Description

Piping, Valves, and Process Engineering in Carbon Capture Systems: Applications, Sustainability, and Environmental Protection is a specialized scientific reference that addresses the critical role of piping and valves within CCS infrastructure. As global decarbonization efforts intensify, the need for advanced, reliable, and environmentally- sustainable piping and valve systems becomes paramount. This book explores the unique challenges faced in designing, selecting materials, and operating piping and valves in high-pressure, corrosive, and supercritical CO₂ environments, integrating recent technological advancements such as digital twins, smart monitoring, and innovative materials.

The book's comprehensive contents include chapters on fundamental principles, standards, material considerations, fabrication, failure modes, digitalization, lifecycle assessment, and integration with renewable energy sources. The scope extends to emerging topics like direct air capture (DAC), hybrid pipelines, and bio-inspired coatings, making it a vital resource for engineers, researchers, and practitioners involved in CCS and low-carbon energy projects. The book’s practical approach, supported by case studies and illustrations, ensures that professionals can apply the knowledge immediately to improve system safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
