Materials testing under mechanical stress, pressure and turbulent flow of impure supercritical CO2
(2013)
The climate change necessitates measures to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere, one of which is carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). Transmission of pressurized liquid or supercritical CO2 containing residual flue gas constituents in pipelines is an important component of CCS systems. Material testing under conditions as close as possible to real conditions is a prerequisite for reliable and safe implementation of CCS. A novel pipeline corrosion test facility was developed, accounting for major mechanical, physical and chemical influencing factors: elastic deformation, pressure, temperature, gas composition and flow velocity can be independently adjusted. Radial and tangential stress distributions on a round sample were experimentally investigated, indicating a good accordance with expected theoretical values. In this contribution the idea of the novel corrosion test facility and the assembled equipment as well as first results are presented and discussed.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Die Klimaveränderung macht Maßnahmen zur Reduktion von Kohlendioxidemission (CO2) in die Atmosphäre erforderlich, Rückhalt und Speicherung in tiefen geologischen Formationen (carbon capture and storage (CCS)) stellt eine davon dar. Der Transport von verflüssigtem oder superkritischem CO2 mit Verunreinigungen in Pipelines stellt einen wichtigen Teil von CCS-Systemen dar. Die Materialprüfung unter möglichst realitätsnahen Bedingungen ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung für die Einrichtung zuverlässiger und sicherer CCS-Systeme. Hierzu wurde eine neue Versuchseinrichtung zur Korrosionsprüfung von Pipelinewerkstoffen entwickelt, die folgende wesentliche physikalische und chemische Einflussgrößen berücksichtigt: Elastische Verformung, Druck, Temperatur, Gaszusammensetzung, und Fließgeschwindigkeit können unabhängig voneinander eingestellt werden. Die Verteilung der Radial- und Tangentialspannungen wurden in einer Rundprobe untersucht, und die Ergebnisse zeigten gute Übereinstimmungen mit den theoretisch zu erwartenden Werten. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Idee zu der neuen Korrosionsprüfeinrichtung und erste Ergebnisse vorgestellt sowie diskutiert.
Transmission of captured CO2 in pipelines is an essential part of the carbon capture and sequestration process chain. Dependent of the fuel, the combustion process and the capture technology the resulting gas contains impurities that might cause corrosion effects in pipelines constructed of low alloyed steels. Corrosion testing under simulated conditions therefore is a prerequisite for the installation of reliable and safe CCS systems. Sulfur and nitrogen oxides together with water vapor form corrosive acids. Their behaviours and corrosive effects in static pressurized experiments were critically investigated in the present study. The results indicate that experimental limitations might influence the predictive capability of corrosion tests with sulfur dioxide. The limited supply of corrosive constituents in static test might lead to an underestimation of the corrosion risk.
Basic research on the corrosive effect of flue gases has been performed at the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (Germany). Conditions at both high and low temperatures were simulated in specially designed experiments. Carburization occured in flue gases with high CO2 content and temperatures higher than 500 °C. In SO2 containing flue gases sulphur was detected in the oxide scale. At lower temperatures no corrosion was observed when gases with low humidity were investigated. Humidity higher than 1500 ppm was corrosive and all steels with Cr contents lower than 12% revealed corroded surfaces. At low temperatures below 10 °C a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acid condensed on metal surfaces. Acid condensation caused severe corrosion. Humidity, CO2, O2, and SO2 contents are the important factors determining corrosion. Below 300 °C acid condensation is the primary reason for corrosion. Low humidity and low temperatures are conditions which can be expected in the CO2 separation and treatment process. This work includes major conditions of the flue gas and CO2 stream in CCS plants and CCS technology.
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.
