Study on Preventing Hydrogen Pipeline Embrittlement
Sector: Hydrogen • Location: Newcastle, United Kingdom
Source: Pipeline and Gas Journal
Penspen has been awarded a new engineering study by National Gas Transmission to assess whether oxygen can be used as an inhibitor to reduce hydrogen-induced embrittlement in pipeline steel. The study is critical for repurposing natural gas infrastructure for hydrogen service as the UK develops a 1,500-mile hydrogen transmission network. The project includes identifying alternative inhibitors, des

Description
Description | Penspen has been awarded a new engineering study by National Gas Transmission to assess whether oxygen can be used as an inhibitor to reduce hydrogen-induced embrittlement in pipeline steel. The study is critical for repurposing natural gas infrastructure for hydrogen service as the UK develops a 1,500-mile hydrogen transmission network. The project includes identifying alternative inhibitors, designing oxygen dosing systems, and creating a roadmap for validation and deployment. |
