Boost Your Carbon Capture Efficiency
with Aerodynamic Optimization
BoostDAC specializes in advancing direct air carbon capture (DAC) systems through comprehensive engineering and environmental analysis. Explore our range of services to optimize your DAC designing, planning and operations.
Why DAC Calls for Aerodynamics?
01.
DAC is Site Dependent on Performance
The production capacity of a DAC facility can vary depending on its geological location, much like how the performance of a wind turbine is influenced by its placement
02.
DAC is Configuration Dependent
The arrangement and installation of DAC modules, similar to assembling Legos, can significantly impact their performances. Therefore, optimizing the placement of these modules is essential.
03.
DAC is Meteorology Dependent
DAC performance is influenced by meteorological conditions, affecting its efficiency and output. Weather variations can significantly impact operational effectiveness.
In Brief
DAC is Micro-Climate Dependent
We can conclude that these factors all relate to the micro-climate within and around the DAC facility site. Aerodynamics fits this purpose for improvement.
Optimizing Your DAC System for Maximum Efficiencies
Congratulations! on the success development of your unique DAC model. The next step is to scale it to a pilot site and eventually a commercial facility for permanent CO2 capture and storage. Outdoor operations are influenced by site meteorology, topography, surrounding built conditions as well as DAC installation patterns of module units or configurations, which can eventually affect CO2 production capacity.
At BoostDAC, we use advanced engineering and environmental analysis to refine your DAC system’s aerodynamics for both external and internal flow. Our research shows that using a site-adapted design with the same DAC module can significantly impact CO2 production capacity. Our expert team ensures your system operates at peak efficiency by integrating seamlessly with local environmental conditions.

BoostDAC’s expertise will help to advance your DAC systems, significantly enhancing capture efficiency.
Note:
A 3% improvement, a very conservative estimate of capturing efficiency regain, could yield an additional 30,000 tons of CO2 per year for a 1M ton/year CO2 facility, which is equivalent to adding 7.5 x Climeworks’s Orca* 4000-ton/year facilities or 75 x Carbon Engineering’s Squamish 400-ton/year facilities to the site!
* ClimeWorks’ ORCA facility is currently the largest and fully operational commercial DAC in the world
