Is the Heat and Pressure of Formulating Coatings for the Oil and Gas Market Getting to You?

Is the Heat and Pressure of Formulating Coatings for the Oil and Gas Market Getting to You?
Available for download

Many protective coatings markets have recently seen high demand for higher performing coatings or linings. For example, with enhanced oil recovery, many more assets are now used throughout these processes from the oil / water separation tanks to the acid injectors. The temperatures are higher and corrosive environments are more severe. Formulation chemists are working hard at trying to push the extent of the performance of typical resin systems, but it seems that most of the development has been done and the extent of the performance available has been maximized.

Many protective coatings markets have recently seen high demand for higher performing coatings or linings. For example, with enhanced oil recovery, many more assets are now used throughout these processes from the oil / water separation tanks to the acid injectors. The temperatures are higher and corrosive environments are more severe. Formulation chemists are working hard at trying to push the extent of the performance of typical resin systems, but it seems that most of the development has been done and the extent of the performance available has been maximized. But before throwing in the towel and going to expensive alloys…maybe something was overlooked. The following paper will look at how to formulate for high performance properties, in particular, high temperature immersion applications with epoxy thermoset coatings and the impact of formulation additives on achieving this performance. The data presented will show how the least amount of the formulation can have a significant impact on coating performance. More specifically, it will be shown that with proper dispersant selection, the viscosity of the coating system can be reduced leading to increased filler loadings and ultimately higher performance. Furthermore, data will show how going through a step-by-step formulating process, from resin selection to choosing the right defoamer, can provide for higher performing coatings than typically seen with the selected chemistries.

It does not take one with too much intelligence to note that our infrastructure is in dire shape. Not only does this include our water & wastewater areas, but our road and bridge systems need substantial help. Deterioration due to environmental issues, water and chemicals that are used which cause for serious corrosion and erosion concerns. Over the years, a variety of methods have been employed to help with these issues, but all have individual characteristics and problems.

Industry constantly seeks improved methods to evaluate protective coatings. In immersion service, protective coatings act to reduce electrochemical activity at the metal/coating interface. Tracking this activity via the use of segmented panel testing appears to offer additional insight into coating performance that may aid in coating design and predicting longer-term performance.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines abrasive blasting as “using compressed air or water to direct a high-velocity stream of an abrasive material to clean an object or surface, remove burrs, apply a texture or prepare a surface for the application of paint or other type of coating.” OSHA regulations governing General Industry, Construction, and Shipyards mandate the use of abrasive-blast respirators approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Blast respirators are Type-CE supplied-air respirators, commonly known as “blast helmets.” This article will review and explain the components and the requirements pertaining to the use of these respirators.
