T1 - Metallene Werkstoffe in Geothermieanlagen - nicht nur aus Sicht der Korrosion N2 - Um Konstrukteuren und Nutzern geothermischer Anlagen grundlegende Informationen über die Korrosionsbeständigkeit zur Verfügung zu stellen, wurden verschiedene metallene Werkstoffe, darunter nichtrostende Duplex- und austenitische Stähle sowie eine Nickellegierung, in künstlichen Geothermalwässern, die die Bedingungen an verschiedenen Standorten mit geothermischem Potenzial simulieren, mit Hilfe von elektrochemischen und Langzeittests hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung bewertet. In hochsalinaren Umgebungen erwies sich Spaltkorrosion als der entscheidende Mechanismus. Die Nickellegierung zeigt eine ausgezeichnete Beständigkeit gegenüber Lochkorrosion. Abgesehen von ihren hohen Kosten eignet sie sich sehr gut für den Bau von Geothermieanlagen mit stark salzhaltigen Fluiden. Rostfreie Stähle und Duplexstähle weisen eine begrenzte Korrosionsbeständigkeit gegen Loch- und Spaltkorrosion auf. Daher sind sie für stark salzhaltige Fluide nicht geeignet. Der Superaustenit zeigt ein temperaturabhängiges Verhalten. In nichtsalinaren Umgebungen könnten niedriglegierte Stähle (neben den höherlegierten Werkstoffen) als Konstruktionsmaterial für Geothermieanlagen eingesetzt werden, sofern eine ausreichende Wandstärke des Materials berücksichtigt wird. Neben Korrosionsaspekten erwies sich auch die Ausfällung von Fluidbestandteilen als interessantes Thema. Beim Betrieb der Forschungsanlage in Groß Schönebeck wurden Kupfer- und Bleieffekte im Bohrloch festgestellt. Die auftretenden Mechanismen und Maßnahmen zur Verhinderung von Ausfällungen und Abscheidungen wurden ebenso untersucht, wie deren mögliche Einflüsse auf die Korrosionsbeständigkeit metallener Werkstoffe für Anlagenkomponenten. Der Beitrag beschreibt die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Geothermalwässern und Ausrüstungskomponenten. T2 - 57.

T1 - Material qualification in Saline, copper containing geothermal water N2 - By exposure and electrochemical tests in the laboratory the Cu-effect on corrosion behavior of carbon steel, high-alloyed steels and Ti-alloy can be assessed. Critical materials specific properties were determined by static exposure and electrochemical tests in an artificial geothermal water with high salinity and low pH, containing Cu. Conclusions were drawn using characteristic potential values. It could be shown that significant Cu-deposition and -precipitation only occurred in combination with carbon steel. High-alloyed materials (S31603, S31653, S31700, S31703, S31803 and N08904) prevent the disturbing Cu-agglomeration. Therefore, they are suitable to be chosen for future design of the piping system, either in massive or in cladded form, if formation of crevices with non-metallic materials can be excluded. From the interactions and pitting corrosion point of view, R50400 seems to be most favorable.

Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage) gilt als eine vielversprechende Methode zur Abschwächung des Beitrags von fossilen Emissionen zur globalen Erwärmung. Dabei wird das in den Verbrennungsprozessen entstandene Treibhausgas aufgefangen, zu verschiedenen Lagerstätten transportiert und langzeitig gespeichert bzw. einer chemischen Nutzung zugeführt. In bisher veröffentlichten Untersuchungen wurde gezeigt, dass die CO2-Transport-Pipelines in hohem Maße gefährdet sind, wenn sie korrosiven Begleitstoffen des CO2-Stroms, wie SOx, NOx bei einem hohen Wasserdampfanteil ausgesetzt sind. Screening-Tests zeigten, dass bei einer Konzentration von 1000 ppmv H2O die Reaktionen und Kondensation von SO2 und NO2 mit O2 und H2O zu Säuretropfen (pH ~ 0,5) auf der Oberfläche von Metall-Prüfkörper und Gefäß führen. Die Werkstoffe 1.0582, 1.8977, 1.4313 und 1.4562 wurden in CO2-gesättigtem Kondensat mit unterschiedlichem Verhältnis der säurebildenden Komponenten untersucht. Diese Studien zeigten grundsätzlich den Mechanismus sowie die Rolle jedes CO2-Strom-Begleitstoffes auf den Korrosionsprozess. Allerdings spiegeln die bei Auslagerung und elektrochemischen Messungen in der künstlichen CO2-gesättigten Kondensat-Lösung auftretenden Bedingungen nicht im Detail die Realität in der Praxis, wo sich nur Tröpfchen bilden, wider. Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf den Korrosionsprozess von Kondensat in Form von Tröpfchen, auf der Oberfläche von Rohrleitungswerkstoffen unter CO2-Atmosphäre bei 5 °C (Simulation des Transportzustandes). Die Experimente wurden nicht nur für Auslagerungsversuche, sondern auch für elektrochemische Tests mit nur einem Tröpfchen (weniger als 20 µL) konzipiert. Die Auslagerungs-versuche wurden sowohl unter Normaldruck als auch bei hohem Druck (> 70 bar) durchgeführt, wobei das CO2 als dichte – den Tropfen umgebende - Phase vorliegt. Die korrodierten Prüfkörper wurden rasterelektronenmikroskopisch (REM) und mittels Energiedispersiver Röntgenspektroskopie (EDX) analysiert, um nicht nur Korrosionsform, sondern auch die Elementverteilung der Korrosionsprodukte zu zeigen.

Around 30 countries are working together to provide international guidelines. As ISO 27913 was the first standard finished within these activities it is already in the stage of first revision. The objective of ISO 27913 is “to provide specific requirements and recommendations on certain aspects of safe and reliable design, construction and operation of pipelines intended for the large-scale transportation of CO2 that are not already covered in existing pipeline standards such as ISO 13623, ASME B31.8, EN 1594, AS 2885 or other standards. Existing pipeline standards cover many of the issues related to the design and construction of CO2 pipelines; however, there are some CO2 specific issues that are not adequately covered in these standards. The purpose of this document is to cover these issues consistently. Hence, this document is not a standalone standard, but is written to be a supplement to other existing pipeline standards for natural gas or liquids for both onshore and offshore pipelines.” This contribution shall provide information on the content, the current stage of the revision process, encourage to contribute to this standard and make listeners aware to consider the influence of ISO standard on documents currently in draft.

Due to the moisture content being only 50 ppmV no visible acid condensation took place. To simulate stress conditions at the inside pipeline surface due to fluid pressure (10 MPa) specimens were preloaded using a load frame. Experiments conducted at 278 K and at 313 K revealed the highest corrosion rate at lower temperature. Corrosive effect of impurities was strongest applying mixed atmosphere, containing oxidizing and reductive components, closely followed by CO2 streams with pure oxidizing character. By far, the lowest corrosion rate (10x lower) resulted from reductive atmosphere. In general, at constant temperature and pressure the CO2 stream composition strongly influences the morphology, thickness and composition of the corrosion products. Applying oxidizing or mixed impurities, iron hydroxides or oxides (e.g. goethite, hematite) occur as dominating corrosion products, capable to incorporate different amounts of sulfur. In contrast, using reductive atmosphere very thin corrosion layers with low crystallinity were developed, and phase identification by XRD was unfeasible. SEM/EDX analysis revealed the formation of Fe-O compounds, most likely attributed to the oxygen partial pressure in the system induced by CO2 (≥0.985 volume fraction) and volatile H2O. In addition to the surface covering corrosion layer, secondary phases had grown locally distributed on top of the layer. These compounds are characteristic for the applied atmosphere and vary in number, shape and chemical composition.

