Critical Valve Requirements

Wet CO₂ (CO₂ + H₂O) forms carbonic acid — attacks carbon steel at ppm level; SS316L mandatory for any wet CO₂ stream
Sour CO₂ (CO₂ + H₂S) — NACE MR0175 compliance required if H₂S partial pressure exceeds 0.0003 MPa threshold
Supercritical CO₂ seal compatibility — standard NBR/EPDM can swell and extrude in supercritical CO₂; only EPDM or HNBR grades specifically rated for CO₂ service
ISO 15848-1 fugitive emissions Class B or better — CCS projects have regulatory pressure to demonstrate zero leakage
Amine service valves — methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and monoethanolamine (MEA) attack zinc and copper alloys; SS316L or WCB/SS316 trim only
Fire-safe API 607 for all CO₂ compressor and injection valve service — CO₂ does not burn, but co-firing with H₂S is a fire hazard in sour CCS

What certifications are required for carbon capture & storage (ccs) valves in Cork?
For carbon capture & storage (ccs) in Cork, the applicable standards are: NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 (sour CO₂), ASME B16.34, API 6D, API 607 (Fire-Safe), ISO 15848-1 (Fugitive Emissions), API 598, ISO 21013 (CO₂ Safety).

Express dispatch available for urgent site requirements. Contact us at +91-9979774557 or sales@vajravyuh.com with your specification and required delivery date.
Can carbon steel valves be used in CO₂ service?
Dry CO₂ (water content below 50 ppm) does not corrode carbon steel — dried CO₂ from industrial sources is used in carbon steel pipelines. However, wet CO₂ (water-saturated gas or any liquid CO₂ + water) forms carbonic acid (pH ≈ 3.7 at 1 bar CO₂ partial pressure), which corrodes carbon steel rapidly (>10 mm/year in worst cases). Therefore: dry CO₂ pipeline and injection service — carbon steel A216 WCB acceptable with SS316 trim. Wet CO₂ anywhere in the process — SS316L mandatory. When in doubt, specify SS316L — the cost premium is small versus the corrosion risk.
What is the difference between CCS and carbon capture for enhanced oil recovery (CO₂-EOR)?
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) injects CO₂ into saline aquifers or depleted reservoirs for permanent geological storage. CO₂-EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) injects CO₂ into producing oil reservoirs to mobilise residual oil — the CO₂ is partially recycled from produced gas. Valve specifications are similar: both require Class 900–2500 forged SS316L or Duplex 2205 for injection service. CO₂-EOR streams have higher impurity (H₂S, hydrocarbons) requiring NACE MR0175. Pure CCS streams from power plant flue gas typically contain only CO₂ + traces of SO₂ and NOₓ — simpler chemistry, SS316L usually sufficient.
