Empowering a Greener Future

Pioneering Safe and Sustainable Solutions Through Cutting-Edge AI and Multi-Physics Modeling

Welcome to Aixima

Your premier partner in revolutionizing integrity assessment and transport solutions. As the world acknowledges the pressing need to curb CO2 emissions through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), the significance of efficient and secure CO2 transport has never been greater.

Yet, the challenge lies in the absence of common design standards that adequately address unique scenarios and uncertainties.

Enter Aixima, offering a game-changing approach through AI applications and validated multi-physics numerical simulations.

Solutions

AI and Multi-Physics Modeling for fracture control

At Aixima, we’ve harnessed the power of advanced physics-based numerical simulations to transform the way CO2 transportation challenges are approached. These simulations are not bound by the constraints of traditional design codes. Instead, they offer a holistic understanding of intricate scenarios, accounting for the interplay of various physical phenomena and capturing the nuances that standard codes often overlook.

Aixima Solution

Aixima_Solution
Validated state-of-the-art computational multi-physics model of fully coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
Arbitrary configurations of material (grade, toughness), geometry (diameter, wall thickness) and transported mixture
Valid for seamless and HFI pipelines
Validated consideration of water backfill (offshore)
Validated consideration of soil backfill (onshore)
Already successfully validated (blind predictions) against three full-scale tests (on + offshore) in 2022 by excellent agreement with experimentally measured data
Highly cost-effective safety assessment for re-qualification of existing pipelines and design of new pipelines

Current Standards

IMG_7159_12
Based on non-physically modified and outdated semi-empirical models
Multiple gaps and out-of-scope due to coverage of limited material (grade, toughness) and geometry (diameter, wall thickness) configurations
Seamless and HFI pipelines not considered
Water backfill not considered
Insufficient consideration of soil backfill
Non-conservative (unsafe) or overly conservative safety assessments
Extremely costly and demanding full-scale burst testing as an alternative

About

At Aixima, we’re your dedicated experts in Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) solutions, with a remarkable track record spanning over 15 years. Our focus is on delivering real results to our clients, backed by a robust research background boasting 25 conference presentations and peer-reviewed journal publications.

We’re excited to share our recent success – the validation of our state-of-the-art FSI computational model. Our team provides technical advisory and preleminary simulations for large-scale testing for repurposing subsea pipes for CO2 transport in the southern North Sea in 2022. We approved material, mixture and backfill behavior models during large-scale CO2 pipeline tests, including the world’s first subsea CO2 pipeline examination. This groundbreaking effort provided unique insights into fracture behavior under real-world onshore and offshore conditions.
