Using polymer pipelines safely and reliably in an energy transmission network requires a solid understanding of how the materials will be affected when exposed to CO2 at a range of different processing conditions. What happens when CO2 pressure, temperature, and mechanical loading – or all three – shift in the field? What kind of material degradation occurs under constant soaking conditions?
EWI Senior Technology Leader Jeff Ellis has written Polymers in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage to consider these questions. The paper examines known factors in CO2-polymer interaction, reviews the qualities of particular materials, and discusses testing polymers under extreme conditions to understand changes in high pressure CO2 environments.
