CCS Inspection Services 2027 — Carbon Capture + Storage NDT Across the Full Value Chain

Atlantis NDT CCS inspection services cover the complete carbon-capture-and-storage value chain — from CO2 capture at the source (refining + petrochem + power + cement + steel + LNG flue), through dense-phase / super-critical CO2 transport pipelines, to injection-well integrity, to storage-formation monitoring. ASNT NDT Level III led, API 579 FFS practitioner authored, code-aligned across ASME + API + NACE + ISO + IACS framework.

CO2 Capture — Amine Absorber + Stripper Tower Corrosion

Amine-based CO2 capture units (post-combustion + pre-combustion) operate amine systems that develop characteristic damage patterns: amine corrosion + cracking per NACE MR0103 (wet H2S + amine service) + API 571 §4.5.4 (amine corrosion); ammonium bicarbonate corrosion on overhead systems; chloride stress corrosion of austenitic SS internals; preferential corrosion at hot lean / rich solvent interfaces; flange-gasket erosion. Atlantis NDT delivers full RBI per API 581 + FFS per API 579 + Atlantis Digital Twin overlay on the capture unit.

CO2 Transport — Dense-Phase + Super-Critical Pipeline Integrity

CO2 pipelines operate dense-phase (above ~73 bar) or super-critical (above 31°C + 73 bar) — material selection per ASME B31.4 + ISO 27913 + DNV-RP-F104 with added consideration for water + impurity tolerances. Damage mechanisms: brittle-fracture risk on rapid depressurisation (low-temp transition), running-ductile-fracture propagation control, sour-service compatibility if H2S/SOx impurities present (NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156), preferential corrosion at flow regime transitions. Atlantis delivers in-line inspection (ILI) data integration + smart-pig data analysis + RBI cycle update.

Injection Well — Class VI Integrity + Annular Monitoring

EPA Class VI (US) + EU CCS Directive + UK NSTA + Australia DCCEEW well-integrity rules: tubing + packer + casing + cement-sheath integrity verification via UT thickness logging, electromagnetic flux logging, ultrasonic cement-bond logging (UCBL), pressure-temperature-acoustic (PTA) logging, annular pressure monitoring. Atlantis NDT integrates well-log data + downhole inspection data into Atlantis Digital Twin well-integrity model — provides real-time risk visualisation for HSE leadership.

Storage Formation — Microseismic + Geomechanical + Caprock Integrity

Storage-formation monitoring: 3D + 4D seismic for plume tracking; downhole microseismic arrays for fault reactivation detection; surface deformation monitoring (InSAR satellite); caprock integrity via geomechanical model + downhole logging. Atlantis NDT partners with subsurface specialists to integrate inspection-grade NDE data on surface infrastructure with subsurface monitoring data — full HSE risk picture for site permits + Public Trust.

Material Selection for CO2 + Sour CO2 Service

Material selection per service: clean dry super-critical CO2 → carbon steel API 5L X65/X70 acceptable with strict water-content control; wet super-critical CO2 → 13Cr (S41000 / S41425) corrosion-resistant alloy or super-duplex (S32760 / S32750) for higher chloride; sour super-critical CO2 with H2S → nickel alloy (Alloy 825 / Alloy 625) per NACE MR0175. Atlantis NDT material-selection consulting + post-installation PMI verification (XRF-PMI per ASTM E1476).

Regulatory + Permit Framework

Regulatory frameworks active globally: EPA Class VI (US, UIC Program), EU CCS Directive 2009/31/EC, UK NSTA storage licensing, Norway PSA + Equinor frameworks, Australia DCCEEW + state Petroleum Acts, Brazil ANP, Saudi Arabia ARAMCO + Ministry of Energy frameworks. Atlantis NDT permit-support consulting covers integrity-monitoring plans (per Class VI §146.90) + post-injection site care + post-closure inspection cadence.
