The Next Generation of Double Bottom Tank Cathodic Protection

Product Number: 51319-12924-SG

Author: Lou Koszewski

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

A new and innovative method has been developed to allow for cathodic protection of the upper / new tank bottom in a double bottom tank. When two steel tank bottoms are in electrical contact with each other the lower tank bottom acts as an electrical shield to cathodic protection (CP) current external from the tank. By electrically isolating the new / upper tank bottom from the old tank bottom and old dead shell CP current can then flow right through the old tank bottom to cathodically protect the upper / new tank bottom. The old tank bottom and dead shell become essentially transparent. Non-conductive type release prevention membranes were required to be used in the past between the old tank bottom and upper / new tank bottom to prevent the galvanic affects of new steel / old steel corrosion. A conductive type of release prevention barrier can now be utuilized to provide leak prevention without the concern of new steel /old steel galvanic corrosion occuring between the two tank bottoms. Significant advantages occur by electrically isolating the upper / new tank bottom away from the old tank bottom and dead shell of which the most significant is that CP current can always pass through the old tank bottom eliminating the problems and concerns of consumed CP systems between the tank bottoms. Cathodic Protection data from two tanks incorporating this new and innovative method will be discussed.

The Next Generation of High Build Alphatic Moisture Cure Coatings

Product Number: 41210-561-SG

Author: Ahren Olson

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

The next generation of aliphatic moisture cure urethane (MCU) topcoats has been developed through new resin development and advancements in MCU formulation knowledge. These new MCU coatings drastically improve upon current commercial aliphatic MCU topcoats, which are typically applied between 2-3 mils DFT.

The Next Step in Solar Reflectance Testing for Roofing Products

Product Number: 41213-763-SG

Author: Matthew Lendzinski, Joseph Rokowski

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

When it comes to roofing, after the expected service life of individual products, the most common attribute that is used to describe the performance is often the solar reflectivity. Solar reflectivity is the percentage of solar energy that is reflected from the roof surface instead of being absorbed into the roof and building as a whole.

The NH-ME Metallized Memorial Bridge

Product Number: 51322-17837-SG

Author: Jerry S. Zoller

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Metallizing in NH was a coating used only sparingly in the past at critical locations on two major bridges. Its greater use was severely limited by the lack of qualified applicators, absence from bridge fabricator operations, and overall excessive cost. This picture changed dramatically with the impetus of the new metallized Memorial Bridge project and the massive investment in metallizing equipment at a large local bridge fabricator that made metallizing possible for this bridge. The successful use and ten-year performance of the thermal spray coating (TSC), i.e. metallizing, on this bridge has had a significant impact on metallized New England bridges to

The Optimized Inspection Approaches of PSA Adsorber Weldment Integrity with the Buried Cracks

Product Number: 51324-20689-SG

Author: Seokmin Kim; Yunjo Ro; Dongsik Lee

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

The weldments in PSA adsorbers have been examined by several non-destructive examination (NDE) methods, and then the metallurgical examinations were followed by NDE to confirm the nature of defects. Time of flight diffraction (TOFD), manual ultrasonic testing (UT), and phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) were employed to determine the location and size of defects inside of the weldments. Then, many crack-like defects were found in the weldments, and all of them were transverse defects with various sizes and orientations. To understand the nature of crack-like defects, we destructively examined the defects using the metallurgical characterization tools. The defects were found to be in two types: a chevron(1) and a vertical transverse crack. It has been conjectured that the chevron crack was caused by hydrogen during the welding process. And the vertical transverse crack was originated from the small defect that occurred in the weldment during the manufacturing of the vessel. In response to the occurrence of these defects, the effectiveness of manufacturing and in-service inspections was evaluated, and an inspection strategy for aged and future PSA adsorbers has been established. The details of NDE and metallurgical studies and the newly established inspection policy will be discussed in the proceedings.

The Path towards More Consistent Evaluation of Corrosion Inhibitors Used in the Oil and Gas Industry

Product Number: 51324-20702-SG

Author: Trevor Place; Sankara Papavinasam

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper provides an overview of various properties influencing efficacy of corrosion inhibitors including transportability, efficiency, availability, and secondary inhibitor properties (TEAS); highlights various standards available to evaluate these properties; describes status of implementation of these standards; emphasizes the importance of developing standard test methods; identifies the gaps in evaluating inhibitor efficacy; and elaborates an industry effort underway to fill the gaps and to develop standard test methods on corrosion inhibitor evaluation, selection, application, and monitoring.

The Path Towards More Consistent Evaluation of Corrosion Inhibitors Used in the Oil and Gas Industry

Product Number: MECC23-20250-SG

Author: Sankara Papavinasam, Ph. D., FNACE, FASTM; Trevor Place, P. Eng.

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Time-tested and proven methods to control corrosion of oil and gas industry infrastructures (pipelines, facilities, and refineries) include the use of appropriate materials, protective coatings, cathodic protection (CP), and corrosion inhibitors.

Criteria for evaluation, qualification, and selection of materials, coatings and application of CP are
quantitative and are typically followed rigorously (Table 1). Standards on these quantitative criteria are established, and in many cases have been adopted by regulatory authorities.

As traditional reserves deplete onshore and offshore, the oil industry is moving into increasingly deeper waters and harsh environments in the pursuit of hydrocarbons. As the industry drills deeper, the challenges that face infrastructure increase markedly with the longstanding issues of corrosion. One of the major challenges to corrosion management is the extreme pressure and temperature.

The Performance of Phenolic Epoxy Coating after Thermal Exposure for Corrosion Protection in Marine Environments

Author: S. Ahmed, T. Becker, Y. Hou, K. Lepkova, T. Pojtanabuntoeng

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Organic coating is the most widely used method of corrosion protection. its corrosion protective abilities depend on physical, chemical and mechanical properties including adhesion to a substrate and essential barrier properties against corrosive species, such as water and oxygen. The durability of corrosion protection coatings is evaluated based on their effectiveness in providing long-term protection to metallic substrates when these materials are exposed to aggressive corrosion environments.

The Performance of Waterborne Acrylic Coatings in an Accelerated Testing Protocol

Product Number: 41206-226-SG

Author: Colleen Campbell, Leo J. Procopio

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Traditionally, a zinc-rich primer, epoxy midcoat and polyurethane topcoat have been the standard 3-coat solvent borne system used for coating structural steel, such as in the maintenance of bridges. This study describes the performance of waterborne acrylic coating systems in an accelerated testing protocol including corrosion resistance and cyclic weathering. A comparison of systems based solely on waterborne acrylic coatings, as well as hybrid systems (e.g., zinc rich primer with waterborne topcoats), to the industry standard will be discussed.
