Corrosion Control and Integrity Management of Flare Gas Recovery Units

Product Number: MECC23-20160-SG

Publication Date: 2023

Gas flaring is often a frequent occurrence in the oil and gas industry, where significant unrecovered gas is flared to the atmosphere with wide ranging negative environmental implications such as increased greenhouse emission, and other pollutants that have negative health implications on local populations. However, recent environmental awareness, drive to lower emission and economic benefits associated with flare gas recovery has seen a shift in flaring practice. The recovery of flared gas reduces noise and thermal radiation, operating and maintenance costs, air pollution and gas emission and reduces fuel gas and steam consumption.

Digitalized Corrosion Control Documents for Enhanced Refinery Mechanical Integrity and Reliability

Product Number: MECC23-20026-SG

Author: Sridhar Srinivasan; Gerrit Buchheim

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Refinery operations, characterized by significant process complexities, have traditionally remained as a domain where accurate asset integrity and life prediction have been difficult to achieve. Such difficulty stems from the need to characterize and manage corrosion across different critical process units and parameters; quantifying corrosion has thus become a key factor in ensuring asset integrity, and absence of appropriate corrosion management strategies has often been the cause of some of the most destructive and expensive corrosion failures. Managing corrosion in refineries is a complex task, given the engineering intricacies associated with the processes and operations.

Optimizing Equipment Availability through Structured Engineering Assessment

Product Number: MPWT19-14367

Author: Paresh Haribhakti, Ketan Upadhyaya

$0.00

The recognized international codes, such as ASME [1], API[2], BS[3] provide design and fabrication guidelines for various equipment used in industries viz. pressure vessels, piping and storage tanks. However, the fabrication standards do not address acceptability of the equipment on detection of any deterioration; once put in to the operation.
The engineering assessment becomes essential when flaws such as “leakage”, ‘metal loss’ or ‘linear indications’ are detected during routine inspections. Sometimes, observed damages or flaws, do not meet the definition criteria as per assessment steps given in the international standards of fitness for service. In order to asses such damages, a structured engineering approach based on experience and judgment would help in such situations.
Describing the structured engineering assessment approach, this paper discusses a case study on typical ‘hydrogenation reactor’ that displayed micro-level leakage. Until 2015, the reactor often leaked during service prior to the assessment. This approach using various NDT methods, microstructural examination and structured engineering analysis identified the problem of dilution of base metal with welding that was leading to inter dendritic corrosion at micro level. The structured engineering analysis paved the forward path by which the reactor could be operated without any unscheduled outages since then after providing improved welding procedure.
