CLIMIT-Forskning, utvikling og demo av CO2-håndtering

Modeling of the effects of CO2 leaks from pipelines and process facilities

When processing and transporting significant quantities of CO2 there is a potential for leaks of CO2 to plant or surroundings. CO2 is denser than air and will replace air near the ground. Significant leaks may represent a significant hazard to people down wind, and even moderate sized leaks may f...
