NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / July 25, 2024 / With help from Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK), Italian drilling-rig specialist Drillmec is using data-driven and precision automation for maximum efficiency and minimum emissions.
Drillmec's innovative storage technologies make drilling entry points for new carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) facilities faster, easier, safer, and more cost effective. This initiative underpins Drillmec's drive to develop solutions that draw on its drilling and rig expertise to reduce emissions and achieve environmental goals.
CCUS initiatives involve trapping carbon at the point of emission - for example, in a factory - and then pumping it to a suitable underground storage facility where it is permanently stored, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere.
Drillmec's technology, relying on Rockwell's PowerFlex® AC drives, is able to be more precise and targeted when creating entry points for drilling. This extra efficiency helps to lower the barrier to entry for new CCUS facilities. This not only helps to lower costs it has the potential to significantly lower emissions related to a range of industrial and domestic uses. As well as providing technology, Rockwell has been working closely with Drillmec to optimize the drilling workflow for maximum efficiency and minimum emissions.
"We are excited to be bringing to market this new drilling technology, specifically designed to enable the development of carbon capture and storage sites," said Mohamed Housny, vice president of marketing at Drillmec. "Rockwell Automation technology and expertise has been central to achieving the intelligence, precision and control required for the new technology to be a success. We look forward to continuing to work with Rockwell Automation on this and future projects."
