The design and operation of a simple reflection/absorption spectroelectrochemical cell capable of operation at gas pressures up to 1 MPa is described.
MD simulations are carried out to determine the optimal composition of a potential electrolyte that is capable of operation in the intermediate-temperature region without sacrifice in performance.
Among others are whether pipeline operators should be required to install valves at shorter intervals; whether the valves must be capable of operation by remote control; and whether rules on corrosion control should be stricter.
He added it might be the only system capable of operation until "others do that which they ought to do", and he conceded that voluntary coalition was unlikely at present.
