Odor and Corrosion Problems in Wastewater Collection Systems and Treatment Plants: Two Related Issues Requiring Distinctly Separate Control Strategies

Product Number: 41208-435-SG

Author: Randy Nixon

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Odor control systems are critical to handling and treating foul air in wastewater collection systems and treatment plants. However, odor control systems do not stop corrosion related to biogenic sulfide formation of sulfuric acid as some engineers would have you believe. Conversely if you have an odor problem you also typically have a corrosion problem, and each problem requires separate control strategies.

Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) is the largest producer of water by its different water desalination plants distributed around the kingdom. In SWCC above storage tanks (ASTs) have the capacity to store 140,000 m3 of produced water. Most tanks are commissioned more than 20 years and have worked properly with minor observations on their performance. Mostly SWCC tanks are made of carbon steel and internally protected with a two - components epoxy coating as a passive method and cathodic protection as an active method.

In the UK a huge effort was made in the mid to late 2000’s to minimize carbon emissions and the country had seen a rapid increase in wind-turbine generators being installed onshore and increasingly in offshore waters, nearly 2000 were operating in September 2018 and many more are expected in the coming decades. 1 One operator took the challenge to install a number of wind-turbines in the southern sector of the North Sea, just off the coast of south east England. These wind-turbines are constructed using the monopile foundation type principle.

API (American Petroleum Institute) tracks and analyzes the cause of leaks / releases of hydrocarbons based on data reported to PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration). One study took a statistical look at the causes of internal corrosion for onshore liquid pipelines. In a 10-year period, a total of 503 incidents were responsible for 53,000 barrels spilled and property damage of $188,000,000.

Publication Date: 2013

Gel coat has traditionally been used in environments where color, gloss and relative long-term performance are important. This premise is still true today; however, a much more advanced technology has been developed that provides improved characteristics of color and gloss stability, higher mechanical properties and zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s).

Oligomeric Type Inhibitors Meeting a BroadSpectrum of Oilfield Corrosion Challenges

Product Number: MECC23-19970-SG

Author: Per-Erik Hellberg

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The standard type of chemicals long used as oilfield corrosion inhibitors are so-called filmforming molecules carrying a positive net charge. More specifically, these additives belong to e.g. the classes fatty amines, alkoxylated fatty amines, amidoamines, imidazolines, pyridinium quats, and quarternary ammonium compounds like alkyl benzyl quats. Anionic molecules, predominantly phosphate esters, may sometimes also be used as stand-alone inhibitors or as enhancers in formulations with a base inhibitor of the abovementioned type.

On Defending against Calcium Carbonate and Asphaltene Deposits Using Dual-Action Diamond-Like Carbon and Polymer-Like Coatings

Product Number: 51324-20896-SG

Author: Alireza Zolfaghari; Manuel Marya; Virendra Singh

Publication Date: 2024

In searching for dual-action coatings, capable of combatting the deposition of calcium carbonate scale as well as asphaltene, three diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings, a polymer-like carbon (PLC) coating, and an engineering PPS-PTFE polymer coating were concurrently investigated for their resistance against these chemical deposits. Attempts were made to correlate surface properties, namely water contact angle and friction coefficient, with series of laboratory-made deposits generated over 72-hrs at 31 MPa and 75C by stirred and partially soluble liquids. Among all tested surfaces, deposits were successfully and repeatedly produced, and analyzed for their mass and their average adhesion (pull-off) strength. Several coatings, particularly the PLC coating, was identified for acting well against both calcium carbonate and asphaltene. A proprietary DLC coating also demonstrated beneficial effects against deposits; its high hardness and low friction coefficient also makes it particularly attractive for equipment with dynamic sealing surfaces. Finally, this short exploratory study did not establish a relationship between any type of deposition, contact angle, or friction coefficient, but proposes alternate explanations.

Over the past twenty years, additive manufacturing (AM) has gradually emerged as an important commercial manufacturing technology for the production of components, particularly complex and highvalue metallic components. AM enables the layer-by-layer rapid manufacturing of near-net shapes using 3D computer-aided design data and typically minimizes raw-material wastes.
