Overview

This webinar will review and discuss all hypothetical and real world CCS corrosion modes.

This webinar includes:

• Corrosion due to strong acids, sulfuric acid and nitric acid
  • Potentially reactive species that can lead to creation of strong acids: SOx, NOx, H2S, COS, CS2, CO, O2 and others
  • Carbon steel and CRA vulnerability to strong acids
• Corrosion due to free water
  • Chemical reactions that can increase water content in a CCS network
  • Risks during commissioning and other operating modes
• Corrosion due to induced aqueous phases
  • Corrosive aqueous phases induced by TEG, MEG, methanol, ethanol and propanol
  • Corrosion risk in dense phase pipelines
• Erosion due to solids
  • Chemical reactions that can crease solids in a CCS network

Real world examples of corrosion and corrosion risk:

• As experienced on the Gorgon CCS project
• As experienced in Decatur, Illinois
• Chemical reactions and strong acids as demonstrated in laboratory conditions
• Corrosion risk as identified during design of CCS networks

Design solutions and mitigations:

• Setting a CO2 quality specification
• Limits of existing models
