Pall to Address a Key Decarbonization Challenge with Additively Manufactured Filtration
- New pilot program targets a flue-gas pre-treatment bottleneck that affects carbon capture reliability, cost, and scalability
- Supported by $1 million CAD in funding from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) and includes engineering-scale validation
PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pall Corporation, a Danaher company and advanced filtration leader, has been awarded $1 million CAD from the Government of Alberta through Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) to accelerate development of an additively manufactured flue-gas filtration solution designed to overcome pre-treatment bottlenecks and improve the reliability of carbon capture under real-world conditions. Addressing flue-gas pre-treatment challenges is critical to scaling carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), a key pathway to decarbonizing hard‑to‑abate sectors.
"Decarbonizing the world's most essential industries requires more than ambition—it requires technologies that perform reliably at scale under real‑world conditions," said Greg Sears, vice president and general manager of Pall's Energy+ business. "By addressing upstream constraints like flue‑gas pre‑treatment, we are helping enable more consistent, deployable carbon capture solutions."
Flue-gas pre‑treatment is a persistent bottleneck, as harsh operating conditions challenge conventional filtration systems and limit overall performance. In these environments, high particulate loading and variability can lead to equipment fouling, solvent degradation, aerosol emissions, and excessive water use, driving higher costs, reducing reliability, and slowing broader CCUS adoption.
Through an engineering‑scale pilot at a cement plant in Alberta, Canada, Pall will combine patented large confined jet pulse (LCJP) technology with 3D‑printed metal filter media in a compact, modular, regenerable design to validate system performance and generate data to support scale‑up across carbon capture applications. Unlike conventional filtration, additive manufacturing enables precise control of pore structure and flow paths—improving particle removal while maintaining low pressure drop in demanding flue gas conditions.
"With the right expertise, infrastructure and regulatory environment, Alberta continues to be a natural choice for companies developing and scaling innovative technologies," said Grant Hunter, Minister of Alberta Environment and Protected Areas. "By proving new technology at a cement plant here at home, this project is helping make carbon capture even better while supporting jobs in Alberta and delivering emissions‑reduction solutions the world can use."
"Emissions Reduction Alberta's support helps accelerate commercialization and strengthens collaboration across the CCUS ecosystem," said Srinivas Garimella, Senior Director, Additive Manufacturing, Pall Corporation. "Additive manufacturing gives us the design freedom to tune structure and robustness together so the media can hold up in harsh flue gas while staying cleanable and efficient. That combination is critical for stable performance at scale."
By advancing a manufacturable, high‑performance filtration solution for demanding flue gas conditions, Pall is enabling more reliable, industrial-scale deployment of carbon capture.
