Nachdem im Verbundprojekt COORAL das Hauptaugenmerk auf überkritisches CO2 gelegt wurde, d. h. Transport über kurze Strecken bei erhöhter Temperatur, wurde in CLUSTER ein größeres lokales Transport-Netzwerk betrachtet, bei dem CO2 bei geringeren Temperaturen, also vorwiegend im flüssigen Zustand transportiert wird. Wurden in COORAL die CO2-Ströme von Kohlekraftwerken untersucht, ging es in CLUSTER zusätzlich um die Emissionen von relevanten Industrien, deren CO2-Emissionen nicht ohne Weiteres vermieden werden können.
Aufgrund der Erfahrungen in COORAL konnte eine Auswahl von kommerziellen Werkstoffen getroffen werden, die für einen konkreten Einsatz für CCS zur Verfügung stünden. Die gemischten und fluktuierenden CO2-Zusammensetzungen sind bei geeigneten Begrenzungen der Begleit¬stoffe im CO2 bezüglich Korrosionsvorgänge beherrschbar. Die Machbarkeit eines lokalen CCS-Clusters erscheint daher gegeben, soweit dies die Anlagen für Kompression, Transport und Injektion betrifft.
Im ISO/TC 265 werden Normen zur Entwicklung, Konstruktion, Betrieb, Umweltplanung und -Management, Risikomanagement, Quantifizierung, Monitoring und Verifizierung sowie weitere Aktivitäten für die einzelnen Stufen der CCS-Prozesskette erstellt.
Als neuer Aspekt wurde die Zusammensetzung des CO2-Stroms angesprochen. In Form eines "State-of-the-Art-Reports" soll der derzeitige Kenntnisstand zusammengestellt werden. Dieses soll für einen späteren Normenentwurf als Grundlage dienen.
Properties of pipe steels for CCS (carbon capture and storage) technology require resistance against the corrosive environment of a potential CCS-site (heat, pressure, salinity of the aquifer, CO2-partial pressure). The influence of austenitzing in heat treatment routines of two different injection pipe Steels (1.4034, X46Cr13 and 1.4021, X20Cr13) was evaluated. Steel coupons were austenitized at different temperatures (900- 1050 °C) for different lengths of time (30-90 min) before quenching and annealing prior to long term corrosion experiments (60°C, 100 bar, artificial brine close to a CCS-site in the Northern German Basin, Germany). In general, fewer pits are found on X46Cr13. Comparing steels with 13% chromium each the higher carbon content of X46Cr13 (0.46% C) results in a lower number of pits compared to X20Cr13 (0.20% C). It is found that neither the carbon content of the steels nor austenitizing temperature has much influence, but local corrosion behaviour is most susceptible towards austenitzing time.

During the compression emission gasses in deep geological layers (Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS) CO2-corrosion will become a relevant safety issue. The reliability of the steels used at the geological onshore CCS-site at Ketzin, Germany, (heat treated steel 42CrMo4 (1.7225, AISI 4140) used for casing, and the martensitic stainless injection pipe steels X46Cr13 (1.4034, AISI 420 C), X20Cr13 (1.4021, AISI 420 J), X35CrMo17 (1.4122)) is demonstrated in 1 and 2 years laboratory experiments. Samples were kept in a synthetic aquifer environment similar to the geological CCS-site at Ketzin, Germany at T=60 °C. This corrosive environment is then saturated with technical CO2 at a flow rate of 3 l/h. Microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray, after a series of heat treatments (700 h to 2 years). Due to very slow mass loss at extended exposure times to CCS-environment one year is sufficient to predict stable surface corrosion rates from laboratory experiments. The non-linear isothermal surface corrosion behaviour of the steels reveals surface corrosion rates around 0.1 to 0.8 mm/year, when obtained by mass gain. The loss of the base material is higher when calculated from the corrosion layer magnitude due to the unpredictable local corrosion attacks. Severe pit corrosion (pit heights ca. 4.5 mm) are only located on the high chromium steels. Main phases of the continuous scales are siderite FeCO3 and goethite α-FeOOH. The formation of the non-protective layer is likely to form via a transient Fe(OH)2-phase.
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.
Combining CO2 Streams from Different Emitters – A Challenge For Transport And Storage Infrastructure
(2015)
The European Directive 2009/31/EC on the geological storage of CO2 envisages an open access of CO2 streams from different emitters to a nation- or even EUwide CO2 pipeline network if CO2 stream compositions meet “reasonable minimum composition thresholds”. As of today it is not known how such “composition thresholds” may be defined and which impurity levels may be viable in practical application.
