Steel Pipes for Hydrogen and Carbon Capture
FT Gas Control is positioned as a leading provider in the transition to a hydrogen-based energy system and carbon capture initiatives, offering advanced spirally welded steel pipes for these critical applications.
Product Specifications:
- Pipe Sizes: We offer steel pipes in sizes of 400mm and above.
- Pipe Jointing: The pipes are butt welded with bevelled pipe ends being welded by a special team to the relevant standards, ensuring high-quality joints.
- Coating: The pipes feature a three-layer polyethylene coating, which provides excellent protection against corrosion, enhancing the pipeline’s longevity and reliability, particularly in demanding environments.
- Pressure Rating: The pipes are designed to withstand pressures up to 80 bar, making them suitable for the high-pressure conditions required in hydrogen transportation and carbon capture applications.
Application for Hydrogen Transport:
- Hydrogen Compatibility: Recognising the challenges of hydrogen embrittlement and permeability, FT Gas’ pipes have been rigorously tested by an independent organisation. The successful results from these tests demonstrate that these pipes are well-suited for the transport of 100% gaseous hydrogen, even at pressures up to 80 bar.
- Track Record: The pipes have already been supplied and deployed in Europe, indicating their practical viability and acceptance in real-world applications. This underscores the reliability of FT Gas Control’s offerings for hydrogen transport.
Application for Carbon Capture:
- Carbon Capture Suitability: The pipes are also designed for carbon capture and transport, where the high-pressure rating and corrosion-resistant polyethylene coating are crucial in handling CO₂ streams, especially in the presence of moisture.
Decarbonisation Efforts:
- Leadership in Technology: FT Gas Control has been at the forefront of developing and providing technology suitable for hydrogen or hydrogen blends, evidenced by their involvement in pioneering projects such as powering a crematorium with hydrogen, and the production of the world’s first hydrogen-fired clay bricks. This showcases their commitment to decarbonisation and their capability to innovate in the energy sector.
- Partnership for Pipeline Manufacturing: FT Gas Control has strategically partnered with a pipeline manufacturing company with verified expertise in producing pipelines for hydrogen and carbon capture. This partnership ensures that their pipeline solutions are not only technologically advanced but also safe and reliable for these emerging applications.
Conclusion:
FT Gas Control is well-prepared to meet the challenges of hydrogen transport and carbon capture with our advanced spirally welded steel pipes. Our products, backed by extensive testing and a proven track record, are designed to support the decarbonisation efforts crucial for mitigating environmental impact and transitioning to cleaner energy sources.
