SJones:
Thanks for your input. I agree that the way to choose is by comparing life cycle costs of the entire system (including compressors, fans, as required).
I'll check out HDPE and GRP; they look promising but available diameters look small.
Hi Montemayor,
Thanks for the reply, and I understand your doubts... but I reiterate:
inlet conditions: 17psia, 90 F
outlet conditions: 14.5 psia, 90 F
My initial back-of-the-envelope calculations when I was assuming PVC came out to about a 24" pipe.
If no cheap plastic or composite works, then...
Hi all,
What material would you pick for a CO2 pipeline, where the pipeline is no longer than 10 miles, and the CO2 is in the gas phase (for example at 17 psia and ambient temperature, around 6 tons/hr of CO2)?
I want to avoid the need for a compressor at the inlet, and use some plastic or...
