Pipelines In The Energy Transition – Including Repurposing

JOIN OUR OFFSHORE ENERGY GROUP (TG4) WEBINAR

Registrants will be updated on the latest developments in the use of pipelines for hydrogen and carbon dioxide transport and distribution in the energy transition, with presentations from well-known speakers in this area.

Presentations will cover new design and build, testing of existing systems, plus repurposing of existing hydrocarbon pipelines and piping systems.

Who should attend?

All engineers, managers and others interested in the technical requirements for hydrogen and carbon dioxide pipelines in the energy transition.

Experts from industry and TWI will be presenting on a range of topics:

• Dr Jon Blackburn, Business Group Manager, Materials and Structural Integrity, TWI Ltd on TWI and the Energy Transition

• Prof. Gareth Hinds, NPL Fellow & Science Area Leader, National Physical Laboratory on Assessment of Resistance to Hydrogen Embrittlement of Pipeline Materials in Repurposed Hydrogen Gas Grids

• Dr Chas Spradbery, Operations Director, Peritus International on Design and Engineering of Subsea CO2 Pipelines

• EUR ING Neil Gallon MA CEng FIMMM, Principal Materials and Welding Engineer, ROSEN Group on Integrity Implications of Repurposing Pipelines to Hydrogen

• EUR ING DR Daniel Sandana, NACE SCT , Principal Engineer, ROSEN Group on Integrity Implications of Repurposing Pipelines to CO2

MEET OUR EXPERTS

DR JON BLACKBURN

Presentation title:  TWI and the Energy Transition

Jon leads TWI Ltd’s Materials and Structural Integrity Group – a team which supports industry to better understand how materials, welds, structures and assets perform in different and environments, and how to ensure their through-life integrity.

Jon's presentation will give a high level overview of the challenges TWI Ltd's members are facing and the capabilities being developed to address these.

PROFESSOR GARETH HINDS

Presentation title:  Assessment of Resistance to Hydrogen Embrittlement of Pipeline Materials in Repurposed Hydrogen Gas Grids

Gareth is NPL Fellow and Science Area Leader in the Electrochemistry Group at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, United Kingdom.

His primary expertise is in the development of novel in situ diagnostic techniques and standard test methods for assessment of corrosion and material degradation in energy applications.

Gareth is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and holds visiting academic positions at University College London, the University of Strathclyde and Harbin Institute of Technology.

He is the author of over 200 publications is currently serving as President of the World Corrosion Organisation.

DR CHAS SPRADBERY

Presentation title: Design and Engineering of Subsea CO2 Pipelines

Chas is Operations Director at Peritus International, a specialist subsea engineering consultancy. He has experience with a wide range of subsea cable and pipeline projects covering both offshore wind and oil and gas.

He has been involved in the design of some of the world’s deepest pipelines at over 3000m.

He holds a Ph.D in Materials Science and a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. He is a Fellow of the institute of Marine Engineers.

EUR ING NEIL GALLON MA CEng FIMMM

Presentation title: Integrity Implications of Repurposing Pipelines to Hydrogen

Neil Gallon is a Principal Materials and Welding Engineer with the ROSEN Group in Newcastle upon Tyne. He holds a degree in Materials Science and Metallurgy from the University of Cambridge and is a Eur. Ing., a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of IoM3 and a European/International Welding Engineer. He has performed, coordinated and assisted in multiple failure investigations over his 25 year career.

EUR ING DR DANIEL SANDANA, NACE SCT

Presentation title: Integrity Implications of Repurposing Pipelines to CO2

Daniel is a Principal Materials and Corrosion Engineer with the  ROSEN Group. He holds a MSC in Materials Science and Engineering from ESIREM in France, and a PhD in SCC of pipeline steels from Newcastle University in the UK.

He has over 15 years’ experience in Asset Integrity Management within the upstream and transmission markets worldwide. A large part of his experience resides in ensuring assurance of operational integrity of ageing process plants and pipelines, and providing Materials and Corrosion consultancy for front-end-engineering and design projects. He is a Subject Matter Expert in supporting pipeline operators addressing SCC and Crack Management strategies for the pipeline transmission infrastructures. He has managed Research, Development and testing (RD&T) programmes to support operational integrity of Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) systems.

Daniel’s current work focuses in supporting operators for the repurposing of pipelines to hydrogen, ammonia and CO2 service. He is actively developing repurposing strategies, processes and methods to address safe conversion. Defining overall risk-based repurposing approach, threat evaluation and material performance testing requirements.

Daniel is a EUR ING Engineer and Certified as NACE Senior Corrosion Technologist.
