Impacts of impurities in CO2-fluids on CO2 transport process

• There are four possible transportation means that could be used to deliver CO2: motor carriers, railway carriers, water carriers, and pipeline. The impurities in CO2-fluids have significant impacts on the thermodynamic properties that will further affect the design, operation and cost of CO2 transport. This paper focuses on how impurities in CO 2-fluids affect thermodynamic properties, and how the changes of properties affect CO2 transport process. Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLB), critical point and densities are essential thermodynamic properties for designing a CO2 transport process. Studies on these properties will be carried out for CO2-mixtures based on the combinations of the common impurities such as SO2, H2S, CH4, Ar, O2 and N2. Moreover with a real case of pipeline for CO2 transport, the impact of impurities on transport process will be demonstrated in more details.
