Earthly Labs Carbon Capture & CO2 Recovery Systems

Identify the installed unit and the required component

Start with a photograph of the complete unit and a readable nameplate. Copy the model exactly, including letters, numbers and configuration suffixes. CiCi Elm is a family name, so the actual configuration and its regional documentation matter when selecting equipment or components.

If the component has its own label, photograph that label and show where the item sits in the assembly.

Attach the relevant parts list with the requested position marked. State the quantity, associated components and purpose of the repair. If the designation is unknown, provide views of the connections, existing dimensions and the installation drawing.

Site personnel responsible for safe maintenance should prepare the material. A component removed during scheduled work can be photographed separately.

Keep observations separate from assumptions. A controller message, a leak and reduced recovery output are different inputs to the enquiry. Describe when each appeared and what work has already been performed. We use the documents to clarify the requested scope and identify missing information.

The agreed designation is recorded in the specification so purchasing and engineering teams can work from the same component reference.

Drying, sorbent media and gas preparation

The CiCi process description separates moisture removal, scrubbing of volatile organic compounds and cooling for liquefaction. The Oak brochure identifies regenerative dryers and a sorbent bed.

These descriptions help locate the relevant process section, while the installed unit documentation identifies the actual replacement item.

For a service element, provide the housing label, the element reference in the parts list and the quantity required. Include photographs if the part has already been removed safely and attach the relevant maintenance manual page.

For media enquiries, quote the material designation in the operating documents and the requested packaging. Follow the maintenance and regeneration instructions for the specific configuration.

If feed composition is changing, describe the previous and proposed conditions separately. Available gas analyses should identify the sampling point and measurement conditions. Distinguish a consumable purchase from replacement of an assembly or modification of the process.

These are different scopes for engineering review. A suspected cause of reduced output should be documented as an observation rather than used to invent a part number or determine interchangeability.

Cooling equipment, storage and interfaces

The Oak literature describes the chiller as part of converting gaseous CO2 into liquid. The Dry Ice brochure separately shows a compressor with cooling and a refrigeration liquefaction unit. Identify which section the requested item belongs to.

External storage, vaporizers and connecting pipework should be identified by their own equipment references.

List the proposed scope: an individual valve, seal, sensor, assembly or complete system. For connections, provide the documented size and standard, photographs and any available drawing. Label site measurements as measured values.

For electrical items, include the existing reference, wiring diagram and utility rating of the installed configuration.

For replacement equipment, state whether existing connections and layout must be retained. Include an installation plan, access routes and photographs of the available space. This helps define the enquiry before agreeing the package.

Information from an adjacent installation should not replace the documents for the unit being considered. In a retrofit enquiry, identify retained equipment and replacement equipment separately, with an individual designation for each interface requiring coordination.

Foam traps, purity monitoring and software

The CiCi solution diagram includes Foam Trap and Smart Foam Trap, CO2 storage, a vaporizer and monitoring. The Oak brochure describes real-time gas purity sensing. Elm materials mention oxygen and moisture measurements, gas-flow automation and software that tracks captured CO2.

For a sensor enquiry, provide the label, measured variable, electrical drawing reference and process connection. Include a connector photograph and details of the existing transmitter. For a foam trap, supply the assembly designation, an overall view and the requested parts-list position.

The Smart Foam Trap name alone does not identify the repair components fitted to a particular installation.

For a software enquiry, describe the information required by the operator: recovery volume, alerts, report export or access to an existing dashboard. The manufacturer lists Tree Tracker and Howden Uptime for monitoring and reporting.

Keep a physical instrument purchase separate from a software function request. Include the displayed message and software version where available. Do not place passwords, access keys or employee personal information in the attachments sent with an equipment enquiry.

Define a CO2 recovery project

Describe the gas source first: fermentation, dry ice production or another industrial process. State the required recovery quantity and operating schedule. Average daily volume and peak hourly flow are different inputs; provide both with units where available.

If measurements have not been taken, describe the production data being used and identify it as preliminary.

Provide feed-gas composition and the intended use of recovered product separately. For beverage applications, attach the quality and monitoring requirements supplied by the process engineer.

The manufacturer describes beverage-grade capability, while each project still requires its feed conditions and agreed output specification to be considered. Existing storage, gas collection and return arrangements, electrical supplies and cooling utilities also form part of the enquiry.

Attach a layout showing heights and access routes. List the desired package boundaries, control requirements and purchasing documents. Explain whether the project is a new line, an extension or a replacement.

These inputs support configuration review and help distinguish the equipment package from site work. The customer technical team should compare the agreed configuration with its own operating conditions before making the final purchasing decision.
