RPB representing a more than 20-fold RPB scale-up from the Industrial Demonstration Unit. Our C1 RPB enables the capture of up to 100,000 tonnes per annum.
