EPC Energy Delivers Modular Direct Air Capture (DAC) Test Bench | Enabling Engineering Validation of CO₂ Capture Technologies
As global decarbonization accelerates, carbon capture and direct air capture (DAC) technologies are becoming essential components of modern carbon management systems.
EPC Energy (Electro Power Cell Energy Technology) has recently delivered a modular DAC test bench system to a university for research and engineering validation. This project demonstrates EPC’s growing capabilities in DAC system engineering and test platform development.
DAC Test Bench for Engineering Validation
The delivered DAC system is designed not as a simple laboratory setup, but as an engineering-oriented testing platform, supporting:
Adsorbent material evaluation
CO₂ capture efficiency testing
Adsorption/desorption cycle analysis
Performance under varying operating conditions
This enables researchers to move beyond material-level studies toward system-level validation.
Modular DAC System Design
The DAC test platform includes:
Air handling and gas delivery unit
CO₂ adsorption module
Desorption and regeneration system
Temperature and flow control system
Data acquisition and control system
The modular design allows flexible configuration and future scalability toward pilot systems.
Bridging Lab Research and Engineering Systems
A key challenge in DAC development is bridging the gap between: Material performance and system operation
This DAC test bench addresses:
Lack of engineering-scale test platforms
Limited access to continuous operation data
Scaling challenges from lab to system
The system provides:
Stable operating conditions
Continuous testing capability
Reliable data for system scale-up
Integration with Power-to-X Systems
The value of DAC lies not only in CO₂ capture, but in its integration with downstream systems.
The platform can support future applications such as:
CO₂ to syngas via electrochemical conversion
CO₂ + green hydrogen → methanol
CO₂ utilization in Power-to-X systems
When coupled with PEM/AEM electrolysis hydrogen systems, it enables: Integrated carbon capture + hydrogen + fuel production systems
EPC Energy: Engineering Solutions for DAC and Low-Carbon Systems
EPC Energy focuses on:
Direct air capture (DAC / CCUS)
Water electrolysis hydrogen production (PEM / AEM)
CO₂ electrochemical conversion
Power-to-X system integration
The company is committed to delivering: Scalable, reliable, and engineering-ready low-carbon solutions
Conclusion
The delivery of this DAC test bench represents more than equipment—it reflects engineering capability.
In low-carbon technologies:
Materials define potential
Engineering defines reality
EPC Energy will continue advancing DAC and hydrogen system engineering to enable the transition from CO₂ emissions to carbon utilization.
