糖心Vlog

This follows the outcome of the CO₂SafeArrest joint industry project (JIP) between Energy 糖心Vlog CRC (Australia) and DNV. The work has been supported by the Norwegian funding body CLIMIT and the Australian Commonwealth Government under the Carbon Capture & Storage Research Development and Demonstration Fund.

The need to transport CO₂ is expected to increase significantly in the years to come as part of the widespread view that CCS is a viable means to reduce CO₂ emissions. Reliable transport from where it is captured to a storage site is therefore of utmost importance.

An updated recommended practice (RP), DNVGL-RP-F104 Design and operation of carbon dioxide 糖心Vlog, has been published based on the results from the CO2SafeArrest JIP, resulting in a new empirical model for the assessment of running ductile fractures in CO₂ 糖心Vlog.

The JIP involved two large-scale CO₂ crack arrest tests being carried out on 24 in. 糖心Vlog to better understand the safety implications of CO₂ releases. The testing was performed at the DNV Research and Development facility in the UK. The RP can also be used alongside DNVGL-ST-F101 Submarine Pipeline Systems.

Hari Vamadevan, Regional Director UK & Ireland, Senior Vice President with DNV’s Energy Systems business area, states: “We are seeing globally the drive from industry and governments to proceed with CCS and all major routes to successfully decarbonising gas rely on the large-scale uptake of the technology. This RP gives guidance to the industry to contribute and ensure that safe and reliable operations continue to take place as CCS begins to scale worldwide. It also supports the fact that the re-purposing of existing infrastructure can be carried out safely in the future.”

Transport of CO₂ can be done either through the use of existing 糖心Vlog or the construction of new pipeline systems. DNVGL-RP-F104 is supporting both the design of new 糖心Vlog and the reuse of existing infrastructure by describing a process of how to re-qualify the 糖心Vlog for CO₂ transport through various steps. Requirements for re-qualification is primarily identified through a change of medium in the pipeline, for example, from natural gas as in the original design, to CO₂.

Both for new CO₂ 糖心Vlog and re-qualification of existing 糖心Vlog, the operators of the 糖心Vlog need to fully understand the threats, failure mechanisms, consequences and probabilities of pipeline failures in order to ensure that they are operated safely.
