Solid particles entrained in fluids can impact pipelines and equipment causing wear and material removal. Particle impact velocities that are affected by the carrier fluids have the largest effect on the magnitude and distribution of solid particle erosion rates in addition to the mass of impacting particles or the particle rates. In addition to the interaction of particles with the carrier fluids, particles interaction with solid materials makes this process highly complex and produces effects that are interesting and yet important to predict for practical engineering applications.

Erosion wear occurs due to repeated impacts of solid particles and even liquid droplets with materials surfaces. The hardness of particles relative to the hardness of the target material is especially important in the mining process and petroleum industries as many types of particles with various shapes and hardness and sizes hit various pipe materials and coatings. The particle impact velocities at the pipe walls and bends are affected by the pipe geometry, fluid properties and velocity, flow patterns, particle size and distribution in the flow. The size and shape variation of particles entrained in fluids in the industry applications cause impact speed and angle variations and crater sizes on the target materials. Materials characteristics are another important, complex and fascinating part in modeling solid particle erosion. Impacting solid particles cause craters, fractures and/or cracks that eventually causes small pieces of materials to be removed. To model the erosion under multiphase flow conditions, local void fraction measurements by Wire Mesh Sensors (WMS) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of multiphase flows are being used to aid in predicting gas-liquid-sand velocities in multiphase flows. Erosion experiments and flow visualization experiments are also conducted on elbows in series in 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch large-scale multiphase flows. Finally, several interesting and wonderful observations that over the years have helped scientists develop and improve models for solid particle erosion are presented. Additionally, examples of various efforts that are leading to develop better models for predicting solid particle erosion are briefly discussed.

In the recent years, Horizontal Directional Drilling - HDD - became a real improvement for pipeline construction when crossing obstacles such as rivers, roads or railways. For the corrosion protection of the carbon steel pipeline, a protective coating is associated with cathodic protection. But for trenchless techniques, the coating shall withstand the stresses from the installation. Several standards are used to specify corrosion protection coatings for buried pipelines but those documents do not cover the specific conditions of an HDD.

For many years coatings based on methyl/phenyl silicone resins have proven to be one of the most effective and reliable products within the high heat and protective coatings segments. Their inorganic characters along with the methyl/phenyl modification provide outstanding long term thermal stability, attractive corrosion protection, weather resistance and good mechanical properties. In general, silicone resins for high heat applications can be categorized into two sub-groups: i) oven curing and ii) ambient temperature curing systems.
In the case of typical oven cured silicone

The number of CCS projects (planned and in operation) is increasing, and project developers need to provide firm evidence that the proposed material is suitable for these applications.
The petroleum industry has long experience with materials selection for wells, but the conditions for CO2 injection wells are somewhat different from “conventional” oil and gas wells. This is due to the high CO2 content and pressure (up to several hundred bar) which results in low pH condensed water (exact value depends on pressure and temperature, but approximately pH 3.0).
