Pace CCS has signed a Joint Industry Project to gain a better understanding of corrosion in CCS projects.

Today, Pace CCS Ltd. have signed the Project Agreement to formally commence a Joint Industry Project funded by the Net Zero Technology Centre, Progressive Energy, Marubeni Itochu Steel, Vallourec, and Hydrafact.

The project aims to gain new knowledge and improve the prediction of corrosion in CCS networks, by improving understanding, reducing corrosion risk, and reducing the cost of CCS projects.

Polar impurities in CO2, even the parts per million (ppm) concentration range, can influence water solubility and induce a corrosive aqueous liquid at temperatures significantly higher than the pure water dewpoint. Methanol and TEG, commonly present in CCS networks, are two such impurities of interest. This risk has led to some CCS projects avoiding the use of TEG for dehydration altogether.

Pace CCS will deliver a laboratory testing programme and a web-based software app to allow CCS operators to review operating conditions across a full transport and storage network. The work includes improvement of existing thermodynamic modelling and development of an evolutionary algorithm to ensure the worst case for corrosion is always considered in design.

Paula Fry, a representative of Pace CCS, said: “We are delighted to be leading this vital work to improve the engineering understanding of CCS transport and storage networks. Working with our project partners, we will be able to advance our knowledge of corrosion risks and how to mitigate them, to reduce the cost of CCS projects.”

Pace CCS are the global leaders providing engineering design to CCS projects worldwide, with offices in London, Houston and Kuala Lumpur. Their partners include CCS project developers Progressive Energy, providers of steel and tubulars to the CCS industry Marubeni-Itochu and Vallourec, and laboratory testing specialists Hydrafact.
