PRE-ORDER TODAY:
When failures and incidents occur, corrosion nearly always emerges as the primary culprit, whether the failures are minor or major. Major incidents, naturally, magnify the consequences and have a significant impact on Health, Safety, and the Environment (HSE), as well as other factors such as:
- Workplace injuries or fatalities
- Environmental pollution
- Property and equipment damage
- Production downtime
- Legal repercussions
- Economical losses
- Reputational harm
To prevent failures and their associated problems, it is crucial for engineers and professionals worldwide to share their experiences and the identified root causes for failures. Collaborative efforts can help raise awareness and prompt organizations to take necessary precautions, implement corrosion control measures, and thereby reducing the likelihood of catastrophic failures while ensuring the integrity of assets.
It is in that spirit, this title readers will gain insights into the effects of microorganisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria, iron-reducing bacteria, and methanogens on internal corrosion in piping, the intricacies of coatings applications and lining damages in pipelines, investigations into erosion corrosion in wells, and the complexities of alternating current-cathodic protection failures.
