Asset Compatibility Assessment Tool for Transmission
Abstract
Following completion of Phase 2 of the H21 Hydrogen Ready Components project, this project will look to extend the methodology developed under this project to encompass the assessment of assets operating above 7 barg. The assessment tool will be incorporated into the LTS Futures blueprint methodology for repurposing existing Natural Gas transmission assets to hydrogen. The scope will include transmission assets above 7 barg and up to the maximum transmission pressure of 94 barg and will focus on the conversion to 100% hydrogen. Assets in scope will cover both above and below ground assets, and include bends, valves, regulators, slam shuts, relief valves, and pig traps. Assets excluded include pipelines, compressors and cast iron components.
