Specifying Concrete Coating Projects in Water and Wastewater Treatment Structures

Product Number: 41215-915-SG

Author: Manuel Najar

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

There are several design factors that need to be considered when specifying coatings in water and wastewater concrete structures. Issues include treating surfaces with exposed aggregate, with a low pH, and exposed reinforcing steel. This paper will present three examples of important design considerations based on field experiences that can avert lining performance problems and impacts on a project schedule or budget. Specific examples from a number of projects will be used to illustrate these design considerations.

Speed up Your Dry Film Thickness Measurements Using a Scanning Probe

Product Number: 41214-818-SG

Author: JF Fletcher

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Time is money and the ability to speed up the process of taking and analyzing coating thickness readings will always pay dividends in reducing inspection costs. Scanning an area of painted steel will always be quicker than taking individual readings but there was always the danger of wearing the probe and reducing its life.

Spherical Tank External Coating Simplified Strong Teamwork

Product Number: 41206-255-SG

Author: Robert G. Johnson

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The goal of this presentation is to highlight the teamwork exhibited by a quality driven facility owner who led an outsourced contract team consisting of pre-qualified contractors, material suppliers, and certified technical service specialists as independent third-party inspectors, to provide external protective coatings to a set of six spherical tanks encompassing approximately 100,000 s.f. each.

Splash Zone Coating Performance after Long Term Offshore Exposure

Product Number: 51323-19143-SG

Author: Anette Pedersen, Kari Lønvik, Erik Krogstad Sverre, Lars Lichtenstein, Anders W. B. Skilbred, Andreas Løken

Publication Date: 2023

Following the worlds growing need for sustainable energy solutions, offshore wind farms are important contributions to the generation of renewable energy. One key element for a profitable and sustainable operation of offshore wind farms is that the installations are protected with the most cost-effective corrosion protective solution for the entire lifetime. In practice, this means that today’s projects are planned with an estimated lifetime of a minimum of 25 years without major maintenance of the corrosion protective solution.

Split Chamber Zero Resistance Ammetry Technique (SC-ZRA) For Detecting And Quantifying Microbially Influenced Corrosion In Oil And Gas Systems

Product Number: 51322-18191-SG

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is one of the most aggressive forms of corrosion leading to infrastructure and equipment damage in various industries, including but not limited to the oil and gas industry,¹ water systems,² medical devices,³ marine environments,⁴ nuclear waste storage facilities,⁵ and aviation fuel systems⁶ and storage.⁷ MIC received great attention because of the increasing cost associated with corrosion damage, particularly in oil and gas industry. The overall cost of corrosion has been estimated to be approximately 3.4% in the global Gross National Product⁸ which equates to approximately $2.9 trillion in 2018.⁹ A conservative estimate shows that 20% of all corrosion in aqueous system is MIC,¹⁰ which accounts to billions of dollars in the US.

Spot Painting as a Bridge Preservation Tool

Product Number: 41214-835-SG

Author: Bobby W. Meade, Sudhir Palle, Theodore Hopwood II

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

One of the, if not the most, vexing problems for bridge maintenance personnel is the deterioration of bridge components below leaking joints. The joints may be open or closed, construction or expansion, but all seemingly leak shortly after construction or resealing. The bridge components affected by the leaking joints may be steel or concrete, but the end result is the same, deterioration.

Spray Polyurea System for Challenging Applications

Product Number: 41211-625-SG

Author: Mario Lefebvre

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

The polyurea technology has been developed by Texaco chemical in the 80’s. First developed for the reaction-injection-molding (RIM), it has been adapted for spray application. The development in the spray equipment in the 90’s has enabled the commercialization of 100% solid polyurea spray elastomeric coatings.

Spray-On Ceramic Insulation Up To 450C And Encapsulating Existing Corrosion Without Sandblast

Product Number: 41213-776-SG

Author: Joseph Pritchett

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

In the late part of the 1980’s, the inventor worked with the reflective coating companies that made “NASA ceramic paints”. During this time that he worked with the reflective companies, he learned that the formulas used for reflective paints were not made from NASA technology and were only good for light reflection. When the coatings became dirty or tarnished, the coatings did not reflect heat.

Spring Failure at North Sea Valve (NSV)

Product Number: 51323-19367-SG

Author: Matheus Biava, Gustavo Brandolin, Nathalia Mota

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The function of the NSV (hose-end non-return valve, first used in the North Sea) is to create a safety
connection between the FPSO and the shuttle tanker during mooring and oil transfer. This connection
is made using the Loading System at the Bow of the tanker vessel through the BLS (Bow Loading
System). After carrying out all necessary checklist and communicating with the tanker, the marine crew
from FPSO start to pay the offloading mooring cable that connects on Dynamic Positioning Shuttle
Tanker (DPST).
