Benefits of Micaceous Iron Oxide, Aluminum Flake and Glass Flake Filled High Performance Coatings

Product Number: 41207-315-SG

Author: Mitch Connor, Dan Baribault

Publication Date: 2007

For several decades, engineered coatings have been used to protect steel from corrosion. Many formulas were made and tested for their ability to prevent corrosion. Changes in the formulas would include different resins, pigments, solvents and additives. In this paper, we will talk about three specific pigments, which are also commonly referred to as reinforcing pigments.

Benefits of Using Both SSPC & PDCA Standards in Project Specifications

Product Number: 41208-441-SG

Author: Burt Olhiser

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

This paper examines the authors successful experiences on some simple and very complex projects where both the coatings and environmental requirements were limited to a few pages. Being made up almost entirely of SSPC/NACE and PDCA standards that described “performance criteria” as opposed to being a prescriptive or proprietary type of specification defining what was to be used, when it was to be used and how it was to be done.

Benefits of using zinc-rich primers in offshore environments

Product Number: 51323-18932-SG

Author: Alex Yagüe Marrón

Publication Date: 2023

The nature and rate of corrosion of a metal depend upon –among other factors- the corrosivity of the environment to which it is exposed. The corrosivity category is a technical characteristic that provides a basis for the selection of materials and protective measures in different environments subject to the demands of the specific application, particularly concerning service life. Data on the corrosivity of the atmosphere is essential for the development and specification of optimized corrosion protection for manufactured products.

Bio Based Waterborne Floor Coatings with Enhanced Flow, Appearance, and Early Hardness Development

Product Number: 41215-900-SG

Author: Steve Hellems, John Willhite, Ramesh Subramanian

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

The use of sustainable materials in the flooring market has gained widespread interest in recent years. Bio based raw materials contribute significantly to these efforts and are used to prepare environmentally friendly coatings. Castor oil-based emulsions are used as polyols in waterborne polyurethane coatings. These systems have outstanding chemical resistance and good durability. But they have inherent issues like very short pot life, poor appearance / flow properties, and delayed early hardness development.

There is a sizable push for making more sustainable, renewable, and environmentally friendly fuels. One such example is the recent emphasis on manufacturing biofuels in the form of biodiesel or bio-oil. While ethanol is also considered a biofuel and likely the most widely used it will not be a focus of this discussion.

Kuwait is among the ten top oil producing countries in the world. The state run Kuwait Oil Company produces crude oil through more than 5000 wells spread across the company’s South-East, North and West Kuwait asset areas. The crude oil produced along with saline water and gases (carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide & hydrocarbon gas) is received at manifold headers at Gathering Centers (GC).

Secondary oil production involves the injection of water into the reservoir, generally known as water flooding, to increase the reservoir pressure to its initial levels, to maximize the oil recovery out of the ground. The injected water flows through the formation to flush the oil from the formation into the production system. Injection systems are the portion of the field that is responsible for injecting the water into the formation. Source of water may be lake, river or sea water.

Biocide Stability and Efficacy in Soured Oilfield Environments

Product Number: 51319-13163-SG

Author: Rishi Trivedi

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

One of the most problematic and costly microbial issues of the oil and gas industry is biotic reservoir souring. Reservoir souring can be minimized prevented by proper treatment of injection water to control sulfate-reducing bacteria. However control of this process is often lost resulting in the deleterious production of H2S in production wells. This study investigates the stability and efficacy of commonly used oil and gas biocides in a soured environment to determine their suitability for use in souring remediation.Experiments were designed to measure biocide concentration as a function of time in the presence of dissolved sulfide using high performance liquid chromatography to determine the stability of various biocides. In these experiments dissolved sulfide concentrations were also measured using methylene blue assay to understand the interaction of biocide with sulfide. Furthermore biocidal efficacy studies were performed against sulfate-reducing bacteria to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each of these biocides in soured systems using 96-well plate most probable number assay.The panel of biocides showed varying stability when exposed to the soured environment. Depending on the biocide decreases in the sulfide levels over time were also observed. Accordingly the efficacy of various biocides against planktonic bacteria also changed with corresponding changes in MIC. These results offer guidance for selection of biocides that will remain stable and efficacious in soured systems.
