Identification of the Safety and Integrity Challenges for Carbon Capture Systems Onboard Marine Vessels or Offshore Facilities
ABS and Texas A&M are working on safety and integrity for Carbon Capture Systems onboard marine vessels and offshore facilities. This work is clarifying the impact of CO2 on materials used in equipment, piping, storage, and valves. It includes a focus on the implications of impurities such as NOx, SOx, and H2S. The focus is on onboard storage and offloading implications and the safety implications and risks.
The work is led by Texas A&M Principal Investigators: Dr. Harini Gunda, Dr. Faisal Khan and Dr. Tanjin Amin and ABS Subject Matter Experts Quaim Choudhury and Altaf Shaik along with Texas A&M graduate student M. Elkady. The work is being conducted under a Texas A&M-ABS research agreement covering the Laboratory for Ocean Innovation.
