AMPP SP21487-2021, Inspecting and Reporting Biofouling and Antifouling Systems’ Condition during Underwater Inspections on Ships

Product Number: AMPP SP21487-2021

Publication Date: 2021

$89.00

Biofouling accumulation on a ship’s hull has a direct impact on fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and may pose a biosecurity risk due to the presence of non-indigenous, potentially invasive aquatic species.

The antifouling system (AFS) is designed to protect the underwater surfaces from biofouling accumulation. Underwater inspections (UWI) of ships are typically carried out to monitor and verify the condition of the underwater hull and the AFS.

Recipients of UWI reports are reliant on the quality of information provided to make adequate decisions relating to hull performance, AFS condition and performance, biofouling management and associated risk assessments. Consistent and good quality reporting is key to effective underwater hull condition record-keeping and management.

Corrosion Management for a Sustainable Future

Product Number: 37645-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-388-0

Author: Christopher Taylor, Andrea Sanchez Sours

$195.00

NEW! In 2015, the editors of Corrosion Management for a Sustainable Future, working in DNV’s Strategic Research and Innovation group at the time, examined facets of the materials lifecycle to help identify strategies that could be undertaken to mitigate the exponential increase in materials extraction and consumption that have characterized the rise of the modern world.

From this activity, a ‘materials stewardship’ strategy was formed, composed of the elements of dematerialization (doing more with less), durability (corrosion and risk management), design for multiple lifecycles, and diversion of waste (recycling and industrial symbiosis).

NACE SP21459-2020/IEEE Std 2655-2018, “Atmospheric Above Grade Inspection and Assessment of Corrosion on Steel Electrical Transmission, Distribution, and Substation Structures”

Product Number: SP21459-2020

ISBN: 1-57590-408-X

Publication Date: 2020

$89.00

There are an estimated 900,000 electric utility steel transmission and distribution structures in North America alone. The majority of these structures were installed between 1950 and 1990. These structures are now an average of about 45 years of age. The age of these structures dictates an inspection and assessment procedure to determine the level of corrosion affecting the above-grade atmospherically exposed portions of this important segment of our infrastructure.

Prior to the publication of this standard, no industry practice existed to help electric utilities determine a prioritized listing of structures to be inspected or that described an inspection and assessment procedure to evaluate above-grade atmospheric corrosion problems.

Estimating the Financial Risk Reductions Associated with Cathodic Protection Programs

Product Number: 51320-14546-SG

Author: Parth Iyer, Yoko Nakazato, Han Wu, Millan Sen, Len Krissa

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

On an increasingly frequent basis, pipeline operators are using risk-based decision making to prioritize cross-company expenditures. Due to the long-term mitigation benefits of Cathodic Protection (CP), when planning external corrosion mitigation activities, pipeline operators typically prioritize mitigation of deeper anomalies for integrity expenditures due to their higher Probability of Failure (PoF). However, anomalies that are not receiving adequate CP or those experiencing electrical interference may remain unaddressed using this rationale. This paper presents both a qualitative and semi-quantitative approach to support the quantification of the risk reduction benefits gained from external corrosion prevention on pipelines. This can help in the efficient prioritization of both pro-active and re-active integrity repair activities. Supporting examples are also discussed to help explain the intended use of the methodology and the interpretation of the results.
