Opportunistic Compilation Of ECDA, ILI, And Hydrostatic Testing For Successful Pipeline Uprating: Case Study

Product Number: 51322-17480-SG

Author: Paul S. Young

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The annual natural gas demand in the United States surpassed 31 trillion cubic feet in 2019. This is over a 500% increase from demand in the 1950’s (5.7 trillion cubic feet) [1]. As gas demand continues to rise, pipeline operators have limited options to meet demand requirements. Pressure uprating is one option that can be leveraged for certain pipelines to meet the increased demand economically.

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

As a Central source for water distribution, emergency services, and communications transmission, the Penn Avenue Tower represents a focal point for the City of Richfield, Minnesota. The 1.5-million-gallon water tower is a multi-column elevated style tank located in a residential and commercial business area on shared property with the City’s No. 2 Fire Station. An engineering evaluation identified the need for complete replacement and maintenance repair of exterior and interior coating systems, along with accessory modifications.

Pipeline Coatings-Chapter 3: Development of Pipeline Coatings

Product Number: 37616-Ch03

$75.00

The evolution and development of pipeline coating technology can be traced to the 1940s and continues to be of global interest. The industry's understanding of pipeline coatings has evolved to a stage that delivers a comprehensive review of the scientific, technical, and practical aspect of pipeline coatings.

AMPP's best-selling title Pipeline Coatings covers all of that as well as defining a pipeline integrity management (PIM) program that includes five steps to maximize integrity and safety.

Chapter 3 of Pipeline Coatings, "Development of Pipeline Coatings," focuses on the oil and gas industry. Generally, pipeline coatings are divided into two categories--plant applied and field-applied coatings. Chapter 3 describes primary coatings in both categories including coal tar, asphalt, liquid epoxy, and many more.

Pipings’ Kryptonite: Understanding Repair Options for Piping with Section Loss

Product Number: 41216-973-SG

Author: David A. Hunter

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The sheer volume of piping systems, both insulated and non-insulated, is daunting. Companies, in order to deal with limited inspection resources, have resorted to risk-based strategies in order to prioritize inspection of such systems. By the time surfaces and systems are inspected, they often exhibit wall loss, or pitting corrosion on surfaces. Piping is only as strong as the wall thickness of the original design. When corrosion reduces wall thickness to a minimum required thickness for the given pressure, actions must be taken.

Polyols for Improved Durability of Pipeline Coatings

Product Number: 51220-300-SG

Author: Sarah Wolek, Michael E. O’Brien, Jeff Janos

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

The durability of a coating can be described in a simplified manner as how well it adheres to the substrate and how well it performs over time once exposed to the environment. Oil and gas pipeline coatings need to withstand exposure to both mechanical and chemical forces for long periods of time to extend the life of the pipeline. A new class of 100% solids polyester polyols have been developed which can offer improved performance in urethane coating applications compared to other common protective systems such as epoxies, aspartics and solventborne polyesters

Polyurea Clarified

Product Number: 51218-086-SG

Author: Benny Abbott, Kim Krueger

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

The use of an Aromatic Polyurea lining in an effluent wastewater clarifier tank in Idaho in the Spring of 2017. This clarifier is owned by one of the world’s largest privately held companies with a proven track record in the Wastewater Industry. The clarifier is constructed out of carbon steel for the wall sections with about 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) of surface area. The floor of the clarifier is concrete and was not coated during the project as the coating on the concrete floor was still in good overall condition.

Polyurea for Potable Water – Overcoming Structural Challenges for a Successful Waterproof Lining System

Product Number: 41208-410-SG

Author: Michael C. Durbin, Sue Schroeder

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

In the early 1900’s, a small community in the mountains of western Maryland, installed two potable water tanks that were open top and below grade. Over the years, they began leaking water into the basements of nearby residences, so several upgrades to the tanks were planned. The upgrades included the addition of metal dome roofs, electronic security systems with fencing, and a waterproof lining system. Contractors were invited to view the facility and bid the lining system while the tanks were still in service – first mistake

Potential Theory Applied to Cathodic Protection Design, 2nd Edition

Product Number: 37694-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-495-5

Author: Rogelio de las Casas, Ronald Bianchetti

Publication Date: 2024

$155.00

NEW! The first edition of Potential Theory Applied to Cathodic Protection Design showcases the mathematical development of analytical equations for the design of cathodic protection (CP) systems for underground structures with anode groundbeds having various configurations. Equations include calculations for the resistance and voltage (potential) to assist the CP design engineer.

This second edition has several important changes including updates on integral and analytic solutions for horizontal anodes in the same trench, an approach that was insufficiently developed in the first edition.

Also new for the second edition is an index for enhanced reader experience.

Other updates include:

•Generalization of groundbed resistance combining the equation for anodes with different length and depth, with the equation for different distance between anodes.

•Calculation of anode’s current in a groundbed, based on the crowding factor.

•Generalization of groundbed resistance combining the equation for anodes with different length and depth, with the equation for different distance between anodes.

•Calculation of anode’s current in a groundbed, based on the crowding factor.

•By means of the use of integral formulations, particularizes the use of the APM for any combination of underground anode systems.
