Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the corrosion behavior of carbon steels in supercritical CO₂ conditions. Unlike the case of carbon capture and storage (CCS) where small amounts of water are present, the exploitation of fields with high pressures of CO₂ needs to consider the presence of formation water, which presents strong corrosivity. It has been reported that the aqueous corrosion rate of carbon steel at high CO₂ pressures (liquid and supercritical CO₂) without protective FeCO₃ corrosion product layers is very high (>20 mm/y) due to the high concentrations of corrosive species such as H⁺ and H₂CO_³.^1-5 Steels with low Cr contents (i.e., 1% Cr and 3% Cr) have shown no beneficial effect in terms of reducing the corrosion rate to admissible values.6 Therefore, controlling corrosion in these cases usually involves the use of corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs) or corrosion inhibitors (CI). Adequate protection of carbon steel was achieved by applying CI in high pressure CO₂ environments.⁶

Investigating the Effect of Trace O2 Concentrations on CO2 Corrosion Mechanisms

Product Number: 51324-20996-SG

CO2 co-produced in brine with crude oil is the governing corrodent in upstream oil and gas systems. A potential additional corrosive species that can be introduced through ingress is O2. Consequently, strict guidelines exist within the oil and gas industry to limit O2 levels in production environments, emphasizing the significance of understanding any associated corrosion risks. These guidelines require O2 concentrations to be as low as 20 ppb, however, there is little to no experimental evidence to support this limit. The aim of the research described herein was to advance the understanding of how trace O2 concentrations can influence CO2 corrosion mechanisms of bare steel at the acidic pH of 4. Elucidating these underlying mechanisms would enable more effective corrosion prediction, thereby enabling development of effective mitigation strategies, as well as establishing validity of the aforementioned “20 ppb” guideline related to O2 ingress. To accomplish these goals, controlled experiments were performed to test aqueous O2 concentrations up to 100 ppb on pipeline steel in a CO2 saturated 1 wt% NaCl brine at 1 bar total pressure. Various electrochemical analytical techniques, including LPR, EIS, and potentiodynamic polarization measurements were employed. The research reported herein is foundational for characterizing the impact of oxygen in CO2 corrosion environments, an ongoing research activity. This will contribute to the development of more reliable and sustainable corrosion control practices for industries experiencing CO2 corrosion which can be extendable to carbon capture and transmission systems.

Biomass, as a renewable energy source, can be converted into bio-oil (BO) via thermochemical conversion pathways. Among them, fast pyrolysis is the most common and the only industrially applied approach to convert dry biomass into BO. There are many advantages of using BO to replace traditional fossil fuels. For example, the amount of CO2 generated from biofuel combustion is close to that absorbed in raw biomass growth, leading to a net-zero carbon emission from energy production. BO combustion generates lower emissions of SOx and NOx compared to conventional fossil fuels.

Accelerated corrosion testing has been an integral part of estimating the durability of protective coatings on metal substrates. Test methods such as salt spray and artificial ageing has been used extensively according to the requirements put forward by the ISO 12944 standards. The testing time depends on the corrosivity of the environment as well as the durability expected from the coatings. For the highest corrosion class, this can range up to 4200 hours (approx. 6 months). With the ongoing demand for coatings with higher durability (> 25 years), the testing time will be further increased. This in turn results in prolonged periods of testing requiring a huge number of resources. We therefore conducted a study to determine the presence of any trends in the corrosion creep observed in salt spray testing as well as artificial ageing. An epoxy with a polyurethane topcoat was chosen as the paint system, and salt spray tests according to ISO 9227 and artificial ageing according to ISO 12944-6 and 9 were conducted for various durations. Following the end of testing, the evaluation of degradation was performed using corrosion creep as a parameter. Visual examination was performed to observe any visible degradation. The barrier properties of the coating system were evaluated using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) according to ISO 16773-2. Supplementary data obtained from water condensation tests and adhesion pull-off tests shall as be presented as well. The identification of trends in such corrosion tests opens the possibilities of estimation of corrosion behaviour of paint systems based on a finite set of data.

Among the many additive manufacturing processes, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) has recently been drawing interest due to its great and attractive prospect for fabrication of large parts, the possibility to process a vast range of materials in form of welding wires, and the addition of further details to semi-finished components [1]. However, most of the research have currently focused on optimization of the WAAM process parameters and analysis of the resulting thermal and residual stresses [2]. Unlike conventional manufacturing processes, WAAM process and post-processing treatments result in unique microstructures and material surfaces that alter the corrosion performance of the materials but are not fully studied or understood yet.

Top-of-Line Corrosion (TLC) is a practical but costly problem for unprocessed natural gas transport. Utilizing multiphase pipelines instead of processing the well-fluids offshore has required massive modeling development to control hydrate formation and corrosion. At the inlet of the pipelines, the gas, and other well fluids have much higher temperatures than the pipelines' outside environment, e.g., cold ocean water or river water.

Many microorganisms occurring naturally in waters and soils can cause microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) on metal structures. Such microorganisms include sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), sulfate-reducing archaea (SRA), acid-producing bacteria (APB), methanogens, metal-oxidizing bacteria, metal-reducing bacteria, and nitrate-reducing bacteria. The activities of individual microbial species or a synergistic group of microbes alter the electrochemical processes on metal surface and produce a broad range of outcomes, such as pitting, crevice corrosion, under-deposit corrosion, and selective dealloying, in addition to an enhanced galvanic and erosion corrosion.

Material selection to get “fit-for-purpose” alloys is an important task that corrosion engineers face in their daily work. Two common ways of attacking such a challenge is by testing different alloys in environments similar to the application in a laboratory environment or installing samples in actual operating equipment. In the latter, testing is usually time consuming and might require plant turnovers to get access to the equipment for sample installation.

Investigation of Polymeric Elastomers for Cavitation and Erosion Resistance

Product Number: 51323-18950-SG

Author: Allen Skaja, Christine Henderson

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Cavitation occurs in localized areas where there is a pressure drop across a structure; the water goes through a phase transition and forms water vapor. These vapor bubbles implode, resulting in high velocity micro-jets which impact adjacent surfaces. These impacts release shockwaves of energy, which cause microscopic particles of the surface material to flake off.1 Repeated micro-jet impact causes microfractures in the affected surfaces and leads to pitting.
