The Interaction of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds based Corrosion Inhibitor with Carbon Steel in CO2 Saturated NaCl Solution

Carbon steel is commonly used as a material for pipelines in oil and gas industry for facilities such as flowlines, down hole tubulars, transmission pipelines. Wide use of carbon steel is conventional due to its economic feasibility, however this kind of steel faces significant internal corrosion problems with corrosion rates reaching up to 10 mm/y if there is exclusion of protective methods. In oil and gas industry such carbon steel pipelines are utilized for transportation of hydrocarbons where they are simultaneously exposed to the co-generated acidic gases (carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S)) and water.

The Irony of Creating a Lining Failure in the Process of Inspection

Product Number: 51324-21128-SG

Author: Steve Liebhart

Publication Date: 2024

Inspection and shipping schedules often require hydrocarbon storage tanks and rail cars to be removed from service and turned around quickly. This can be for lining/tank inspection or to clean and repurpose it, among other reasons. For whatever reason needed the tank is drained, and any remaining material, including all vapors, must be removed for safe entry into the tank. This process might involve forced heat and ventilation but is not often precisely controlled and even less often are details of the process documented. After cargo is evacuated from the tank the hope is to find the lining intact, and then return it to service as soon as possible. During the process of evacuating volatile material from the tank it is important to handle the lining with care and attention so not to allow the empty tank shell and lining to heat up too fast. This is a dangerous scenario for the well-being of the lining if heated too fast while it contains volatile materials absorbed in the film. When a lining saturated with volatile hydrocarbon is rapidly subjected to increased temperature an equally rapid increase in vapor pressure occurs as the material changes from liquid to gas. Damage to the lining can occur if the vapors can’t escape before generating enough pressure to form blisters and/or cracks. This paper/presentation will discuss the physical phenomenon occurring during the heating and desorption of gasoline from a lining recently removed from immersion service, and how inadvertently damaging the lining during this sensitive process can occur. The purpose of this work is to raise awareness of this phenomenon and show how the long-term performance of a lining can be dramatically impacted in a matter of minutes if not appropriately cared for. Some guidance on how to avoid this problem will also be discussed.

The Latest Developments on Cathodic Protection Technologies in China

Product Number: MECC23-19994-SG

Author: Yanxia Du; Feng Gu; Te Ke; Zitao Jiang

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The progress of science and technology, and the large-scale construction of infrastructures, not only bring about challenges to cathodic protection (CP), but also provide new opportunities for CP technologies. Challenges and opportunities promote the development of the CP technologies. In recent years, CP technology has achieved great development particularly in the following four aspects: first, numerical simulation calculation technology of cathodic protection, which has made remarkable achievements in theoretical research and practical application; second, data remote monitoring technology of cathodic protection, which has improved the management level of cathodic protection system by combining wireless transmission system and GPRS network; third, great progress has been made in the aspects of AC and DC stray current corrosion mechanism, evaluation method and elimination technology; fourth, the development of photocathodic protection technology.

The Long Term Effects Of Surface Preparation: Evaluating ISO 12944 In Offshore Coating Application With Waterjetting And Cleaning Additive

Product Number: 51322-18021-SG

Publication Date: 2022

Offshore assets such as drilling rigs, production platforms, and wind turbines present challenges for corrosion prevention maintenance. The primary defense against atmospheric corrosion on structural steel in offshore saltwater environments is a protective coating system.

Several factors cause protective coatings to degrade rapidly: besides wearing and damage encountered in installation and use, ultraviolet light breaks down the organic resins and corrosive seawater causes under creep at any breaks in the coating. Maintenance coating for offshore atmospheric systems can therefore be necessary as early as the second year.

The Manufacturer’s Standard Coating System - What it can Mean to the Stake-Holders in the Equipment Purchasing Process

Product Number: 41216-981-SG

Publication Date: 2016

Often times, protective coatings for equipment and packages come as an afterthought; therefore, a Coatings Specialist is not always included in early purchasing discussions. Lack of the Coating Specialist participation in the preliminary workflow does not necessarily equate directly to a “bad outcome”, however there are fundamental details which, if highlighted early, can make a significant difference in the procurement process resulting in cost savings and competitive bids.

The Microbial Processes Affecting the Integrity of Copper Canister in Geological Repository of Nuclear Waste

Product Number: 51319-13019-SG

Author: Pauliina Rajala

Publication Date: 2019

The nuclear waste disposal concept in Finland is based on a multi-barrier system where the spent nuclear fuel is disposed of in deep crystalline bedrock in copper canisters surrounded by clay buffer. The copper canisters should have lifetimes exceeding 100 000 years to prevent the release of radioactive nuclides to the environment. In anoxic water such as the ground water at the disposal site the corrosion of copper should be extremely slow. However microbial activity on the surface or in the vicinity of the copper canister can enhance corrosion in many different ways e.g. changing the pH or redox potential excretion of corrosive metabolites direct or indirect reduction or oxidation of corrosion products and formation of biofilms that create corrosive microenvironmentsIn this study microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) of copper was studied using electrochemical methods weight loss measurements and molecular biology methods in laboratory environment. The experiment was conducted under anoxic conditions in water simulating the groundwater of disposal site. Inoculations of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) acetogenic bacteria or methanogenic archaea enriched from the disposal site were added to the experiments. A sterilized abiotic environment was used as a reference environment.

A two-year Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in-house study was launched in November 2006 to evaluate various coating materials that may be applied as one-coat systems to steel bridges. A total of eight test materials plus two control systems, a 3-coat and a 2-coat, were applied over near-white steel test panels (SSPC-SP10). Their performance has been evaluated for 20 months using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, surface failure characterizations, rust creepage at scribe, pull-off adhesion, and changes of color and gloss.
