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.
