In engineering storage sites for Carbon Sequestration the CO2-induced corrosion of injection pipe steels is a relevant safety issue when emission gasses are compressed in deep geological layers. The reliability of the steels suitable for the geological onshore CCS-site (Carbon Capture and Storage) at Ketzin, Germany, is demonstrated in laboratory experiments in equivalent corrosive environment (T = 60 °C, p = 160 bar, aquifer water, CO2-flow rate of 3 L/h, 7008000 h exposure time). Corrosion kinetics and microstructures were characterized using specimens of the heat treated steel 42CrMo4 (1.7225) used for casing, and specimens of the martensitic stainless injection-pipe steel X46Cr13 (1.4034).
With CO2 being one reason for climate change carbon capture and storage (CCS) is discussed to mitigate climate change. When emission gases are compressed into deep geological layers CO2-corrosion can easily cause failure of injection pipes. Different steels 42CrMo4, X46Cr13 and X20Cr13 were tested as well as X35CrMo17 and X5CrNiCuNb16-4 in a laboratory Environment similar to the conditions of the CCS engineering site at the Northern German Bassin. Samples were exposed to synthetic aquifer water saturated with technical CO2 at a flow rate of 3 NL/h.
Corrosion rates obtained via mass loss vary in a wide range (0,005 to 2.5 mm/year). The precipitations within the corrosion scale revealed a complicated multiphase layer containing siderite FeCO3, goethite α-FeOOH, lepidocrocite γ-FeOOH, mackinawite FeS and akaganeite Fe8O8(OH)8Cl1,34 and spinelphases of various compositions.
