Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO) developed KS-1 and the KM CDR Process together.

 KS-1 is a proprietary amine-based solvent used in the KM CDR Process to capture carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)) from combustion exhaust gases. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO) developed KS-1 and the KM CDR Process together. 



 Features of KS-1 Low corrosion: KS-1 is less corrosive than other solvents and doesn't require a corrosion inhibitor.  

High loading rate: KS-1 has a high loading rate and low residual \(CO_{2}\) in the lean solvent.  

Low degradation: KS-1 has low degradation and a low circulation rate. 

 Energy efficient: KS-1 is energy efficient and has low energy consumption.  

Simple configuration: KS-1 operates at atmospheric pressure and has a simple configuration.  

 Benefits of KS-1 KS-1 can be used in a variety of flue gas sources.  

KS-1 can recover more than 90% of the \(CO_{2}\) in the target gas.  

KS-1 can reduce steam consumption.  KS-1 can lead to decreased operating costs.
