Why standards in the first place? A brief introduction to standardisation What s their role in the legislative context? B. Standards and codes on equipment and machinery Codes and standards across the globe Scope of a typical equipment standard C. New standard projects in the field of CCS New projects on ISO-level CCS-topics most likely to be standardised Page 2 20 June

2 Why standards in the first place? Page 3 20 June 2011 Standards and codes General concept Consensus-based documents, typically aimed at safety, quality or dimension issues, agreed on by a large group of stakeholders Various degrees of legal implementation In some countries: use of national standards required by law On ISO-level and throughout European Economic Area (EEA): Application not mandatory, but rather the manufacturer s choice Use of classical standards on ISO- or EN-level (in Germany: DIN EN) in general on voluntary basis Quite often: standards used tools for implementing technical requirements from laws and ordinances in practice Page 4 20 June

3 Standardisation processes may sometimes appear a bit confusing, therefore a few explanations Page 5 20 June 2011 Standards and codes Some general thoughts Typical purposes of classical standards: Ensuring a common level of safety and quality Economical concerns, e.g. reduction of interface/compatibility problems Environmental aspects increasingly in focus Participation of all concerned stakeholders Regular revisions, permanent adaptation to state of the art In some industry sectors standards have achieved a very strong position (e.g. safety of machinery) Standards reflect the current state of technology, not(!) the state of science and technology (important for product safety) Page 6 20 June

4 Types of standards Difference between DIN, EN and ISO National standards, drafted by national standardisation institutes, e.g. DIN (Germany), AFNOR (France), BSI (UK), ANSI (US) Regional standards e.g. standards under the lead of the European standardisation institute CEN/CENELEC National standardisation institutes in EEA in close cooperation with CEN, replace old national standards by EN standards Global standards under the lead of ISO/IEC: of considerable advantage, especially when exporting in non- European countries not available/feasible in all industry sectors and not automatically acknowledged in all countries Page 7 20 June 2011 CCS-activities Where might standardisation set in? Equipment Materials Machinery, pressure equipment, piping etc. Planning and management of CCS activities Environmental planning Risk management Further CCS-specific aspects Quantification Verification Page 8 20 June

5 Standards for machinery and equipment Short Overview Page 9 20 June 2011 Equipment standards Some background Many CCS activities based on methods from process technology Regulations on machinery and equipment all over the world As a consequence already in the past extensive standardisation activities in various fields: Machinery: many standards on ISO level, e.g. on machinery safety, risk assessment (for machines), but also on specific machines such as compressors, pumps etc. Pressure vessels, piping: core components in chemical plants large variety of national and regional standards worldwide Materials as basis for machinery and process equipment, partly on ISO-level, partly regional (EN/ASTM) Various ISO product standards in petroleum industry Page June

6 Equipment standards Pressure vessels and piping US: ASME-Code more or less mandatory, mainly with ASTMmaterials as basis Europe: EN-standards cover the whole area of plant construction, e. g.: EN (pressure vessels) and EN (industrial piping) EN 12952/EN (boilers), EN 1092/EN 1591 (flanges) EN (cryogenic vessels), EN (valves) In addition old national codes present such as AD 2000 (Germany), CODAP (France) and PD 5500 (UK) Large (complete) set of EN material standards, e.g. EN (flat steel products), EN 10216/10217 (tubes), EN (forgings) Many material standards also as EN ISO Page June 2011 Equipment standards Pressure vessels and piping Canada: CSA-code (related to ASME) Australia: AS-Codes for pressure equipment (and machinery) Japan: JIS-Code China: GB 150/GB 151 Important: All of these standards cover the pressure-related aspects of as far as possible all items of process equipment No common ISO-standard on pressure equipment Page June

7 Scope of a pressure equipment standard Example EN EN : Selection of appropriate materials, requirements for mechanical properties for the operating modes (corrosion etc.) EN : Design of vessels, various load cases (creep, fatigue), experimental design, design by analysis, design of vessel parts (head, shell etc.), but also items such as flanges EN : Fabrication with welding, forming, necessary qualifications, production tests, heat treatment etc. EN : Inspection and testing with inspection methods, testing criteria, proof testing etc. Further parts of EN 13445: requirements for non-ferrous materials such as cast iron, aluminium, nickel etc. Page June 2011 Just a little detour Standards in petroleum industry ISO/TC 67: Materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries Standards exclusively used for machinery and equipment (e.g. heat exchangers) in petroleum industry Many of these standards to a large part based on existing APIstandards Participation of petroleum and material experts all over the world therefore wide acceptance in petroleum industry Page June

8 Summary for equipment standards Is CCS covered? Classical safety-related aspects with respect to equipment (hazards from pressure, moving parts, explosive atmospheres) largely reflected and covered in existing equipment standards Scope of process equipment standards is usually aimed at any fluid (giving special requirements when containing corrosive or aggressive media, for instance) CCS should mostly fit in Remaining not necessarily easy task: Identification of additional CCS-specific issues (e.g. special considerations, best practices) with respect to CO 2 carbon capture (i.e. the process) CO 2 transport and storage (pipelines, vessels, materials) Page June 2011 New standards for CCS Where are we heading? Page June

9 New standards for CCS Current activities Up to now no CCS-specific committee, neither globally (on ISOlevel) nor on regional (EN) or national level Hence also no specific official work items or issues so far Current (formal) activities: Project proposal on ISO-level, aimed at standardising a number of CCS-related issued Either formation of new ISO/TC or inclusion in working program of existing committees with similar work program On acceptance of proposal: probably formation of European mirror committee at CEN/CENELEC and/or national mirror committees Page June 2011 New standards for CCS Suggested fields of activity (from proposal) Planning and management: Storage management Lifecycle of storage projects (including development, operation, closure, long term stewardship) Both safety and environmental aspects to be considered Risk management Development of a risk standard for CO 2 capture, transport and storage (risk assessment, management, and communication) Addressing uncertainties in this new technology Page June

10 New standards for CCS Suggested fields of activity (from proposal) Quantification and Verification Measuring and assessing the greenhouse gas emission reductions Possibly essential for regulatory requirements and market confidence Possibly additional CCS-specific measures for equipment (as outlined before) Page June 2011 Thank you very much for your attention!
