Webinar: Assessment of Corrosion Potential of Impurities in a CO₂ Stream for CCS Applications

Webinar: Assessment of Corrosion Potential of Impurities in a CO₂ Stream for CCS Applications
  • Date From 15th July 2025
  • Date To 15th July 2025
  • Price Free of charge.
  • Location Online: 09:00 BST. Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes.

Overview

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

This Webinar includes:

  1. 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
  2. Corrosion due to free water
    - Chemical reactions that can increase water content in a CCS network
    - Risks during commissioning and other operating modes
  3. Corrosion due to induced aqueous phases
    - Corrosive aqueous phases induced by TEG, MEG, methanol, ethanol & propanol
    - Corrosion risk in dense phase pipelines
  4. 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
