Thickness Does Matter - The Use of Thick Linings In Industrial Applications

Product Number: 41205-186-SG

Author: Bharat Naik, Marty Seigel, Michael Babiarz, Phil Kennedy,

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

While a coating is typically measured in mils, a lining typically refers to an application of 1/16 inch or thicker. Certain industrial applications are best served through the use of a thick lining with unique physical properties that provide superior resistance against abrasion, impact, chemicals, and corrosion.

Thinning Of Inlet Piping To Reactor Effluent Air Condenser [REAC] Of Gas Oil Hydrotreating Unit - Case Study

Product Number: 51322-18007-SG

Author: Sudharsanan Soundararajan

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Gas Oil Hydrotreating Unit uses a catalytic hydrotreating process employing a selective catalyst and a hydrogen-rich gas stream to decompose organic sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen compounds contained in the feed. The products of these reactions are the contaminant free hydrocarbon, along with H₂S and NH₃. Other Treating reactions include halide removal and aromatic saturation. Reactor effluent is cooled in series of Combined Feed Exchangers followed by REAC for product separation. The reactor effluent system is prone for corrosion and fouling due to salting of NH₄HS and NH₄Cl. Most of the failure analysis studies and literature available in public domain regarding reactor effluent corrosion deals with the corrosion in the REAC and its outlet piping.

Thiourea Derivatives As Steel Corrosion Inhibitors: Density Functional Theory and Experimental Studies

Product Number: 51319-13317-SG

Author: Venkata Muralidhar K

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Thiourea and its derivatives have been studied for several decades for their corrosion inhibition characteristics with steels. However their interaction mechanisms with steel are not well understood. Such an understanding may be vital for design of novel thiourea derivatives as corrosion inhibitors for steels. We have carried out state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) computations and experiments (weightloss polarization and electrochemical impedance) to understand the effect of thioureas on corrosion of steel. The interactions of several thiourea derivatives viz. thiourea dibutyl thiourea acetyl thiourea diphenyl thiourea tetramethyl thiourea and ethylene thiourea have been investigated. DFT indicates strong interactions between Fe atoms of the surface and C S - atoms of the molecule while the N-atoms do not show any significant proclivity towards interactions with the Fe-surface. Among the hollow on-top and bridge sites on the Fe-surface S-atom was found to preferentially occupy the bridge site which facilitates formation of two strong Fe-S bonds which possibly explains the strong corrosion inhibition by thioureas on steels. Besides DFT computations provided insights for design of much more promising molecules for corrosion inhibition. Experimentally dibutyl thiourea was found to have an extraordinary inhibition effect for steel in 1N HCl in accordance with DFT computations.Keywords: Corrosion inhibitors thiourea derivatives DFT experiments

Third Generation Polysiloxane Coatings For Elevated Temperature; Field Performance

Product Number: 51322-18044-SG

Author: James Reynolds, Peter Bock

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a well-known industrial problem that has been plaguing asset owners for decades. CUI presents one of the costliest corrosion factors for Oil and Gas, petrochemical and general processing industries and can result in unplanned shutdowns, maintenance, repairs or even explosions while in service. Due to the risk factors present, many methods to prevent CUI have been adopted, trying to find best practices to minimize the risk of potentially catastrophic events caused by CUI.

Thirty Days to Coat a Bridge - How a Contractor met a Short Deadline, Reduced Project Coasts Through Energy-Efficient Air Treatment Equipment

Product Number: 41209-518-SG

Author: Dave Wikoff

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

Desiccant dehumidification technology has transformed itself into a sophisticated and mainstream method that is used in many blasting and coating applications today. Utilizing temporary dehumidification and remote monitoring equipment for a blast and coating operation for the Onslow Beach Bridge allowed the project to be completed in 30 days – twice as fast as is typical for the type of project. This paper also will discuss how a contractor realized significant fuel savings due to the use of energy-efficient equipment.

Threshold Sand Rates Detected by Acoustic Sand Monitors in Multiphase Flow Production

Product Number: 51323-19100-SG

Author: Asad Nadeem, Ronald E. Vieira, Siamack A. Shirazi

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

In the oil and gas industry sand production is a major cause of erosion which can badly affect production rates because of damage to surface and subsurface facilities and equipment such as pumps, valves, elbows and pipelines. In past few years, research work on sand production has been conducted in different ways including erosion prediction, and control and sand monitoring to prevent sand production and its damages to facilities. The continuous monitoring of sand in the flow stream is extremely useful to minimize erosion damage to the production facilities.

Time is Money: Improving Shop & Field Painting Throughput by Reducing Finish Coat Handling Time

Product Number: 41211-595-SG

Author: Benjamin Fultz, William D. Corbett, Kurt Best

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Handling and transportation of finish coated steel from the fabrication shop to the project site is impacted by the length of time that the finish coat must dry. Known as shop-field throughput, a reduction in the dry time required prior to handling (without compromising performance), as well as a minimization of handling damage can greatly reduce project costs.
