This paper provides a real case study in regard to controlling the welding repair rate and NDT backlog in a company mega-project assigned to a new contractor. This case study shows the improvements in both KPIs, through the utilization of various quality and improvement tools, such as root cause analysis (Fishbone and Pareto chart), brainstorming, and PDCA cycle. The collaborative efforts between the client and contractor, including the welding and NDT subcontractors, resulted in reducing the WRR from 11.04% to below 5% (the set KPI). The NDT backlog was also controlled and reduced from 2500 joints to below 600 joints (less than one week production).
According NACE21414 and ISO18086 standards AC corrosion risks on pipelines requires knowledge on the AC and CP current density on a coating defect or coupon. The induced voltage is mainly a result of the pipeline coating properties, connections to grounded structures (anode beds, other pipelines, AC grounding systems, etc.) and the powerline characteristics (AC load, phase arrangement, tower configuration, etc.). A proper mitigation design engineering study should include all these variables.
Acrolein, or 2-propenal, is a small unsaturated aldehyde with the chemical formula C3H4O. It is a liquid at room temperature and has a number of uses for oilfield and agricultural applications. This paper discusses the use of acrolein for control of dissolved sulfide in oilfield fluids, both produced water and mixed production.
As governments around the world seek to promote the adoption of lower-carbon fuels, credits are available for fuels which satisfy various low-carbon or renewable fuels standards. In the United States, the most common standards discussed include California’s Low Carbon Fuels Standard1 and the US EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard2. These standards define the acceptable methods (called pathways) for conversion of renewable feeds into consumer fuel products. In order for a producer to be eligible for credits, one of the acceptable pathways must be used. The most common pathway presently being used or considered by most facilities is hydrotreating.
With the environmental push toward "Green" coatings; parking decks can also get in on the act by more than just having low VOC's. The presentation will discuss the use and benefits of IR reflecting (cool) pigments in parking deck topcoats.
There is ongoing development of new technologies, designs, and construction practices that result in reduced energy use. Through development of these technologies and incorporation of them into Building Standards, the energy and water use and greenhouse gas emissions from these buildings will be substantially reduced. One of the compelling measures that will continue to be developed and expanded is the high efficiency improvements to the building envelope, including cool roofs and other measures to reduce the impact of solar gain on roofs and attics.
This article describes the development of a web-based “fact sheet” on radiation control for commercial low-slope roofing systems. This fact sheet includes an estimating tool or “calculator” to predict the heating and cooling loads per unit area of low-slope roof. The user of the “calculator” specifies surface radiation properties (solar reflectance and infrared emittance), insulation level, and location for the roof.
As the technology of dehumidification has developed over the last 25 years, the air conditioner has always played an active role, right along with its sister, the desiccant dehumidifier. The benefits of a refrigeration-based dehumidifier are both obvious and obscure.
Antifouling coatings are a benefit to the environment because they reduce vessel drag which can increase fuel usage by as much as 86% and reduce the hull transport of nonindigenous species which may account for up to 70% of invertebrate invasive species in coastal waters. Copper-based antifouling coatings are used on over 90% of vessels in the world that have biofouling control coatings on their hulls.
Corrosion inhibitors provide a cost effective method for internal corrosion control of carbon and low alloy steel infrastructure within the oil and gas industry. The correct selection and validation of inhibitors is essential to ensure successful, safe and reliable operation of infrastructure. Corrosion inhibitors used in upstream oil and gas production are characteristic of surfactant molecules, which adsorb at the metalsolution interface, creating a dynamic physical barrier that reduces electrochemical dissolution.
