ION Clean Energy (ION) and Koch Engineered Solutions (KES) announced an expansion of their collaborative efforts to advance affordable post-combustion carbon capture projects through technology-driven solutions.
The expanded collaboration integrates ION’s carbon capture technology with critical mass transfer process and separation equipment from Koch-Glitsch, a Koch Engineered Solutions business unit.
As part of this partnership, Koch-Glitsch will provide specialised equipment to optimise ION Clean Energy’s carbon capture process.
The aim is to improve performance and reduce costs and the physical footprint required for such projects.

Enhanced Efficiency and Accuracy
This agreement improves early-stage design and cost estimates, enhancing efficiency in making final investment decisions for customers.
Tim Vail, the CEO of ION said, “Building on the efforts of our founder and executive chairman Buz Brown, we take the expansion of our partnership with KES as a huge vote of confidence in ION’s technology and with our increased commercial activity, the marketplace clearly views it the same way.”
He added, “We’re excited about our continued commercial growth and grateful for KES’s support and desire to be part of ION’s future.”
The agreement allows ION and KES to utilize Kochsel fabrication and Specialty Plant Services (KSPS) for on-site vessel fabrication.
KSPS’s expertise in field fabrication anticipates mitigating project risks by improving cost efficiency, process reliability, and constructability.
The company’s experience instills confidence in project timelines and construction reviews for large-scale carbon capture projects requiring on-site vessel fabrication.
