Vanmok DensePhase™ CO₂ Pipeline Simulator
The Vanmok DensePhase™ CO₂ Pipeline Simulator is designed to help engineers and operators analyze the complex thermodynamic and hydraulic behavior of CO₂ transportation systems across dense-phase, supercritical, gaseous, and two-phase conditions.
CO₂ pipelines can operate close to the critical region, where small changes in pressure, temperature, or composition can produce significant changes in density, compressibility, phase behavior, and pressure-wave propagation. Vanmok addresses these challenges with advanced thermodynamic modeling integrated directly into a transient pipeline solver.
Key capabilities include:
- Near-critical CO₂ thermodynamic modeling
- Dense-phase, supercritical, gas, and two-phase simulation
- Multi-component CO₂ streams with impurities
- Startup and shutdown transient analysis
- Compressor and booster station evaluation
- Seasonal and elevation sensitivity studies
- Operating-envelope and phase-stability assessment
- Controlled blowdown and depressurization analysis
- Leak and rupture scenario simulation
- Dry-ice formation risk assessment
- Pressure, temperature, density, inventory, and phase visualization
- Synthetic Leak Testing (SLT) generation
- Digital-twin and what-if scenario analysis
The simulator can support pre-FEED and FEED studies, pipeline design optimization, operating-envelope definition, integrity and fracture-control studies, emergency-response planning, and leak detection validation.
Vanmok can also generate physics-consistent synthetic leak and rupture scenarios for evaluating Computational Pipeline Monitoring (CPM) and leak detection systems under realistic operating conditions.
The platform is particularly suited to CCS projects where accurate representation of near-critical behavior, phase transitions, impurity effects, and rapid decompression is essential for sound engineering decisions and safer CO₂ transportation.
