Webinar: In-situ coatings for hydrogen transmission – retrofitting steel pipelines
December 3, 2024
11:00am-12:30pm (Syd/Can/Mel)
Tuesday 3 December
Australia has thousands of kilometres of buried steel pipelines currently used for transporting natural gas. If repurposed for hydrogen transmission, these pipelines need to mitigate the effects of hydrogen embrittlement. As part of Future Fuels CRC’s research, the team at the University of Melbourne has been developing internal coatings for steel pipelines. The coatings would be cost-effective and capable of being applied in-situ to buried pipelines.
Join research leader Prof Sandra Kentish to learn more about the challenge of addressing hydrogen embrittlement in steel pipelines with innovative coating solutions.
The research encompassed three stages focused on evaluating the hydrogen permeability, flow properties and hydrogen radical scavenging ability of different coating materials. The promising results underscore the potential of these coatings and the opportunities they could offer the future pipeline industry.
