Galvanizing ‘As Easy as A123

Product Number: 41207-372-SG

Author: Frank D. Rea

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

The first written record of galvanizing describes how a French chemist named Melouin presented a method of coating iron by immersing it in molten zinc to the French Royal Academy in 1742. Sorel, another French chemist patented a process for coating iron with zinc after preparing it with 9% sulfuric acid followed by fluxing with ammonium chloride. Great Britain granted a patent for a similar process in 1837. By 1850, galvanizing had become a generally accepted practice for the protection of iron and steel with 10,000 tons of zinc per year used for the protection steel.

Gearbox Corrosion Mitigation During Storage and Intermittent Operation

Product Number: 51324-20747-SG

Author: Pavlo Solntsev; James Holden

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Gearboxes are one of the most critical pieces of equipment in a plant. Downtime because of gearbox failure can significantly impact manufacture and be very costly. An additional inventory of spare gearboxes is needed to minimize the effect of the loss. All gearboxes operating and during storage are susceptible to corrosion due to moisture condensation on the metal surfaces. The work describes oil additives that protect gearboxes during operation, layup, and warehouse storage. As was proved, the corrosion can be mitigated by adding a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) to the system. The testing methodology to verify the effectiveness of the oil additives, as well as compatibility with the base oil, was presented. Based on the present work, a specification for gearbox preservation during storage was developed.

General Corrosion Mitigation of Carbon Steel Using Corrosion-Inhibiting Oil as Possible Solution for Hydrostatic Testing of Product Tanks

Product Number: 51324-20939-SG

Author: Ivan Stojanovic; Vesna Alar; Boris Miksic; Ivana Borsic; Marin Kurtela

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

The main material for product tank production is carbon steel, which is generally resistant to corrosion in crude oil, but prone when it comes in contact with water contained in basic sediment or hydrostatic testing media. The corrosion shortens the life of the tank and can cause leaks which pose a danger to public health and safety and to the environment. Special attention should be addressed to bare surfaces of the tanks when mild steel is in direct contact with water, such as during hydrostatic testing. This paper examines the usage of corrosion inhibiting oil as a float coat for short-term general corrosion mitigation of carbon steel tanks during the hydrostatic testing with sea water. The corrosion inhibiting oil floats on the surface of the water and forms a protective layer in contact with internal tank walls thus preventing the direct contact of sea water with bare tank surfaces. The anticorrosion properties were evaluated by means of electrochemical polarization testing. The carbon steel samples were protected by corrosion-inhibiting oil and exposed to pure sea water, sea water inhibited by oxygen scavenger, and sea water inhibited by oxygen scavenger and treated with biocide, which are all possible hydrostatic testing media. The tested corrosion-inhibiting oil showed significant mitigation properties of general corrosion of the carbon steel samples.

General Corrosion versus Temperature Trends for Austenitic Stainless Steels with Various Surface Finishes

Product Number: 51319-12914-SG

Author: Michael LeClair

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The corrosion behavior of austenitic stainless steels (UNS S30400/S30403 S30800) with machined electropolished or temper filmed surfaces was tested in deaerated pH adjusted water at 500F 550F and 620F for up to 10000 hours. Test specimens were subsequently analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction Auger Electron Spectroscopy and Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis to determine oxide composition thickness and structure. The resultant corrosion rate of the machined specimens exhibited an inverse temperature dependency with the rates decreasing by an order of magnitude from the lowest to the highest test temperature. Corrosion of electropolished specimens was only slightly sensitive to temperature effects and was similar to machined specimens at the highest temperature. Temper filmed materials had distinct phases of slow or rapid corrosion with different durations depending on the test temperature. Corrosion films on all specimens consisted of varying degrees of iron-rich spinel crystals covering a smooth layer of chromium-rich oxide most likely Fe3O4 and/or FeCr2O4 with some (CrFe)2O3. The temper films consisted of Cr2O3 which persisted throughout the test. The elemental composition of the films particularly the nickel content varied with increasing temperature.Key words: Corrosion austenitic stainless steel electropolish temper film oxide

Genome-Resolved Metagenomics Enables Method Optimization for Microbiological Oilfield Monitoring

Product Number: 51319-13442-SG

Author: Joseph Moore

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The oil and gas industry’s efforts to characterize microbial communities in oilfield process fluids has shed increasing light on the influence of bacteria and archaea on hydrocarbon production. Notably topside or downhole water contamination by prokaryotes such as sulfate-reducing bacteria acid-producing bacteria and/or other halophiles can negatively impact asset integrity and reduce the quality and/or quantity of produced oil and gas. Molecular microbiology methods have contributed to our understanding of these complex processes by providing unprecedented resolution of resident microbial communities. However a lack of methodological consistency among industry and academic laboratories studying microbiological processes in oilfield systems has precluded the industry’s ability to discern broad cause-and-effect trends or compare results across laboratories. For example there exists no standard primer set for 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing agreed upon by the oil and gas community.Recently Dow Microbial Control and The Ohio State University partnered to perform a comprehensive microbial audit of multiple unconventional upstream operations. Over the course of the audit samples were systematically taken during drilling throughout completions and periodically over the first year of production. Produced water samples were submitted for whole-genome metagenomic sequencing and assembly with near-complete genomes for input microbes and reservoir-colonizing microbes subsequently resolved. By creating this genome-resolved metagenomic dataset we removed the PCR bias of any given 16S primer set allowing for comparison and curation of common 16S rRNA gene primer sets and elucidation of the most appropriate sequencing methodology for oilfield samples. Ultimately the use of validated molecular microbiological methods among the oilfield industry will more quickly advance our understanding of microbiological processes in these systems.

Geopolymer Lining of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Sanitary Sewer Pipes

Product Number: 51319-13177-SG

Author: Joe Royer

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

While sewer renewal technologies currently being used for the repair replacement and/or rehabilitation of deteriorating wastewater collection systems are generally effective there is still room for improvement of existing technologies and for the development of new technologies. Many utilities are seeking innovative rehabilitation technologies particularly for large-diameter pipes. However information about these emerging technologies is not always readily available. As part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)’s Aging Water Infrastructure Program a field demonstration program of innovative rehabilitation technologies was initiated with the purpose of: (1) gathering reliable performance and cost data for new technologies; and (2) making the capabilities of these technologies better known to the industry. This paper describes the demonstration of an innovative spray-applied fiber-reinforced geopolymer mortar for rehabilitating a 60-in. reinforced concrete pipe approximately 25 ft deep in Houston TX. The demonstration section was 165 ft of severely deteriorated pipe that terminated at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Unique aspects of this project included: (a) the use of an innovative and emerging large-diameter structural rehabilitation technology on a severely deteriorated pipe located beneath a large open stormwater channel; (b) an independent third-party assessment of the technology; and (c) difficult flow control issues at the WWTP.
