At the project phase, the main responsibility of a corrosion engineer is to develop Corrosion Management Program (CMP) and establish a corrosion control strategy for specific individual units. A well-designed Corrosion Management Program is the most useful material not only to prepare a corrosion control strategy, create a reliable inspection plan but also to promote corrosion knowledge management, corrosion talent development and training, integration with other disciplines such as process, operation, inspection, maintenance.
The Hydroprocessing unit is the crucial process of the refinery as high temperature and high-pressure operation conditions are in which major catastrophic accident occurs. An understanding of variables influencing corrosion in hydroprocessing units is necessary for corrosion engineers to improve the reliability, safety and environment impact associated with them. This paper describes an example of how Corrosion Management Program (CMP) and Integrity Operating Windows (IOW) are used for developing specific corrosion control strategy, corrosion knowledge sharing and integration with other disciplines to prepare customized corrosion control strategy of hydroprocessing unit in JAZAN project. The development of corrosion management strategy of Hydroprocessing is focused on the Reactor Effluent Air Cooler system corrosion control using a water-washing method.

Evaluation of Resistance to Cracking of Concrete Repair Materials

Product Number: 41207-300-SG

Author: Frank Apicella, Fred Goodwin

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Cracking of concrete repair materials is a critical factor affecting the service life of a repaired structure. Cracks in repair materials provide a pathway for moisture to carry deleterious materials into the concrete and accelerate corrosion of imbedded reinforcement. Existing cracks can also fill with water and cause further crack propagation as well as accelerated deterioration due to freezing and thawing conditions.

How Fluoropolymers Resist Chemical Attack across the pH Spectrum

Product Number: 51324-20603-SG

Author: Jason Knapp

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

When chemical process systems require extremely harsh or demanding environments, material selection is critical for providing longevity and preventing downtime. For systems utilizing exceedingly low or high pH chemicals, fluoropolymers are often an excellent choice to prevent corrosion in a system. The strong carbon-fluorine bond allows fluoropolymers to thrive in areas where other materials would be subject to failures. Strong acids are handled exceptionally well by many fluoropolymers, and certain copolymerization reactions with materials such as PVDF can provide a material that holds up to even more challenging situations. This paper will summarize the most commonly used fluoropolymers in the industry, as well as discuss applications where fluoropolymers are used. The paper will also detail why fluoropolymers can resist exceptionally aggressive chemicals, and how PVDF-HFP copolymers improve the corrosion resistance of both low and high pH environments. Case studies will also be provided.

Investigation of passive film formation on UNS N08935 in high chloride solution – Alternative method for advanced material selection

Product Number: 51323-19266-SG

Author: Nian Zhou, Robert Mattsson Öhnfeldt, Daniel Gullberg, Ulf Kivisäkk

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Material selection to get “fit-for-purpose” alloys is an important task that corrosion engineers face in their daily work. Two common ways of attacking such a challenge is by testing different alloys in environments similar to the application in a laboratory environment or installing samples in actual operating equipment. In the latter, testing is usually time consuming and might require plant turnovers to get access to the equipment for sample installation.

The goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to below 2°C, preferably 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels.1 While the world is slowly transitioning to more sustainable energy sources to reach this target, one of the ways to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere is to capture it and store it in depleted gas fields. According to the IOGP1, the total number of CCS projects in Europe is 65 in 2022.2 The aim of these projects is to store around 60 MtCO₂/yr by 2030.

Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) are technologies aimed at capturing CO2 and preventing its subsequent emission. Though CO2 transport and injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been a common practice for the Oil and Gas industry for over 40 years, new challenges arise when the CO2 source is anthropogenic. Industrial CO2 stream composition will carry impurities such as NO2 (nitrogen oxides), SO2 (sulfur oxides), O2 (oxygen), H2S (hydrogen sulfide) that could affect material corrosion behavior. A complete testing program was undertaken to assess the main corrosion risks associated to the application: Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC), Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC), crevice and mass loss resistance. The results confirm the effects of impurities such as SO2, NO2 and oxygen on corrosion behavior. Carbon low alloyed steel (N80Q) material presented a higher corrosion rate, and it is not suitable for injection tubing but may be acceptable for casing materials when not permanently exposed to the CO2 stream. UNS S41426 (S13Cr) material needs special considerations for CCS application due the presence of some localized corrosion when exposed to a high saline water phase. UNS S31803 (22Cr) could be suitable for a less severe environment including additional testing, whilst UNS S32760 (25CrS) presented good corrosion behavior and is suitable for the application.

Material Selection Methodology Using Halite Tendency Indicators for Gas Wells: A Case Study

Product Number: 51320-14586-SG

Author: Eugenia Marinou, Valdir De Souza, David Roberts, Qi Zhao

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

In gas wells, where a low or unknown amount of the naturally occurring saline formation water is expected to be produced, tubing material selection relies on selecting a fixed dataset of input parameters and extrapolating to the entire well life. This is intended to represent the worst-case scenario; while this can be the case regarding pressure and temperature, the produced water composition as a function of time is less likely to be as reliable. This is because during production, gas can cause water evaporation, leading to a significant increase in the chloride ion concentration compared to the analyzed values – and hence, potentially an unsuitable material selected. To this end, it is important to: (a) ensure that the formation water composition analyzed is correct, (b) that this composition is reconciled to initial reservoir conditions and (c) calculate any evaporation/condensation effects in different sections of the well as a function of production forecasts. This makes it easier to establish operational envelopes that both prevent productivity impairment and provide appropriate thresholds of acceptability for the tubing material selected. This paper describes the methodology applied for tubing material selection for a high temperature-high pressure (HTHP) gas well in the North Sea.
