Pyrolysis processes of post-consumer plastics are a promising chemical recycling route and a good alternative to disposal. Nevertheless, these processes are challenging for metallic materials since chlorine containing materials or biological components inside the feedstock can yield HCl and H2S, respectively, during cracking. In combination with high temperatures of the reactor zone metallic construction materials can be attacked by high-temperature corrosion.

Several austenitic alloys were tested under conditions simulating a pyrolysis process of post-consumer plastics. Impurities in the plastic feedstock like chlorine containing materials or organic components yield HCl and H2S, respectively, during the cracking process. The reactor material must be able to withstand these harsh corrosive conditions.

To evaluate the applicability of commonly used construction materials, high-temperature corrosion experiments were performed in lab-scale test equipment at 580 °C for 240 hours. The gas atmosphere consisted of either 0.02 vol% or 2 vol% H2S and 3.8 vol% HCl, 1.9 vol% CO2, 0.3 vol% CO, 2.8 vol% H2, balance N2, denoted as low-H2S and high-H2S mixture, respectively. After the corrosion experiments the samples were analyzed by metallography, SEM/EDX and XRD. Additionally, the corrosion rates were evaluated.

Results showed that the corrosion rates of the materials increased with rising H2S content in the gas atmosphere. Additionally, the corrosion behavior of the materials changed when going from the low-H2S mixture to the high-H2S mixture. In the low-H2S mixture the alloying element nickel was identified to be helpful for corrosion protection. In the high-H2S mixture chromium was beneficial alloying element against corrosive attack at the given conditions.

A lot of oil and gas facilities face corrosion problems because the production fluid contains some corrosive components represented by CO2. Generally, corrosion inhibitors are used in order to mitigate corrosion problems of tubing and pipeline. Imidazoline is known as one of the active ingredients of corrosion inhibitors and widely used in the oil and gas industries. However, imidazoline-type inhibitor is easily hydrolyzed to amide if water mixes into it.

ECA technologies are not very well known in the oil and gas industry and are still undeservedly suffering from the bad reputation of traditional eddy current testing from twenty years ago. Eddy current techniques are often humorously compared to "black magic" in the sense that the results are difficult to understand, the probes are complicated to use, and only eddy current gurus can use it efficiently. However, ECA has evolved significantly over the past 15 years and is now much easier and more intuitive to use.

The spread of disbondment or corrosion from a scribe or holiday in a coating film, for which the terms rust creepage or undercutting are used in this paper is an important mechanism of coating degradation. The mechanism of rust creepage has been well studied by several authors who concur that the mechanism is driven by electrochemical reactions15. The reactions occurring at the discontinuity in the coating (scribe or holiday) involve an anodic reaction in which iron is dissolved. Adjacent to the anodic region, under the coating, a cathodic reaction occurs in which oxygen is reduced to hydroxyl ions.
