The high demand for green hydrogen energy during recent decades has caused increasing research activities around energy conversion devices. Different types of water electrolyzers (WE) and fuel cells (FC) are at the core of attention for hydrogen production and electrical energy generation from hydrogen. Around 20-22% of the total cost of a WE/FC stack is the cost of bipolar plates (BPPs) materials and coatings.

Corrosion under Insulation (CUI) costs industry millions of dollars. Water ingress into conventional insulation systems can result in accelerated corrosion of the steel substrate w hich, if unchecked, will result in structural failure of the vessel or pipe. If the structure is operating under high pressure then this failure would be catastrophic. CUI can result in significant loss of revenue from downtime, maintenance and replacement of corroded structures.

Review of Key Factors Related to Sour Service Material Selection for HPHT Oil & Gas Production A

Product Number: 51319-13400-SG

Author: Jing Ning

Publication Date: 2019

Failure mechanisms manifest in Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) steels for highly sour applications are dominated by corrosion and Environmentally-Assisted Cracking (EAC). EAC of high strength low alloy carbon steels typically used in well completion has been a problem of major concern for the reliable exploitation of reservoirs that produce or condense significant amounts of water alongside dissolved CO2 and H2S. A critical issue in selecting OCTG steels that are considered suitable for sour service is selection of representative laboratory conditions of the actual High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) service environments. The issue is due to a lack of reliable sour ionic model(s) to understand non-ideal sour gas/solution behavior at HPHT conditions. Such ionic model(s) will form the foundation for designing / specifying experimental environments and lab tests to ascertain optimized H2S serviceability limits of a number of potential sour service metallic alloys.This paper provides a comprehensive review of current understanding of H2S ionic / thermodynamic modeling for HPHT applications as a precursor to predicting physical chemistry. This typically involves characterizing the role of key parameters such as H2S gas partial pressure gas fugacity aqueous chemical activity species concentrations and ionic strength. Also addressed as part of this review are evaluations of recent studies incorporating advanced thermodynamic models at HPHT conditions in evaluating EAC susceptibility of OCTG steels in sour media.The objectives of this review paper are to identify the key challenges and limitations facing the current EAC cracking limits per NACE MR0175 / ISO15156 and make recommendations for adoption of typical best practices in selecting materials for HPHT sour upstream production applications.Keywords: Hydrogen Sulfide High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) Material Selection Sour Ionic / Thermodynamic Model

Review of Mitigation of Carbonation-Induced Corrosion With UHPC

Product Number: 51323-18977-SG

Recent occurrences of high visibility structural failures have spurred interest to revisit inspection and repair of aging reinforced concrete structures. Chloride-induced corrosion can cause premature damage of structures in coastal regions. Corrosion induced by carbonation of the concrete and the concrete pore water, on the other hand can occur in many other environments including structures in both wet and dry exposures. This type of corrosion can become increasingly relevant in residential buildings as housing structures age to where sufficient carbonation occurs at reinforcing steel depths.

The Hanford Nuclear Reservation contains radioactive and chemically hazardous wastes arising mostly from weapons production, beginning with World War II and continuing through the Cold War. The wastes are stored in 177 carbon steel underground storage tanks, of which 149 are single-shell tanks (SSTs) and the remaining are double-shell tanks (DSTs). The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of River Protection is responsible for retrieving the tank wastes, treating them in order to encapsulate them in glass logs, and then permanently closing the tanks and associated facilities.

Review Of The State Of The Art Of Siliceous Scale Management In Industrial Systems

Product Number: 51322-17731-SG

Publication Date: 2022

Fouling of equipment surfaces by siliceous salts such as silica, metal silicates,
coprecipitated silica with mineral salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, etc.,
is a serious challenge facing the technologists in the efficient operation of industrial
systems. Severe fouling at times results in premature expensive equipment replacement,
early shutdown, increase in operating pressure of pumps, and enhance the probability of
corrosion damage. In many cases, the removal of foulants leads to discontinuous
operation of the system, resulting in higher operating costs. In geothermal applications,
siliceous scale typically occurs when brine is cooled in the course of brine handling and
energy extraction.

Review of Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors Evaluation Methods and Development of Testing Protocols

Product Number: 51319-13303-SG

Author: Marc Singer

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Top of the Line Corrosion (TLC) is now known to be the main mode of failure in incidents associated with a number of wet gas pipelines operated all over the world. TLC is nevertheless a relatively recent phenomenon in a sense that its existence was only acknowledged about 10 to 15 years ago. Several research activities have been carried out since then to identify the main corrosion mechanisms and to propose appropriate mitigation techniques. Among them the use of volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) seems very promising. However the industry now suffers from a lack of consistency in the TLC inhibition evaluation methods. This paper presents a comprehensive and critical review of the different experimental setups proposed in the literature for the evaluation of VCI performances highlighting benefits and drawbacks of each method. Building on this valuable experience an effort is then made to propose a state of the art testing protocol for the determination of corrosion inhibition efficiency and persistency of VCI for TLC applications.

Revisiting Alloy K-500 with Improved Performance Limits for Short and Long-Term Subterranean Applications

Product Number: 51323-18787-SG

Author: Manuel Marya

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Alloy K-500 (UNS N05500) is concomitantly a centurial material and the very first precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy, then developed in the 1920s by the newly-formed International Nickel Company, or Inco.
Derived from Monel 400 (UNS N04400) that was invented in 1901, Alloy K-500 shares many of the same corrosion and tribological characteristics. Being a pioneer alloy with so-called “stain-less” characteristics, Alloy
K-500 also established itself as the first high-strength oilfield nickel alloy, having survived sour service conditions exceeding the capabilities of the low-alloy steels of the time. From early naval propeller shaft applications to
general cross-industrial uses, Alloy K-500 has always been considered a corrosion-resistant alloy, or CRA. For instance, it has been included in the NACE MR1075 document right from the first 1975 edition.

Revisiting The Anodic Dissolution Of Pure Iron In Strong Acid: Replication Of Bockris’ Estimation Of Butler-Volmer

Product Number: 51322-17681-SG

Author: Mohiedin Bagheri Hariri, Bruce Brown, Srdjan Nesic

Publication Date: 2022

Reviewing literature related to corrosion research brings to light the importance of understanding the mechanisms involved, and how this is essential to aid in development of mathematical models for corrosion prediction. The current research documents possible mechanisms for the dissolution of pure iron in strong acid in a potential range in the potential range of ±50 mV vs. OCP, providing explanations for corrosion engineers and researchers working with mild steel. Prediction of corrosion rate relies on the precise understanding of the anodic and cathodic processes at the metal surface in the potential range close to the OCP.
