The dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in an aqueous phase can create an exceptionally corrosive environment. CO2 corrosion is one of the main sources of internal corrosion in the oil and gas industry but is also prevalent in geothermal systems and CO2 transport and injection infrastructure as part of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) processes. In iFS we have a range of facilities available to study CO2 corrosion over a range of environments, including static, turbulent, single-phase, multiphase (sand/oil), ambient pressure to high pressure (supercritical) and ambient temperature to high temperature (300oC). We also have the ability to conduct corrosion experiments in supercritical CO2 with trace amounts of natural and anthropogenic impurities (e.g. water, SOx, NOx, H2S and O2).