To set up recommendations for criteria and respective threshold values for CO2 stream compositions, the project “CLUSTER” will investigate how a dynamic interplay – both in terms of mass fluxes and compositions – of CO2 streams from regionally clustered CO2 sources sharing a transport and storage infrastructure will impact corrosion, e.g., of pipelines and plant components, and geochemical alteration of cap rocks and reservoir rocks. In addition, the behaviour of such a highly dynamic CCS system will be considered for an overall optimization of system design including CO2 stream mixing schemes and facilities or interim CO2 storage.
In geothermal power plants materials e.g. pumps are exposed to extremely corrosive thermal water. This results in corrosion fatigue and so inevitably the reduction of the lifetime of these components. Also in the field of the carbon dioxide storage technology (carbon capture and storage CCS) components are exposed to a corrosive environment and mechanical stress. In order to gain knowledge upon the corrosion fatigue strength of materials a corrosion chamber for "in situ" conditions was designed and successfully applied.Two different steels X46Cr13 and X5CrNiCuNb16-4 have been tested and their corrosion fatigue behavior was compared. To simulate the frequency of operating pumps (30 – 40 Hz) a resonant testing machine was used. In addition technical CO2 was introduced into the closed system at a rate close to 9 L/h to keep stable environmental conditions. The samples have a surface roughness of Rz = 4 to simulate technical machined surfaces. The calculated tensile strength of X46Cr13 with soft annealed microstructure (coagulated cementite in ferrite-perlite matrix) is about 680 MPa and the yield strength is about 345 MPa. The tensile strength of X5CrNiCuNb16-4 is about 1078 MPa and the yield strength about 928 MPa. Testing parameters are: corrosion media: saline aquifer water (Stuttgart Aquifer) temperature of the brine at 60 °C and load ratio of R=-1. For X46Cr13 a stress amplitude between 160 MPa to 270 MPa and for X5CrNiCuNb16-4 a stress amplitude between 150 to 500 was chosen. Cycles until crack initiation differ strongly and were found to start at 5 x 104 up to 12.5 x 106 cycles.X46Cr13 has reached a maximum number of cycles (12.5 x 106) at a stress amplitude of 173 MPa. X5CrNiCuNb16-4 has reached the maximum number of cycles (10 x 106) at a stress amplitude of 150 MPa. The range of scatter for X5CrNiCuNb16-4 is very high (1:34) in comparison the range of scatter for X46Cr13 (1:3.5).
Static immersion tests of potential injection pipe steels 42CrMo4, X20Cr13, X46Cr13, X35CrMo4, and X5CrNiCuNb16-4 at T = 60 °C and ambient pressure, as well as p = 100 bar were performed for 700–8000 h in a CO2-saturated synthetic aquifer environment similar to CCS sites in the Northern German Basin (NGB). Corrosion rates at 100 bar are generally lower than at ambient pressure. The main corrosion products are FeCO3 and FeOOH with surface and local corrosion phenomena directly related to the alloy composition and microstructure. The appropriate heat treatment enhances corrosion resistance. The lifetime reduction of X46Cr13, X5CrNiCuNb16-4, and duplex stainless steel X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 in a CCS environment is demonstrated in the in situ corrosion fatigue CF experiments (axial push-pull and rotation bending load, 60 °C, brine: Stuttgart Aquifer and NGB, flowing CO2: 30 L/h, +/− applied potential). Insulating the test setup is necessary to gain reliable data. S-N plots, micrographic-, phase-, fractographic-, and surface analysis prove that the life expectancy of X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 in the axial cyclic load to failure is clearly related to the surface finish, applied stress amplitude, and stress mode. The horizontal grain attack within corrosion pit cavities, multiple fatigue cracks, and preferable deterioration of austenitic phase mainly cause fatigue failure. The CF life range increases significantly when a protective potential is applied.

This contribution provides current findings regarding materials susceptibility for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) applications. Basing on results gathered in 2 German long-term projects (COORAL and CLUSTER) suitable materials are introduced as well as dominating impurities of the CO2-stream and corrosion mechanisms. Investigations cover the whole CCUS process chain and provide material recommendations for certain parts.

The geological storage of carbon dioxide (Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS) in depleted gas reservoirs or in saline aquifers is a widely discussed issue. Carbon dioxide may induce corrosion on the piping steels during compression, transportation and injection. Therefore,
selection of appropriate piping steels is a key factor in order to increase the safety and reliability of the CCS technology, and to keep the processes cost-effective.
The here described subproject of the COORAL project (German acronym for “C02 purity for capture and storage”) deals with the levels of impurities in the C02 stream that will be acceptable when using specific steels. Material exposure to carbon dioxide (C02) containing
specific amounts of water vapor, oxygen (02) sulfur dioxide (S02), nitrogen dioxide (N02), carbon monoxide (CO) can be a challenge to steels. Within this subproject 13 different Steels are tested for suitability as materials used for compression, transportation and injection Units within the CCS chain.
