Electronic Management of Paint Records - Paperless QA

Product Number: 41214-860-SG

Author: James G. Taylor, Jr.

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

The previous quality control process at Newport News Shipbuilding for recording surface preparation, paint application, and associated inspections used a paper system. These records required a vast amount of physical storage space, were difficult to research and track due to the complexity of the records often consisting of multiple sheets of data. To address these problems along with others that contribute to inadequate maintenance of objective quality evidence, the company decided to take the initiative in resolving this issue by developing a paperless QA system.

Elevated Temperature Effects of Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Containing Nitrogen-Based

Product Number: 51323-19291-SG

Publication Date: 2023

Global demand for hydrogen is growing, increasing to 94 MT in 2021. Most of that consumption came from refining, ammonia and methanol production and direct iron-ore reduction for steel making, but 40 kT was for new applications. Numerous projects around the world have established ambitious goals for increasing hydrogen utilization by 2030 (potentially to around 115 MT), across multiple sectors, including industry, transportation and power.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has allowed for the rapid prototyping of parts and the ability to control the structure of a material and, to a lesser extent, the microstructure. AM as applied to metals, as stainless steel is especially promising as it provides the ability to produce complex shaped components rapidly. Laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is one such technique in which the part is formed from the base up by fusing successive layers of powder. As each layer is fused, the print plate moves down and a new layer of metallic powder is swept over the top. A laser then welds this layer to the top of the existing piece and the process repeats.1 However, AM can result in non-equilibrium microstructures, porosity, and residual stresses that could affect the longevity of the material and performance in corrosive conditions.

Enabling Carbon Steel With A Special scCO2 Corrosion Inhibitor – A Field Study

In recent years the oil and gas industry has made significant commitments to carbon reduction.¹ Aligned with the goal of decreasing carbon emissions the authors have developed a corrosion inhibitor (CI-1) that is intended to protect scCO₂ systems that are wet or water contaminated (1000 ppm).² The development and composition of this corrosion inhibitor (CI) for dry scCO₂ is reported elsewhere.^2,3 While chemical companies have been treating high water cut, production enhanced, CO₂ floods (i.e. enhanced oil recovery [EOR]) for several decades there were no inhibitors designed specifically for CO₂ disposal systems or wet scCO₂ systems producing CO2 for sale.⁴

The next phase of a global energy transition is hinging closely on finding fuel sources with substantially reduced carbon footprint. One way of doing so is to enable the use of Hydrogen (H2) rather than natural gas while still maintaining the existing legacy transport pipeline infrastructure. The presence of hydrogen in natural gas blend has been shown to cause weakening of steel even at extremely low concentrations and steps must be taken to mitigate the presence of hydrogen. Although embrittlement can be mitigated using specific metal alloys, the extensive cost of such retrofitting (up to $4.7M per mile) has made this economically unfeasible. One option that could substantially reduce this cost by as much as 90% is the use of new liners or barrier materials to limit the ability of hydrogen to diffuse into the steel. One such material coating that claims a unique combination of a “low-surface energy,” chemical- and abrasion-resistant topcoat material combined with a highly gas-impermeable and corrosion-resistant but physically fragile base layer is evaluated in this paper. This composite structure allows for the material to have sufficient mechanical strength to be field deployable in a typical pipeline environment. This work describes the establishment and use of a new experimental laboratory setup designed to test the effect of a nanocomposite material deposited onto legacy steel grades such as X52 and X70. The high-pressure, high-temperature mechanical testing bed could simulate all environmental conditions that a future pipeline would face hydrogen/methane blends anywhere from 0 – 100% temperature exceeding 200°C and pressures between up to 2000psi. Facilities capable of safely and controllably testing how metals react in the presence of hydrogen fuel blends will be essential to the industry as the demand for establishing new standards for hydrogen energy transport grows. This case study demonstrates how one might go about designing and testing a novel coating or surface treatment material, and will discuss whether such coatings are viable solutions, and where improvements need to be made.

Endospore Production in Response to Microbiocides in the Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion Implicated Genus Clostridium

Product Number: 51319-13126-SG

Author: Jodi Wrangham

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Endospore-producing bacteria are often detected in oilfield produced waters via 16S rRNA identification. Although prevalent in oilfield brines little is known about their significance and potential implications on microbial control efforts. The presence of noxious chemicals and subsequent chemical damage can force a capable cell into an endospore a dormant structure that preserves the cellular genetic material. As extracellular conditions improve such as the dilution or removal of antimicrobials the endospore again becomes a vegetative cell. These endospores are largely impervious to and are not readily eradicated by antimicrobial agents. Here commonly used microbiocide chemistries are applied in differing concentrations and contact times in order to evaluate the cellular response scored as cell survival endospore formation or cell death. Outcomes were determined utilizing the schaeffer-fulton method for endospore staining and a fluorescence assay of bacterial viability based upon membrane integrity. Treatments are applied to cultured Bacillus subtilis the laboratory model organism commonly utilized to study endospore formation as well as unadulterated produced water containing members of the Phylum Firmicutes including the endospore capable Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Results indicate that the presence of a large population of endospore-forming bacteria may explain the failure of some microbiocide applications.
