The conversion of forestry/agricultural residues (lignocellulosic biomass) to biofuels or bioproducts has received increasing interest over the past years because of the demand for green products and the fact of abundant residual/waste streams in forestry and agricultural sectors. Forestry/agricultural residues/waste streams are advantageous bioresources to produce biofuels or bio-based chemicals since they do not compete with food resources.1 Typical conversion technologies involve biochemical and thermochemical processes. Biochemical conversion processes, mainly referring to fermentation of wet carbohydrate materials into bioethanol and anaerobic digestion to generate biogas at ambient operation conditions,2 is quite slow and sensitive to operating conditions (pH, temperature, etc.).3
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is seen as a promising thermochemical approach to convert wet and waste biomass feedstocks into biocrude oils and other valuable chemicals. One of the critical technical barriers that must be addressed for the industrial deployment of HTL technology is the corrosion of process core equipment, especially the refining reactors, due to the presence of the hot-compressed water medium, applied alkali catalyst, and aggressive intermediate and final products (such as aggressive sulfur and/or chlorinated compounds, organic acids) generated during the conversion. In this study, the corrosion performance of two candidate alloys (UNS N06625 and UNS R20033) was investigated in a batch reactor containing hot-compressed water, 5 wt.% K2CO3 catalyst and cellulose (a typical model compound of lignocellulosic biomass). Certain amounts of organic acids and phenolic compounds were present in the produced oil, implying the change of environmental pH (from mild basic to near neutral) during the conversion. The two tested alloys experienced general oxidation associated with localized oxide peel-off or nodular oxidation. Due to its higher Cr content, UNS R20033 had a lower corrosion rate compared to UNS N06625 under the HTL of cellulose.
In 1950s, as an important measure to improve the corrosion resistance of base metal, internal coating pipes was first applied to sour crude oil and natural gas pipelines [1]. Among the coating systems, FBE coating has good impact resistance, bending resistance, high bonding strength, good resistance for acid, alkali, salt, oil and water fluid. The coating can reduce the internal surface roughness friction resistance of piping & pipeline to reduce project investment.

At present, there were ten common crossing modes in long-distance oil and gas pipelines[1,2]. There were six ways of tunneling, such as large excavation, horizontal directional drilling, shield tunnel, drilling and blasting tunnel, ramming pipe and pipe jacking. There were four ways of spanning methods, such as truss crossing, arch bridge crossing, suspension cable crossing and cable-stayed bridge crossing. Crossing by shield tunneling, as a pipeline laying method with high mechanization and automation, extensive applicable strata and high safety, has been widely used in recent years.
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is one of the key technologies to achieve the net-zero emission. One of the CCUS method is CO2 injection to depleted oil and gas wells or aquifers and storage (CCS). The CO2 emitted from fossil fuel-based powers and industrial plants are captured and transported to the injection point by ships or pipe line. Following that, the dense phase or supercritical phase CO2 will be injected to depleted oil and gas wells or aquifers through oil country tubular goods, for examples, seamless pipe.
