ABB have invested close to £1m with the Imperial College in London to support a Carbon Capture plant teaching facility located in Kensington

Further supplemented by a series of sponsorships for Imperial’s chemical engineering undergraduates, ABB said its investment and involvement in the project signalled its commitment to shaping the next generation of industrial engineers.

Using a combination of ABB’s instrumentation, drives, motors and process automation equipment, the control room provides students with hands-on experience of pilot-scale industrial plant operations and is the only facility of its kind in an academic institution in the world. The pilot plant will be used in undergraduate teaching with the aim of equipping students with the practical skills needed for a career in industry.

Everyone involved enjoyed the day and saw first hand the Carbon Capture Plant working.
