In the last years geothermal power has become a reliable and significant energy source. Because service conditions in geothermal facilities from deeply located aquifers are critical in terms of corrosion, materials selection is a very important issue. Preliminary evaluation of the materials suitability represents therefore a valuable strategy to ensure a secure and reliable operation of the facilities. In geothermal applications, the use of high-alloyed materials such as superaustenitic stainless steels, and nickel-based alloys has been considered as a good alternative because of their remarkable corrosion resistance and appropriate mechanical properties. Nevertheless, the corrosion behavior of those metallic materials in geothermal fluids at service conditions has not been determined in many cases. In this work, laboratory tests including electrochemical investigations and exposure tests at 100 °C and 150 °C (1,500 kPa) showed the limits of suitability concerning localized corrosion of three different, corrosion-resistant alloys in the highly saline fluid of the North German Basin.
Für den sicheren und zuverlässigen Betrieb von Geothermieanlagen ist, aufgrund der extremen Betriebsbedingungen, die Werkstoffauswahl für bohr- und verfahrenstechnische Einrichtungen entscheidend. Es werden die im Rahmen der Werkstoffqualifizierung für zwei hochlegierte Stähle durch elektrochemische Untersuchungen und klassische Auslagerungsversuche ermittelten Einsatzgrenzen im Bereich geothermischer Tiefenbohrungen für die Förderung des hochsalinen Aquiferfluids von Groß Schönbeck dargestellt.
Aufgrund der extremen Betriebsbedingungen in Geothermieanlagen des Norddeutschen Beckens ist die Werkstoffauswahl für ober- und untertägige Komponenten entscheidend für einen sicheren und zuverlässigen Betrieb. Im Rahmen der Werkstoffqualifizierung wurden mittels klassischer Auslagerung und elektrochemischen Untersuchungen an zwei hochlegierten Stählen deren Einsatzgrenzen für die Förderung von hochsalinarem Aquiferfluid der geothermischen Tiefbohrung in Groß Schönebeck ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse und daraus resultierende Schlussfolgerungen werden hier vorgestellt.
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.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete exposed to chloride containing environments is a serious problem in civil engineering practice. Electrochemical methods, e.g., potential mapping, provide information whether the steel reinforcement is still passive or depassivation has been initiated. By applying such techniques no information on the type of corrosion, its extent and distribution of corrosion products is available. Particular the corrosion progress is a significant problem. Especially in the case of macrocell corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, the development at the anode cannot be separated into corrosion damage resulting from macrocell corrosion or self-corrosion. Until now also in laboratory tests it is impossible to collect such information without destroying specimens after electrochemical testing was performed. To overcome this problem it was tried to study the steel surface within the mortar specimens by X-ray tomography (CT). Within the scope of these investigations it could be shown, that X-ray tomography is suitable to make corrosion pits and their development visible which are embedded in a mortar with a cover thickness of about 35 mm. In this publication the time-dependent corrosion damage of reinforced steel is documented by X-ray tomography.
Condensates from the gas stream in simulated CO2 transport pipelines have been identified during the experiments in the laboratory. Because of their acidic origin the corrosion resistance of pipeline steels used for CCS (carbon capture and storage) technology might be limited. Over the last years it has become clear that the amount of water and acid building constituents in the CO2 stream has to be controlled very well. In this work, condensates formed in experiments using gaseous CO2 containing high amounts of water, NO2 and SO2 were analyzed, replicated, and used for extensive electrochemical experiments. These highly acidic condensates were enriched with CO2 and then applied to characteristic steels planned to use in the CCS transport chain. Even high alloy steels are susceptible to localized corrosion under these conditions. The results implicate that condensation of aggressive acid droplets has to be avoided or the locations where condensation takes place have to be controlled extensively.
O monitoramento das estruturas de concreto possibilita que o risco de corrosão seja estimado ao longo dos anos de sua utilização. Com o conhecimento desse risco, intervenções de prevenção da corrosão ou de controle da corrosão já estabelecida podem ser programadas e realizadas em períodos adequados. Na prática, o risco de corrosão é avaliado por meio da verificação periódica do estado da armadura e das alterações nas propriedades do concreto. Isso pode ser feito por meio do embutimento no concreto de cobrimento de sensores de aquisição contínua de dados. Há diferentes tipos de sensores de aquisição contínua de dados. Um dos mais conhecidos é o sensor galvânico que consta de um conjunto de barras de aço-carbono, eletricamente isoladas. Com o embutimento do sensor, essas barras ficam posicionadas em diferentes e conhecidas profundidades do concreto de cobrimento da armadura. O risco de corrosão da armadura é monitorado com a periódica medição da corrente galvânica em cada uma das barras do sensor. Essa medição, dentre outras informações do sensor galvânico foram abordadas em artigo anterior. Além do sensor galvânico, destacam-se o sensor de umidade e o de taxa de corrosão, que monitoram parâmetros importantes relacionados ao estabelecimento e evolução de processo corrosivo das armaduras. A seguir esses sensores são apresentados, bem como o sensor de fibra óptica, o qual apresenta algumas vantagens em relação aos demais mencionados, embora ainda seja de uso restrito.