The process chain for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) includes tubing for injection of CO2 into saline aquifers. The compressed CO2 is likely to contain specific impurities; small concentrations of SO2 and NO2 in combination with oxygen and humidity are most harmful. In addition, CO2 saturated brine is supposed to rise in the well when the injection process is interrupted. The material selection has to ensure that neither CO2 nor brine or a combination of both will leak out of the inner tubing. In this comprehensive paper the investigated materials range from low-alloy steels and 13% Cr steels up to high-alloy materials. Electrochemical tests as well as long term exposure tests were performed in CO2, in brine and combination of both; pressure was up to 100 bar, temperature up to 60 °C. Whereas the CO2 stream itself can be handled using low alloy steels, combinations of CO2 and brine require more resistant materials to control the strong tendency to pitting corrosion. The corrosion behavior of heat-treated steels depends on factors such as microstructure and carbon content. For different sections of the injection tube, appropriate materials should be used to guarantee safety and consider cost effectiveness.
Steels used within the process chain of carbon capture and storage (CCS) are exposed to conditions that are currently not fully tested. In the present work a number of steels were selected as possible construction materials: Alloyed steels for application in the compression and injection sections and low alloyed carbon steels for use as pipelines. Exposure tests were conducted over 600 hours at ambient pressure in a continuous flow of a simulated gas stream consisting of carbon dioxide with low contents of the relevant flue gas components nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and water. Temperatures were adjusted to 5, 60 and 170 centigrade.
When emission gasses are compressed into deep geological layers (CCS) CO2-corrosion of injection pipe steels is a relevant safety issue. The reliability of the steels used at the geological onshore CCS-site at Ketzin, Germany, is demonstrated in 2 years laboratory experiments under an equivalent corrosive environment at ambient pressure (T=60 °C, aquifer water, CO2-flow rate of 3 l/h). Corrosion kinetics and microstructures were characterized using samples of the heat treated steel 42CrMo4 (casing), and samples of the martensitic stainless steel X46Cr13 (injection).
Commercially available carbon steels are suitable for compression and pipelines as long as moisture content and impurities are limited. (water 50 to 100 ppmv, SO2 and NO2 ca. 100 ppmv) Corrosion rates increase with increasing water content. (0.2 – 20 mm/a) Condensation of acids and therefore droplet formation is always possible, even at low water contents. A low SO2 content within the CO2-stream might be more important than a low water content. Cr13-steels showed a general susceptibility to shallow pitting and pitting. So, they seem to be not suitable for CCUS applications. Low alloyed steels showed better corrosion behavior (predictable uniform corrosion). For direct contact with saline aquifer fluids only high alloyed steels shall be used.
In corrosive environments such as CCS bore holes or geothermal power plants the materials loaded cyclically are also exposed constantly to the highly corrosive hot thermal water. The lifetime reduction of (X46Cr13, AISI 420C) is demonstrated in in-situ-laboratory experiments (T=60 °C, geothermal brine: Stuttgart Aquifer flow rate: 9 Nl/h, CO2). S-N plots, micrographic-, phase-, fractographic- and surface analysis were applied to obtain sustainable information on the corrosion fatigue behavior. Maximum number of cycles (here 12.5 x 106 cycles to failure) is reached at σa =173 MPa. No typical fatigue strength exists and passive corrosion fatigue is most likely failure cause.
X5CrNiCuNb16-4 has been proven to be sufficient resistant in corrosive environments, but shows rather unusual corrosion behaviour in CCS environment. Therefore a series of 30 specimens was tested at stress amplitudes between 150 MPa and 500 MPa (sinusoidal dynamic test loads, R=-1; resonant frequency ∼ 30 Hz). Due to the rather heterogeneous fine machined surfaces (Rz=4) the specimens are comparable with prefabricated parts. X5CrNiCuNb16-4 reached the maximum number of cycles (10 x 106) at a stress amplitude of 150 MPa and lies 60% below the stress amplitude measured in air. The scatter range TN = 1:34 is disproportionately large. Although the fracture surface exhibited the typical striations and corroded surface areas no significant differences were found. The hardness was found to be homogeneous in all specimens tested at 335 HV10. Non-metallic inclusions were found within the microstructure, but no correlation could be found between the inclusions and early rupture. Still specimens that showed inclusions at the fracture surface and its cross section endured lower number of cycles. Additionally Aluminium was analysed in specimens with low number of cycles and may be cause for early rupture during corrosion fatigue tests. These findings reveal a very high sensitivity on a homogeneous microstructure upon the corrosion and corrosion fatigue behaviour of X5CrNiCuNb16-4 and needs to be taken into account when regarding this steel as pipe steel during injection of CO2 into saline aquifers.
