Large scale offshore wind farms are being planned globally and there is a general trend that the size of wind farms, with the installed wind turbines in each farm is becoming greater in number. High build-high solid protective coating is a robust solution to offshore structures splash zone anti-corrosive protection. The importance of coating thickness building-up during application is vital to secure the long-term protection. Furthermore, to have an efficient manufacturing process, application and curing speed is also becoming critical. In this regard, unsaturated polyester coating with outstanding application and turn-over efficiency delivers extra value to both customer and applicator, where the cost of coating, time, and application resources are extremely important. In this work, curing kinetics of unsaturated polyester coating is studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Rheometer to evaluate consuming rate of reaction and the cross-linking. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is utilized to study the glass transition temperature, also to align the storage modulus and hardness development in dry film. In doing so, we have carried out both microscopic and macroscopic mechanical analysis to eventually explain how and why unsaturated polyester coating delivers unique value to faster manufacturing for offshore windmill monopile industry. Knowledge gained in this study is beneficial for the fast-growing offshore wind and sustainability.

Unveiling the Mechanical Feasibility of Glass Reinforced Plastic for Post Combustion CO2 Capture Amine Service: A Thorough Examination

Product Number: 51324-20710-SG

Mitigating global warming and reducing CO2 emissions from the environment necessitates the implementation of carbon capture, sequestration, and storage (CCS) as an immediate and feasible solution. Amines are widely employed to capture CO2 gas from industrial exhaust streams. To enhance the cost-effectiveness of amine services, the incorporation of glass-reinforced plastic material holds immense potential for substantial cost benefits. The primary aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of utilizing glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) as a construction material for vessels, piping, and ducting in the cold section of the carbon capture and storage (CCS) system. The research examined the potential of completely replacing metallic equipment and piping (such as carbon steel (CS), stainless steel (SS) or SS cladded CS) with GRP materials. The investigation revealed that complete substitution of GRP for certain CO2 service components, including the scrubber, pre-scrubber, tanks, piping, and ducting, may be feasible under specific process conditions. These process conditions encompassed temperatures below 100°C, pressures below 10 bar for piping, and pressures below 0.2 bar for the remaining components. Two fabrication methods, filament winding and contact molding, were employed throughout the design calculations and utilizing corresponding material properties. A chemical compatibility study by Shell, presented at the 2023 AMPP conference and expo (Paper # AMPP-2023-18832), confirmed that the selected resins used to prepare the GRP material are chemically compatible with the commercial amine formulation used for CO2 capturing at the same application limit identified for the present work. The study unequivocally confirmed that glass-reinforced plastic can be incorporated with confidence, adhering to the safety limits prescribed by international standards. This resounding validation strengthens the viability and applicability of GRP in the given context, bolstering its position as a reliable and suitable construction material.

UP Periscope: Hunting for the Scope of Work

Product Number: 51217-044-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel, Chuck Fite

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Building upon the balanced equifinality principle, the authors explore the placement and wording of the scope of work in painting specifications and specifications in general. Often the scope is buried in a thick labyrinth of complex legal requirements, general conditions, special terms, forms, attestations, and overly inclusive technical specifications which are in reality engineering standards.

Upcoming Changes To NSF Drinking Water System Components Program (NSF 600) - No Need To Be Afraid

Product Number: 51322-18136-SG

Author: Steven P. Roetter

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

In 1984 the US EPA issued a Request for Proposals to select a provider to privatize the approval of products and components used in water distribution systems across the United States. A team which was led by NSF International and included the American Water Works Association Research Foundation, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators, the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers, and the American Water Works Association was awarded the contract to develop the standard. In 1988, NSF/ANSI 61: Drinking Water System Components ― Health Effects was published as a result of the work of this team. This standard established minimum requirements for the control of potential adverse human health effects from products that contact drinking water and has been updated regularly since then to add testing criteria for additional contaminants and product types.

Update on Mitigation of Mic Steel in A Marine Environment with Coatings

Product Number: 51219-209-SG

Author: John Peters

Publication Date: 2019

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is an important degradation mechanism for materials in civil infrastructure. Recent findings in Florida showed severe corrosion of submerged steel bridge piles associated with microbial activity. Furthermore, heavy marine growth (i.e., tunicates, hydroids, barnacles) was observed on the steel piles, which was also thought to affect the corrosion process by creating oxygen concentration cells and causing the initiation of localized corrosion.

The five-year review of D7091, Standard Practice for Non-destructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied to Ferrous Metals and Nonmagnetic, Nonconductive Coatings Applied to Non-Ferrous Metals is due to be completed by the end of 2018. The main update to this standard practice is the addition of the concept of scanning probes. Scanning probes are configured to take reading continuously at a rate of more than two reading a second while the probe is in contact with the coating.

Both mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic digesters are currently being utilized to treat sludge derived from more than typical municipal sewerage sources. Wastewater treatment plants are accepting septage and sludge from food waste and industrial contributors routinely today. Receiving these other sources of waste which are extremely high in volatile solids is a source of significant income for the utilities.