Crucial points for a sustainable and future-proof CCUS procedure are reliability and cost efficiency of the pipeline transport network. Due to the absence of certified benchmarks for upper limits, systematic experiments with impurities in the CO2 stream were carried out. For oxidation processes SO2 and NO2 acted as corrosive components, and for reductive atmosphere H2S. Carbon steel L485MB (pipeline), martensitic steel 1.4313 (compression) and austenitic steel 1.4562 (injection) were selected as specimens. Experiments were performed at 0 bar or 100 bar and within a temperature range 278 K ≤ T ≤ 313 K. High-alloyed Cr-Ni steels revealed no corrosion (1.4562, 1.4313), while for carbon steel considerable corrosion was observed. The type and intensity of corrosion was strongly coupled with the applied corrosive species and the level of humidity in the CO2 stream, leading to different compositions of acidic condensates. Applying a reducing atmosphere results in very little corrosion rates, but provokes pitting corrosion. In contrast, oxidizing or mixed settings lead to a clearly increased growth of the corrosion layer, but exhibit shallow uniform corrosion. Exceptional nitric acid results in intergranular corrosion. Investigations on the specimens were carried out by optical microscopy, XRD, SEM/EDX, and AAS/IC.

T1 - Influence of Precipitating Brine Components on Materials Selection for Geothermal Applications N2 - Since geothermal wells are a feasible energy source to replace fossil fuel supply, many technologies have been developed to take advantage of geothermal energy. Nevertheless, service conditions in geothermal facilities are in many cases extreme in terms of corrosion due to the chemical composition of hydrothermal fluids and temperatures. Therefore, materials selection based on preliminary material qualification is essential to guarantee a secure and reliable operation of the facilities. During operation of a geothermal research facility in Groß Schönebeck copper and lead effects have been found downhole. Occurring mechanisms and measures to prevent precipitation or scaling needed to be investigated as well as potential influences of such precipitates on corrosion resistance of metallic materials used for equipment. This contribution deals with the evaluation of the corrosion behavior of carbon steel and corrosion resistant alloys in copper and/or lead containing artificial geothermal water, simulating the conditions in the Northern German Basin. The behavior of these materials in an artificial geothermal water obtained by electrochemical measurements and exposure tests are presented. While carbon steel exhibits precipitation and deposition, higher alloyed material shows different response to such species and a higher resistance in saline geothermal water. Basing on these results the suitability of the investigated corrosion resistant alloy is given for use in such conditions, whereas carbon steel creates difficulties due to its susceptibility to Cu- and Pb-precipitation.

T1 - Factors Influencing Droplet Corrosion in Dense Phase CO2 N2 - Recent studies have shown that even at a very low concentration of impurities (less than 100 ppmv of SO2, NO2, O2 and H2O) the droplet formation and condensation of sulfuric and nitric acids in dense phase CO2 are possible and observable. To reveal the mechanism of droplet corrosion in dense phase CO2 at high pressure and low temperature, further studies on factors that affect wettability and resulting corrosion behaviors of transport pipeline steels are needed. In this study, effects of surface morphology were investigated by varying surface roughness of carbon steel coupons exposed to CO2 stream containing impurities to measure the wettability by contact angle and to observe the condensation as well as possible droplet corrosion that followed. Other considered factors were: pH of the droplet, temperature, droplet volume, and exposure time.

The objective of this research was to determine the corrosion behaviour of commercial metallic tank materials (unalloyed steels, austenitic CrNi- and CrNiMo-steels, aluminium and its alloys) in fuels and heating oil with admixtures of biogenic sources, such as gasoline with addition of ethanol (E10, E85), pure biodiesel and heating oil with 10 % biodiesel (B10). Metallic tank materials were evaluated as resistant in a liquid if the annual corrosion rate due to uniform corrosion did not exceed 0.1 mm/year, and localized corrosion effects in the form of pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and crevice corrosion did not occur. The corrosion rates of the tank materials after exposure to E10, E85, non-aged and two-year aged pure biodiesel, and non-aged and one-year aged heating oil B10 for four weeks at 50 °C, according to DIN 50905/4, were well below the limit of 0.1 mm/year. For the unalloyed steels, the formation of rust was observed independently of the biofuels amount of ageing. U-bend specimens made of unalloyed steel were not damaged in form of stress corrosion cracking in all test fuels at this test temperature.
