Determining Distribution Rate Of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors Using Corrosion Potential Data

Determining Distribution Rate Of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors Using Corrosion Potential Data
Available for download

High-level radioactive waste generated during reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel at Hanford has been stored in several single- and 27 double shell tanks (DSTs).  Each DST consists of a primary shell (inner) surrounded by secondary (outer) liner.  The secondary liner rests on a concrete foundation.  Rainwater may seep in and accumulate in the drain slots and may corrode the exterior of the secondary liner.  Evidence of wall thinning has been detected via ultrasonic inspections of the annulus floor between the primary and secondary tank shells.  Since the inspection is confined to this region, there is a concern that corrosion is widespread on the underside of the bottom plate.

Hanford stores millions of gallons of high-level waste in 27 carbon-steel double shell, underground tanks. A secondary shell surrounds the primary shell, where the bottom plate of the secondary shell rests on a channeled concrete pad.  There have been instances of metal loss on the secondary shell bottom plates in contact with the concrete basemat where groundwater accumulation in the channels may have caused corrosion.  In addition, uneven contact between the basemat and shell could create occluded areas where localized corrosion is possible.  In previous studies, vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) were tested for their ability to mitigate concrete-basemat side corrosion of the secondary shell bottom.  The previous study indicated that VCIs are effective in mitigating corrosion in both immersed and vapor space conditions.  However, the tanks being large with approximately 70-ft bottom, it is important to understand VCI distribution rate after VCIs are injected.  Experiments were conducted with VCI injection in the groundwater along with coupons positioned at several locations with respect to the ground water.  Coupons’ potentials were monitored, and corrosion rate data were analyzed.  It was determined that corrosion potential is a good indicator of VCI concentration in the simulated groundwater solution.

One of the frequent and major problems encountered in the oil and gas production is the
internal corrosion of carbon steel pipelines. Corrosion can be categorized into uniform (or
general) corrosion, localized corrosion and erosion-corrosion. Uniform corrosion causes
overall metal loss and general thinning of metal. Localized corrosion has the appearance
of pits or grooves.

High pressure and high temperature processes are present in a wide variety of industries and are often pushing the limits of common materials. As a result, these applications have required advanced materials as well as an improved understanding of the in-situ conditions. Furthermore, those processes have become more and more present in a wide range of industries such as upstream oil and gas (O&G) and power generation (in supercritical CO2 or molten salt nuclear reactors). The corrosion performance of existing and emerging materials to the extreme environments present in next generation power must be well characterized to ensure material integrity and reduce the risk of catastrophic failures due to environmentally assisted cracking, homogeneous corrosion, thermal oxidation, or other mechanisms.

F22 is a low alloy steel that typically contains 12% Carbon, 2.25% Chromium, and 1.0% Molybdenum1. This steel has been widely used in oil production systems, especially in well head design and construction. As a low alloy steel, F22 can be corroded by oilfield chemicals under certain circumstances. For example, it was observed in the Gulf of Mexico that typical scale inhibitor chemistries caused severe corrosion on F22.
