Boilers are one of the most fundamental systems in refineries or processing plants. It is very critical to assess and control the conditions of boilers to avoid the operation failure. Scale and corrosions are major problems in the boiler. Boiler chemical treatment has been considered to be a cost-effective approach to prevent deposition formation and minimize corrosion in boilers to control feeding chemicals, tracers are used for monitoring chemical dosage levels. The usage of fluorescent tracers for dosage control and system diagnostics is a recognized approach for decreasing operator workload and improving system performance.

In industrial boiler operation, it is very critical to control boiler conditions to avoid the failure. Boiler chemical treatment is considered as a cost-effective approach to prevent scale formation and minimize corrosion to control feeding chemicals, tracers can be formulated into scale and corrosion inhibitor for the dosage monitoring.
This paper presents both laboratory and operation studies of fluorescein in a scale and corrosion inhibitor. The studies include: 1. Evaluation of fluorescein stability at 400°F; 2. Assessment of fluorescein monitoring accuracy compared with other analysis method in boiler operation system; 3. Investigation of the effects of fluorescein on other element analysis, mainly molybdate and iron, by wet chemistry methods. Based on the testing results, fluorescein are stable and can be accurately measured at least up to 600 psi boiler conditions. The present of fluorescein has negligible effects on both molybdate analysis and iron analysis by wet chemistry method at the common treatment dosage range (< 600 ppb of fluorescein).

For each sample project, the service environment (i.e. exposure conditions) and anticipated maintenance painting sequence needs to be defined. The service environments correspond to ISO 12944-2, “Classification of Environments.” The referenced paper (referred to as the Paper) presents a sequence for typical maintenance painting.

This sequence includes the follow steps:

Original Painting
Spot Touch-Up and Repair (1 or 2 cycles)
Maintenance Repaint [spot prime and full coat] (1 or 2 cycles)
Full Repaint [total coating removal and replacement]

In oil and gas industries the material surface of pipelines, tools, and equipment is exposed to many harsh operational conditions- one of which is the repetitive impingement of contaminated solid particles when encountering a mixture of gas and sand or liquid solids-laden slurries. In addition to maintenance and material expenses, mass loss of materials due to erosion results in unstable production rates. Hence, predicting the erosion provides the ability to optimize the design and qualify it for operation in an erosive environment for the required operational life.

As using underground infrastructures, such as heat transport facilities continues for a long time, damage cases due to corrosion continue to occur. Therefore, it is essential to understand the corrosion behavior of underground metal facilities in terms of safety and economy. Many studies have been conducted on the corrosion of pipeline steels in soil.
