Field Guide for Managing Iron Sulfide within Pipelines or Processing Equipment

Product Number: 37642-pdf

ISBN: 978-1-57590-461-0

Author: Daniel E. Powell, Robert H. Winters, Mark A. Mercer

$190.00

The Field Guide for Managing Iron Sulfide (Black Powder) within Pipelines or Processing Equipment offers practical guidance for corrosion control and operations personnel in managing black powder within their pipeline systems or processing equipment.

This book was written for new corrosion control professionals and operations personnel, who are based at production facilities. It provides straightforward, practical guidance regarding what is “black powder,” and why it may be a concern, field tests to be conducted, follow-up laboratory test that could be ordered, and an approach for using maintenance pigging, coupled with chemical treatments, to remove accumulations of “black powder.”

It begins with a discussion of what is black powder and identifies health and safety considerations associated with H₂S and the presence of black powder, identifying why there may be a concern.

The Field Guide presents field and laboratory tests typically used to identify the presence of iron sulfide, and then discusses maintenance pigging and/or chemical treatments for removing such particulates. Several case studies are also presented.

Impact of Corrosion Growth on Effective Flaw Dimensions

Product Number: 51324-21001-SG

Author: Thomas A. Bubenik; Steven J. Polasik; Benjamin Hanna

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper summarizes the results of a sensitivity study conducted on corrosion clusters on a steel pipeline, specifically (1) the change in cluster effective length as the individual anomalies that make up the cluster grow and (2) the effect of changes in effective length on the remaining life calculated using deterministic methods. Two growth scenarios are considered: clusters that grow at the same rate along the cluster versus clusters that grow at a depth-based corrosion growth rate (e.g., deeper areas grow faster than shallower areas). The study shows that, in both scenarios, the effective lengths of long clusters shrink with growth. Examples demonstrate the impact of the results for a semi-elliptically shaped anomaly. The change in effective length and the corresponding change in critical or maximum depth led to an increase in calculated remaining life of 20% to 40% for the cases studied.

Interference Study between a Solar Array Power Station and a Transmission Pipeline

It is nowadays becoming increasingly common for new onshore structures and electrification systems to be installed in close vicinity to existing underground pipelines already equipped with their own CP and earthing systems. The problem with sharing common right of way between different structures is that their different earthing and CP systems are likely to interfere with each other. The coupling may reduce the performance of the individual designs or lead to major problems such as stray currents or shielding effects. Numerical modelling of these types of scenarios allows identifying such problems in advance, gaining understanding on the nature of the interference, and evaluating possible mitigation strategies. In this work the impact of constructing a solar power station across a set of transmission pipelines is investigated. The pipelines are protected by an ICCP system. The solar array includes galvanized piles and copper earthing system. The territory is mainly composed of clays or muds with flat and slightly undulating shapes with average resistivities in the order of 900 O-cm. Simulation results are presented showing the status of the pipelines before and after the solar array is constructed, as well as the solar array considering that the pipeline does not exist. The results show that the solar array piles and earthing system have measurable effects on the CP potentials on the pipeline.

Investigating the Application of the Effective Area Approach to Estimating Fatigue Life

Product Number: 51324-21053-SG

Author: Zach Booth; Ben Hanna; Steven J Polasik

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Fitness-for-service assessments of corrosion flaws in line pipe often use an Effective Area Method approach (e.g., RSTRENG) to estimate criticality. This method evaluates all contiguous combinations of flaw dimensions that can be defined via a detailed profile. The lowest burst pressure of those combinations is considered the estimated burst pressure of the flaw. This paper investigates the use of an effective area approach to estimate the remaining fatigue life of crack-like flaws described by a detailed profile. Using flaws reported from in-line inspection, the burst pressure and fatigue life of all combinations of flaw dimensions were estimated using the CorLAS™ fracture mechanics model. For some profiles, the effective area corresponding to the lowest burst pressure is not the same as the effective area corresponding to the lowest fatigue life. Therefore, additional analyses of flaws with detailed profiles may be warranted when developing remediation plans considering both fatigue life and burst pressure.

Product Number: NACE SP0105-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This AMPP standard practice presents guidelines for establishing minimum requirements to ensure proper material selection, application, and inspection of pipeline liquid coatings used for the repair and rehabilitation of previously coated, buried steel pipelines and for coating the external surfaces of field joints on newly constructed, buried steel pipe. This standard addresses the required properties, application recommendations, and quality control testing for field-applied liquid coating using various chemistries on buried steel pipelines. Examples of currently used chemistries for field-applied liquid coatings include epoxies, polyurethanes, and vinyl esters. This standard is intended for use by corrosion control personnel, design engineers, project managers, suppliers, purchasers, and construction engineers and managers.

Product Number: NACE SP0200-2023

Publication Date: 2023

The use of cased carrier pipe for pipelines crossing under highways and railroads has been common practice in the industry. The first cased crossings were made using large-diameter pipe. The carrier pipe was mechanically coupled and pushed through the casing, and the coupling or collars were in direct contact with it. When coatings came into general use, isolating spacers were made of hemp rope saturated with pipe-coating enamel. End seals consisting of either concrete or pipe-coating enamel were poured into each end of the casing. The current practice of installing cased carrier pipe has changed only slightly since the beginning of its use. External loading of the carrier pipe has now been eliminated by the installation of heavy-wall casing pipe, and isolating spacers are used to prevent electrical contact between the casing and the carrier pipe. End seals are used to keep electrolyte (e.g., mud, water) out of the annular space between the carrier pipe and casing.
