Compatibility Of Steels At 450°-650°C In Supercritical CO2 With O2 And H2O Additions

Compatibility of Steels at 450°-650°C in Supercritical CO2 with O2 and H2O Additions

Using supercritical CO2 (sCO2) as a working fluid is being explored for a number of power generation technologies including fossil, nuclear, geothermal, concentrating solar power (CSP) and waste heat recovery1-7.  The various sCO2 cycles are attractive because of the low critical point (31°C/73.8 bar) and the reduced work of compression compared to an ideal gas.  While CO2 is sometimes described as inert, there is a long history of component degradation in subcritical and supercritical CO2 and a particular concern about internal carburization8-16.

Direct-fired supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power cycles are being commercialized to revolutionize the use of fossil fuels as a low-emission power source.  However, the cycle will increase O2 and H2O in the sCO2 and the implications of these additions have not been fully studied, particularly for lower cost steels that are needed in the lower temperature segments of the plant.  Representative 9 and 12%Cr ferriticmartensitic (FM) steels and conventional and advanced austenitic steels were evaluated at 450-650°C in sCO2 with 1%O2 and 0.1%H2O at 300 bar to determine their maximum use temperatures. Compared to research grade (low impurity) sCO2 in indirect-fired cycles, the mass gains and scale thickness were not significantly changed for FM steels: both formed thick duplex Fe-rich scales with and without impurities.  For austenitic steels, higher mass gains were observed at all temperatures with increased Fe-rich oxide nodule formation.  After 1000 h at 650°C, the measured bulk C content was high for all of the steels with the addition of impurities suggesting a lower maximum operating temperature for steels. The impact of the environment on the post-exposure room temperature tensile properties was also evaluated and compared to 1000 h Ar anneals.

UNS S209101, also known as XM-19 by ASTM A2762, is a nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Besides nitrogen (N) it also contains higher amounts of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), and a similar molybdenum (Mo) content compared with UNS S31603, as well as small additions of niobium (Nb) and vanadium (V). High contents of Cr, Mo and N confer this stainless steel high localized corrosion resistance. Mo, Mn and Cr increase the nitrogen solubility in iron alloys.

An emerging market driver in industrial water treatment is the move to more sustainable chemistries. Corporate sustainability goals are becoming more common and more stringent. Customers are turning to water treatment companies for innovative solutions that can satisfy their sustainability goals and not sacrifice performance or asset integrity. Indeed, a major trend in evaporative open cooling water treatment is to move away from heavy metals such as zinc and other environmentally questionable materials such as phosphates. Another area of cooling water that is in need of a sustainability refresh is closed cooling loops. The most widespread closed cooling treatment programs are based on combinations of nitrite, molybdate, and borate. All three of these chemicals have regulatory, discharge and/or SH&E concerns.

Different refiners have a variety of procedures in place for hydroprocessing reactor and reactor system shutdowns, depending on the scope of the work to be performed during the downtime. If activities are to be performed inside the reactor (e.g. inspection, maintenance, catalyst changeout, etc.) such that the reactor must be opened to air, shutdowns must include steps to address the various hazards. These same steps must also be applied to associated process equipment related to the reactor system susceptible to similar hazards and damage mechanisms.
