Pipeline under, solids deposition deposit corrosion (UDC) is a localized corrosion phenomenon that develops beneath or around solid deposits, which settle at the bottom of low flow/intermittent flow pipelines. These deposits are complex mixtures of water, organic, inorganic, and biological materials, and their composition can vary significantly depending on the properties of the product being transported and the operating conditions in the pipeline.

Oil and gas production pipelines are susceptible to internal corrosion at locations where flow conditions promote water accumulation and solid particles settlement (precipitation). These deposits form diffusion barrier between the produced fluids and under lying substrate, which results in water chemistry near the steel surface different from that in the bulk fluids. This can potentially lead to an accelerated localized corrosion through under deposit corrosion (UDC). Successful corrosion management of UDC i s based on risk assessment, mitigation and monitoring. As a normal practice, mechanical scraping along with chemical treatment is commonly applied as the mitigation for UDC. However, for this case, installing a scraper facility was not economically viable for new pipelines connected to an ageing platform that was meant for temporary period. Therefore, an assessment was conducted to determine if solids deposition and associated corrosion risks could be completely eliminated or tolerated to an acceptable leve l for safe continuous operation before diverting the pipelines permanently and equipped with scraping facility. The assessment utilized a novel approach consisting of advanced precipitation modelling, UDC laboratory testing including solids characterizatio n in addition to flow assurance and corrosion simulation. The results showed that the overall deposition and associated corrosion risk is low. By implementing the recommended measures, these pipelines can be operated safely without scraping facilities temp orarily, after which the pipelines will be routed to future scraping facility

Potash is mined from deep underground deposits left by ancient inland seas or extracted from saltwater bodies. The typical composition of potash is 40% potassium chloride (KCl), 55% sodium chloride (NaCl) and 5% clay. About 95% of potash is used for fertilizer in agriculture; the remaining 5% is used in commercial and industrial products such as soap, water softeners, de-icers, drilling muds etc.

Sour water stripping is used to remove ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from sour water streams coming from many operation units to condition it for discharge or reuse.1-3 In a complex refinery, most of the sour water comes from distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic reforming, coker and acid gas removal units, with many other operations contributing to the balance. The different streams are usually collected in a surge tank for centralized processing via a heat exchanger and a single stripper column, or two in series.

Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) technology is a widely accepted inspection method now covered by several industry standards such as ISO(1) 20669, API(2) RP 583, and the new ASME(3) Section V (BPVC for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code), article 21. PEC is a versatile inspection technology which provides an average remaining wall thickness through insulation and coatings. The technique can also be used to safely assess the minimum remaining ligament under corrosion scabs or blisters without surface preparation. PEC is resilient to liftoff variations and provides volumetric measurements of remaining material. It is capable of both detecting and assessing general corrosion on the outer surface of the pipes such as scabs and blisters, and detecting erosion or Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) on the inner surface.
