Design of Carbon Capture Infrastructure

Design of Carbon Capture Infrastructure

Issued by Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

This course covers carbon capture process conceptualization & considerations for techno-economic objectives & constraints, process, mechanical, electrical & instrumentation design, & life cycle assessment. You’ll have access to an industry-experienced instructor as you work through this online course. This course has been designed to upskill engineering & design personnel to apply design principles and standards to designing post-combustion CO2 capture processes and processing units.

Skills

Earning Criteria

  • Describe the components, objectives, and constraints associated with liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline transportation and demonstrate an understanding of how to simulate and validate CO2 pipeline design.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of key considerations for designing a CO2 pipeline, including routing and factors impacting equipment and materials choice to achieve reliability, safety, and cost specifications.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the key considerations for mechanical design of CO2 pipelines.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of electrical and instrumentation design requirements for CO2 pipelines.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) for carbon pipeline and marine transportation and use outputs of LCA to inform and improve carbon transportation infrastructure design.
