b'Partner News Summer 2023 19EnterprisePipelines will play a vital role in the future of carbon capture and storage, but with thatcomes a responsibility to CO2 pipelines can be large, complex andSimilar to Atmos Pipe, Atmos SIM Leak many CCS projects capture and transportDetection uses a sequential probability ratioensure there is effectiveCO2 from an onshore location to an offshoretest (SPRT) which calculates the ratio of leakleak detection.subsea location for permanent storage.probability over no-leak probability to be For this reason, its important for a leaktested against threshold values which can detection system operating on a CCSprovide leak warnings and alarms.pipeline to consider specific sensitivity requirements. On a CCS pipeline requiring high sensitivity and reliable alarms, Atmos SIM can monitor In the case of CO2 being transported fromthe discrepancies between measured and onshore to an offshore location, Atmoscalculated pressures and flows. The SPRT Pipe can be finely tuned to consider bothprocesses these discrepancies to generate the hydraulic profile of the pipeline and thereliable leak alarms.seawater outside the pipeline.The future of carbon capture and storage Reducing the impacts of a leak or rupturedepends on pipeline leak detectionis crucial when it comes to a CCS pipelineWith CCS becoming increasingly important because the effects can be catastrophic,in meeting Net Zero targets and the both to people and the environment.decarbonization of the energy industry, the need for pipelines to support CCS projects Combining both a volume balance andis inevitable. Safe operations can only be negative pressure wave algorithm, Atmosguaranteed in CCS projects when CO2 Wave Flow uses a multi-element model topipeline leak detection is implemented.ensure a short detection time as well asTechnologies like Atmos Pipe, Atmos Wave accurate leak location, high sensitivity andFlow and Atmos SIM Leak Detection can low false alarms. support pipeline operators to mitigate the risks of a leak or rupture by accurately Atmos Simulation (SIM) Leak Detection detecting and locating leaks in a CCS Atmos SIMs leak detection modulepipeline as quickly as possible.continuously calculates volume balance by measuring the total flow into the systemTo learn more about how weminus the total flow out of the system,support the continuously expandingcorrected by the inventory changesgas industry, visit our website -calculated by Atmos SIM. https://www.atmosi.com/en/'
