CorrCompilation: Advancements for Control of Inorganic Scale, Volume 4 (e-book)

Product Number: 37651-e

ISBN: 978-1-57590-394-1

Author: edited by Wayne W. Frenier, FNACE

Publication Date: 2019

$125.00

This CorrCompilation series focuses primarily on equilibrium-formed scales, where an aqueous fluid changes from an unsaturated equilibrium state to a saturated and supersaturated state and then solids may start to form. These types of fouling minerals include alkaline earth salts, silicates, alkaline salts (NaCl), sulfides, and under specific circumstances, metal sulfide salts that form through equilibrium changes. While corrosion product scales are not the subject of this book, the importance of corrosion product layers to the deposition of other scales will be described.

Since this is a CorrCompilation and more than 90 copies of NACE papers are attached, the work is published in four volumes. The editor, Wayne W. Frenier, FNACE, provides an extensive introduction to each volume, offering the reader a thorough mix of history, theory, and engineering techniques and methods for addressing scale.

Volume 1: Introduction to Equipment Subject to Inorganic Scale

Volume 2: Current Mechanisms for Understanding Inorganic Scale Formation and Deposition

Volume 3: Chemistry and Application of Scale Inhibitors

Volume 4: Alternative Methods of Scale Control

This fourth volume, "Alternative Methods of Scale Control," reviews methods for controlling inorganic scale that provide alternatives to chemical SI methods or those that may be used with SIs to enhance management for an entire connected system. The first sections (1 and 2) describe non-chemical methods such as anti-scaling surfaces and electronic methods for reducing scale deposition.

Corrosion Under Insulation And Atmospheric Corrosion In The Refinery Industry. An Accurate Approach To Estimate Corrosion Growth Rates, A Texas Refinery Case Study

Product Number: 51322-17751-SG

Author: Bernardo Cuervo, Mark McQueen

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

External corrosion in uninsulated pipelines is normally able to be prevented by cathodic protection (CP). Generally, external corrosion on buried pipelines cannot occur if CP current is getting onto the pipe. CP is an electrochemical means of corrosion control in which the oxidation reaction in a galvanic cell is concentrated at the anode and suppresses corrosion of the cathode (pipe) in the same cell. For instance, to make a pipeline a cathode, an anode is attached to it.

IOW Analysis With Installed UT Sensors: How Process Changes Impact Corrosion Rates

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Many asset owners struggle to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion rates due to unreliable inspection data. Facilities worldwide are tasked with monitoring thousands of Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs) with established NDE techniques such as manual ultrasonic testing and radiography. While these techniques can provide valuable “snapshots” of the condition of particular locations, limitations and inherent errors can compound leading to ill-advised decision making. Manually taken thickness data can vary greatly and result in unwarranted complacency or excessive and costly inspections.

Author: Steve Strachan; Mitch Gribi

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Many asset owners struggle to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion rates due to unreliable, infrequent, or sheer lacks of quantity of inspection data to make informed decisions on asset health. Facilities worldwide are tasked with monitoring thousands of Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs) with established NDE techniques such as manual ultrasonic testing and radiography. While these techniques can provide valuable “snapshots” of the condition of particular locations, limitations and inherent errors can compound leading to ill-advised decision making.

Pitting Corrosion Detection by Ultrasound Monitoring

Product Number: 51324-20810-SG

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Early diagnosis is essential for successful mitigation of pitting corrosion, a localized form of corrosion that causes cavities and structural failure in metallic materials. Although ultrasonic inspection techniques are effective in detecting uniform wall thinning, they have challenges in accurately identifying pitting corrosion. The present work proposes a technique for early-stage pitting detection utilizing time-lapse pulse-echo signals. The generation of two-dimensional time-lapse images of ultrasonic reflectivity may be achieved by capturing several ultrasonic traces over a period of time. These images can then serve as input for a neural network trained specifically for the purpose of pitting diagnostics. To obtain a substantial training dataset required for training the machine learning model, a drilling experiment was conducted, and random time-ordered combinations of the pulse-echo measurements produced the time-lapse images. A classification neural network was trained to detect the presence of pits, while a separate regression network was trained to estimate the pit depth. Test data from a previously unseen transducer indicates that the pit depth estimations exhibit a mean absolute error of less than 0.2 mm. All pits are reliably identified when they exceed the defined pitting threshold of 0.5 mm by a depth of 0.1 mm.
