Engineering and Manufacturing of
the Grimaldi Spraycube System Concludes
August 29, 2024
The production of the innovative Grimaldi Spraycube CO2 capturing system is nearing completion. Designed as a mobile CO2 capture facility, the Grimaldi Spraycube is intended for research and technology evaluation of the cutting-edge micro droplet scrubbing technology developed by Grimaldi Development (G Dev). This advanced system has been meticulously manufactured in Riga, Latvia, by DAARD Technologies.
The project represents a significant collaboration between Tekniska verken, G Dev, and KTH, with the crucial support of the Swedish Energy Agency. With the engineering phase now concluding, the Spraycube is poised to begin an exciting series of tests on flue gases at Tekniska verken in Linköping, offering promising advancements in CO2 capture and accelerating efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
More about the project
Carbon Capture
Combining our unique Micro Droplet Scrubbing with our Centrifugal Separation Technology, we are developing and testing the next generation of compact, modular and cost–efficient carbon capture technologies.
We aim to accelerate the much–needed deployment of carbon capture to mitigate the impact of climate change.
Compact, Modular &
Cost efficient Carbon Capture
The G Dev solution is a highly efficient carbon capture system.
It slots into the gas stream from industrial processes. The technology is scalable and adaptable to meet the unique requirements of each customer. All elements are reused back into the system. The only output being clean air and carbon liquid or solids, facilitating both CCS & CCU. These materials can be utilized as raw ingredients for biofuels, cements, or other construction products, among other possibilities.
System Benefits
- Small footprint
- Not site specific
- Compact & cost efficient equipment
- Adaptable to site & customer use/needs
- Prefabricated & modular – easy to install
- Retrofits into existing systems
- CCS at lowest cost
Operation Benefits
- Up to 25% more energy efficient
- Easy on/off. Short power-up time
- Flexible use of excess residual heat
- Capture amount can be varied quickly
- Efficient use of chemicals
- Flexible: can use a variety of solvents
- Constant uptime & easy maintenance due to system modularity
Life Sciences
We are actively developing a device to reduce blood culture testing time in life sciences labs. Our process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly separate bacteria in blood samples which successfully increases bacteria concentration at the point of extraction, allowing for rapid detection of bacteria from blood for sepsis diagnostics.
Automotive
Founded in 2020, G Dev’s subsidiary Rotera Automotive develops and sells active crankcase ventilation systems and solutions for separating liquid and solid particles from aerosols for the automotive industry.
G Dev Labs
From initial concept to complete solutions, our two Swedish R&D facilities in Nacka Strand and Illertissen can develop, design, and build prototypes using the latest technological advancements in disc stack and centrifugal separation.
Our laboratories are equipped with advanced measurement, testing and simulation instruments to bring our innovative technologies to life.
Our Milestones
3nine is founded by 5 engineers
together with Salvatore Grimaldi.
3nine’s first products are
introduced to the market.
New business areas are formed: Shipping, Life Science, and Automotive.
A new collaboration with a Global shipping company is established to develop a compact scrubber solution for one of their vessels.
3nine Industries is formed.
3nine, in collaboration with KTH, secures funding from the Swedish Energy Agency for the development of future CO2 capture solutions, “Innovative and energy-efficient bio-carbon dioxide capture from combustion gases”. The solution is based on a similar concept developed for a global shipping company.
3nine Industries AB is sold to Alder Investment Fund 2.
3nine AB changes its name to Grimaldi Development AB.
Funding secured by Grimaldi Development, together with KTH and Tekniska verken in Linköping AB, for a research module and scale-up, “A mobile research facility for the separation of carbon dioxide from flue gases at power plants.”
Installation of the research module
for purifying up to 200 m³ of gas
per hour at Tekniska verken.
