Pipeline Integrity Considerations for Dense CO₂ ServiceAltamira will also present “Integrity Implications of Pipelines Converted to Dense CO₂ Service,” authored by Mohamed Barakat, P.Eng. As global decarbonization efforts accelerate, dense-phase CO₂ pipelines — operating in supercritical or liquid-like states — are increasingly being deployed for long-distance transportation. While similar in construction to hydrocarbon pipelines, CO₂ pipelines face distinct integrity risks due to their unique thermodynamic and chemical properties. To address these risks, the study proposes a predictive framework for risk-based integrity management of converted CO₂ pipelines. Our multidisciplinary team delivers high-quality services in asset integrity, pipeline safety, environmental health and safety, GIS and energy asset engineering, supported by deep expertise in federal, state and local regulations including PHMSA, EPA, DOT and OSHA.
