A study on the risk of corrosion within a post-combustion and amine-based carbon capture installation is presented.
A methodology of risk identification and evaluation for CO2 capture installations was proposed.
A combination of HAZOP study, Delphi technique and Fault Tree Analysis was applied in order to calculate the risk.
The highest level of risk was identified in the area of rich amine solution and pipelines with wet acid gases.
The most frequent reason for corrosion and amine degradation is the presence of heavy metals in amine solution.
