17. Compression & Liquefaction: Process OverviewEfficiently compress or liquify CO2 to the ideal, stable state for transport.CO2 moves through a series of compressors, or compressor train, to increase pressure. Intercoolers lower the CO2 temperature prior to the next stage of compression and to condense out the water or other contaminants. Fluid exits compression clean of contaminants, including water, and in the proper state for transport.Liquefaction Process
