Production of Pipeline Quality Natural Gas with the Molecular Gate® CO2 Removal Process
SPE EPA DOE Exploration and Production Environmental Conference, 2003Co-Authors: James Wills, Mark Shemaria, Michael J. MitaritenAbstract:In May 2002, the first Molecular Gate* Carbon Dioxide Removal system for the removal of carbon dioxide and water was started at the Tidelands Oil Production Co. facility in Long Beach, California. The feed source for the unit is hydrocarbon-rich, watersaturated, associated gas from waterflood enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) operations. The feed CO2 concentration varies widely and is typically more than 30%, while the unit reduces the carbon dioxide level to less than 2%. The unit removes the carbon dioxide, heavy hydrocarbons, and water-producing Pipeline Specification gas for sale to the local natural gas utility company.

Pipeline-quality natural gas after molecular-gate CO2 removal
2003Co-Authors: James Wills, Mark Shemaria, Michael J. MitaritenAbstract:The feed source of a proprietary molecular-gate CO 2 -removal system is a hydrocarbon-rich, water-saturated associated gas from waterflood operations. The feed CO 2 concentration varies and is typically more than 30%. The unit reduces the CO 2 level to less than 2%. The unit can remove the CO 2 , heavy hydrocarbons, and water, yielding Pipeline-Specification gas for sale to the local natural-gas utility company.

impact of impurities on Pipeline Specification and hydraulics
International Forum on Recent Developments of CCS Implementation, 2015Co-Authors: H Aghajani, J. M. Race, Ben Wetenhall, Hannah Chalmers, Mc Ferrari, Jia Li, P Singh, John Davison, J KemperAbstract:The purity of the CO2 stream emitted from carbon capture plants is extremely important for the design and operation of CO2 Pipelines, affecting, amongst other things, the hydraulic efficiency and potential operating range as well as having implications for the safety and integrity of the Pipeline system. However, to date, there is still uncertainty regarding the range of impurities that could enter the transport and storage systems for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) schemes. The main difficulty in being able to specify a CO2 Pipeline composition is that the type and levels of potential impurities in the CO2 stream will differ between power plants and industrial sources and also between the capture technologies installed at the sources. The problem is further compounded by the fact that, not only does each impurity cause different effects on the transportation system, these effects, for any individual component, can vary with conditions and can, for example, alter gaseous and dense phase Pipeline operation in different ways. Additionally, the mixtures of impurities in CO2 streams leaving different capture processes could vary substantially, leading to dramatically different effects on compression, transport and storage operations. This paper investigates the effects of impurities on Pipeline sizing for dense phase and gaseous phase Pipeline transportation using a series of twelve CO2 impurity scenario compositions. The scenarios have been selected as worst-case compositions that are representative of plausible CO2 streams from different capture technologies and industry sources. Two analyses are presented: i) an initial hydraulic analysis, conducted for a single point-to-point Pipeline transporting a fixed flow rate of CO2 in either the dense phase or gaseous phase and ii) a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the effects of inlet pressure, ambient temperature and mass flow rate and Pipeline size and identify an optimum Pipeline size to handle each scenario in a hydraulically efficient manner. The inlet and outlet temperature and pressure ranges for each Pipeline were selected based on a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the different streams, which is also discussed. As a result of the study, conclusions are drawn regarding the compositions that present the most challenge with respect to hydraulic efficiency and Pipeline costs. In addition, guidance is provided on the Specification of inlet conditions to improve the hydraulic performance of the Pipeline. This work forms part of a study supported by IEAGHG on the “Impact of CO2 Impurity on CO2 Compression, Liquefaction and Transportation”. The study was commissioned to identify potential impurities and address the consequences of their impact on CO2 transportation.

Towards a CO2 Pipeline Specification: defining tolerance limits for impurities
Journal of Pipeline Engineering, 2012Co-Authors: J. M. Race, B Wetenhall, P.n. Seevam, M. J. DownieAbstract:As more carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects are proposed, it is becoming clear that the Specification of the CO2 in the Pipeline is an under-researched area. Research has been conducted into the effect of the impurities on the different aspects of Pipeline hydraulic design, Pipeline integrity, and public safety; however, the inter-relationship of these differing, and sometimes competing, requirements has not been investigated in detail. This paper reviews the current Pipeline Specifications for CO2 Pipelines and then discusses the effects that different impurities have on key aspects of Pipeline design, operation, integrity, and health and safety and the requirements that need to be considered when specifying the maximum levels of these impurities for entry into the Pipeline system.
