TITLE:CCS CO2 - Aspects of CO2 that could cause or contribute to a major accident
SPEAKER:Hamish Holt, DNV GL
DURATION:1 hour (45 min + Q&A)
TIME:13.00 to 14.00 (GMT)
ABSTRACT:Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) requires very large quantities of impure CO2 to be captured, transported, and injected deep underground. The CO2 systems will likely have Major Accident Hazard (MAH) potential due to a combination of the mass of CO2 that could be released during an accidental leak and the impact if the released CO2 is inhaled above a concentration of around 5%.

Of particular concern are pipelines carrying liquid phase CO2 located onshore or near-shore as these pipelines will have a CO2 inventory of many tens of thousands of tonnes and if there was a loss of containment would threaten life for a considerable distance.

It is therefore vital that those responsible for implementing and regulating CCS are fully aware of the CO2's MAH potential so that CO2 systems are located, designed, operated and maintained to reduce the risks to people to an acceptably low level.

This presentation will raise awareness of the properties and behaviours of CCS CO2 and highlight how they could cause or contribute to a MAH event. It will draw on the considerable experience and knowledge gained through various CO2 joint industry projects (JIPs) that DNV GL have delivered to support the global roll out of CCS, JIPs such as CO2PIPETRANS and CO2RISKMAN.

The presentation will include information on:
  • CCS & CO2 basics;
  • Inhalation effects;
  • Integrity threats:
    • Material incompatibility;
    • Internal corrosion;
    • Low temperatures;
    • Solid CO2 formation;
    • Thermal expansion;
  • Mixture phase behaviour;
  • Propagating pipeline cracks;
  • Hydrate formation;
  • CO2 BLEVE;
  • Release modelling & topography effects;
  • MAH Regulatory oversight.

FABIG WEBINAR SERIES

We will be organising lunchtime webinars every two weeks whilst working life remains disrupted by measures to combat the COVID-19 epidemic. Such measures either prohibit or make inadvisable large meetings such as our Technical Meetings. We are still looking for presentations for our series of lunchtime Webinars and as such, please do not hesitate to contact us at fabig@steel-sci.com if you or one of your colleagues would like to give a presentation at one of the forthcoming FABIG Lunchtime Webinars.
