“…Nonetheless, the experience from natural gas and CO 2 pipeline transportation projects around the world provides basic data for large-scale CO 2 pipeline design, construction, operation, and decommission (Noothout et al, 2014). The difference between a CO 2 pipeline and a natural gas pipeline mainly stems from the difference between the properties of CO 2 and natural gas.…”

“…The two-phase flow can cause erosion by cavitation and turbulence by bubble pressure, as well as other problems such as low flow velocity and vibration. The majority of existing pipelines transport CO 2 in the supercritical or liquid phase (Noothout et al, 2014). The operation range of temperature and pressure is recommended to avoid phase transition in actual practice.…”

“…As regards supercritical CO 2 pipelines, a minimum operation pressure of 7.38 MPa and temperature of 31 • C are required (Knoope et al, 2013); however, the minimum operation pressure for a CO 2 pipeline project is often set at 9 MPa to maintain a critical pressure margin. Owing to the most relevant impurities in the CO 2 stream, such as H 2 O, N 2 , O 2 , H 2 S, CO, CH 4 , and H 2 , operating pressure and temperature should be adjusted to avoid the two-phase region and phase transition according to the phase diagram of the gas mixture (Mohitpour et al, 2012;Noothout et al, 2014).…”

“…Over 6500 km of CO 2 pipelines have been in operation for years for CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery (CO 2 -EOR) operations, mostly in the United States. Moreover, a number of CO 2 pipelines are used for CO 2 utilization or storage operations in Europe and the Americas (Noothout et al, 2014). These projects provide a basis for developing a CO 2 pipeline infrastructure (McCoy and Rubin, 2008;Noothout et al, 2014).…”

CO2 Pipeline Design: A Review

There is a need to accurately design pipelines to meet the expected increase in the construction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) pipelines after the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement. CO 2 pipelines are usually designed with the assumption of a pure CO 2 fluid, even though it usually contains impurities, which affect the critical pressure, critical temperature, phase behaviour, and pressure and temperature changes in the pipeline. The design of CO 2 pipelines and the calculation of process parameters and fluid properties is not quite accurate with the assumption of pure CO 2 fluids. This paper reviews the design of rich CO 2 pipelines including pipeline route selection, length and right of way, fluid flow rates and velocities, need for single point-to-point or trunk pipelines, pipeline operating pressures and temperatures, pipeline wall thickness, fluid stream composition, fluid phases, and pipeline diameter and pressure drop calculations. The performance of a hypothetical pipeline was simulated using gPROMS (ver. 4.2.0) and Aspen HYSYS (ver.10.1) and the results of both software were compared to validate equations. Pressure loss due to fluid acceleration was ignored in the development of the diameter/pressure drop equations. Work is ongoing to incorporate fluid acceleration effect and the effects of impurities to improve the current models.
