Abstract
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a key technology for reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, in which pipelines play a vital role in transporting CO2 captured from industrial emitters to geological storage sites. To aid efficient and safe operation of the CO2 transport infrastructure, robust, accurate and reliable solutions for monitoring of pipelines transporting industrial CO2 streams are urgently needed. This paper reviews the literature on monitoring objectives, optimization problems and mathematical algorithms developed for pipeline systems transporting water, oil and natural gas, and identifies the problems and methods relevant to monitoring of the future CO2 pipelines and pipeline networks for CCS. The impacts of physical properties of CO2 and complex designs and operation scenarios of CO2 transport on the pipeline monitoring systems design are discussed. It is shown that the most relevant to liquid and dense phase CO2 transport are the sensor placement optimization methods developed in the context of detecting leaks and flow anomalies for water distribution systems and pipelines transporting oil and petroleum liquids. The monitoring solutions relevant to flow assurance and monitoring impurities in CO2 pipelines are also identified. Optimizing the CO2 pipeline monitoring systems against several objectives, including the accuracy of measurements, the number and type of sensors, and the safety and environmental risks, is discussed.
