THE WORLD’S ONLY DEDICATED
CO2 PIPELINE FORUM
The subject of CO2 transportation by pipeline is of widespread and increasing importance as the
world comes to terms with the issues of carbon capture and storage (CCS) for the mitigation of
climate change. The transportation aspect is often looked upon as the ‘missing link’ in a concept
that is being widely embraced.
The 4th International Forum on Transportation of CO2 by Pipeline will bring together world leaders in the field of CO2
pipelines to help address this ‘missing link’ in CCS.
Organized by Tiratsoo Technical and Clarion, the Forum will be held in conjunction with Newcastle University, and will
have a programme that looks at a range of different issues relating to the development of CO2 pipelines systems for CCS.
The programme will address technical, scientific, and regulatory perspectives. Presentations will be given by a range of
speakers, from world-acclaimed researchers and academics to government representatives, and pipeline operators.
As the one-stop event for those interested in CO2 pipelines, it offers an unparalleled opportunity for those wishing to learn
more about the CO2 pipeline industry.

AIMS OF THE EVENT
• To facilitate knowledge sharing and networking
opportunities between CCS stakeholders and pipeline
professionals
• To raise awareness of the important issues that need to
be addressed for the safe and efficient transportation of
CO2 by pipeline

The Fourth International Forum on Transportation of CO2 by Pipeline 3
TRAINING COURSE PROGRAMME:
PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION OF CO2
CONTAINING IMPURITIES
This course is separate to the main Forum programme and will be run on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 of June before the main
Forum. It covers the entire spectrum of technical issues and requirements for the design, construction, operation, maintenance,
risk and integrity assessment of pipelines carrying impure CO2.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Professionals who require in-depth background and technical requirements of transport systems for impure CO2, including
pipeline engineers and designers, regulators, health, safety and environmental specialists.
DOCUMENTATION
The course will be fully documented with all slides and related documents for use during and after the course, and providing
an invaluable reference document thereafter.
LECTURERS
Dr Kamal K. Botros has 35+ years of experience working on various fluid flow problems,
including equipment dynamics related to pipeline and industrial facilities, petrochemical
manufacturing plants and gas processing plants. Early research focused on solving problems
related to the generation, transmission and suppression of flow-generated pulsation. Later
work focused on transient flow problems in complex systems. He has contributed to the area
of environmental mediation, including the development of supersonic gas ejector for capturing
of gas emission, a Predictive Emission Monitoring (PEM) model, CO2 emission abatement
techniques for gas-turbine-based systems, and improving expelling techniques of combustible
gases from confined spaces. Recent activities include measurement of decompression wave
speed following ruptures of high-pressure, rich gas and CO2 pipelines, gas-turbine degradation
modelling, stochastic methods, and dynamic programming for multi-objective optimizations
of large design space problems. His research interests lie predominantly in time-dependent
phenomena of fluids-equipment-structure interactions. Dr Botros has published more than 170
technical papers in journals and refereed conferences, has three patents, and has coauthored
two books, Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems and Pipeline Transportation of Carbon
Dioxide Containing Impurities. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University
of Calgary.
Brian Rothwell is an engineering consultant based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He is retired
from TransCanada Pipelines Ltd and has worked for over 45 years in the fields of materials,
fracture and welding for pipeline systems, and for the last 25 years on safety and integrity, and
risk and reliability of gas transmission systems, and he has served as Vice-Chair of the Canadian
Standards Association Technical Committee for pipeline systems and materials. Brian graduated
in Physical Metallurgy from Imperial College, London.
