Product Number: 51323-19325-SG

Author: Sudharsanan Soundararajan

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

This twin train Condensate Splitting Unit (CSU) is basically an atmospheric distillation unit processing predominantly Middle Eastern condensate along with other non-system condensate. The products from this unit are Light/Heavy Naphtha, Kerosene, Light/Heavy Gas Oil and Atmospheric residue. There is no desalter in this unit and preheated feed is flashed in Pre-flash column to separate out light and medium naphtha.

True Value of Quality: A Case History of a Success Story

Product Number: 41206-243-SG

Author: Benjamin S. Fultz

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

A case study of how poor initial quality control resulted in a complete coatings rework of the underwater bottom (exterior hull) of a large Floating Storage Unit (FSU) and how a good quality control program, during rework, resulted in the documented long term performance of the second application underwater hull coating system.

Truth or Marketing? Hocus Pocus or Real Information? How are You Selecting Products for Your Projects?

Product Number: 51220-248-SG

Author: Murray Heywood

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

A common frustration in our industry is the project submittal process. Engineers, Consultants, owners and manufactures are frustrated by the process. How do you really know what products are right for your project? Data from recent studies show that projects where two or more manufacturers’ products are specified, results in overall project savings of 23% or more. This demands a closer look at the selection and specification process.

Tungsten Carbide High Velocity Thermal Spray Coatings in the Oil & Gas Industry

Product Number: 51216-006-SG

Author: Herman E. Amaya, Lee Schmerling

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This paper will explore several variables which affect the tungsten carbide coating material deposited by a high velocity thermal spray process (HVTS) on Oil & Gas components such as valve sealing components (gate, ball, seat) and on other equipment (pistons for example on BOP’s or Blow Out Preventers). The purpose of coating these components is to gain wear/abrasion resistance as well as to impart some corrosion resistance.

Two Coat Inorganic Coatings System for Corrosion Resistance and Long-Life

Product Number: 51324-21092-SG

Author: Kristen Blankenship; James Lawson

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Extending service life of an offshore wind tower brings value to the owner and has the added benefit of reducing environmental impact. Arguably the biggest threat to service- life is degradation. When constructing with steel, corrosion is the threat to mitigate. Coatings formulated with zinc dust have been the primary strategy for protection. Zinc dust incorporated into silicate resins is considered an inorganic zinc coating. In recent years silicate finishes made without zinc have entered the market to create a two- coat inorganic system offering unmatched corrosion protection in a finish with various color options. The silicate resin is low carbon and won’t contribute to microplastic accumulation in the ocean. This paper will explain what a two- coat inorganic corrosion resistant system is, how it works, what it looks like and most importantly how it extends the life- cycle of wind towers by inhibiting corrosion for decades.

Two-Coat Low VOC Maintenance System for DoD Aboveground Storage Tanks

Product Number: 41205-168-SG

Author: C. David Gaughen, Paul Anderson, Jason Bell

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

To protect against corrosion, exterior Department of Defense (DoD) Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) surfaces initially receive a three-coat coating system consisting of epoxy primer (MIL-DTL-24441, Formula 159, Type III), epoxy intermediate (MIL-DTL-24441, Formula 152, Type IV), and polyurethane topcoat (MILPRF-85285D, Type II). Exterior AST maintenance painting is generally required at less than eight years’ service.

Two-Coat Polyaspartic Urethane Coatings Protect Virginia Steel Bridges for Over a Decade

Product Number: 41216-994-SG

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

In 2003 Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) conducted a study to quantify the throughput and cost savings potential of a PAS two-coat system versus a three-coat system. The study showed that a PAS two-coat system had a 31% increase in productivity and direct cost savings of approximately $6 per square foot, with indirect cost savings of $18 per square foot when including the benefits of reduced traffic congestion.17 PAS two-coat systems utilize a zinc-rich primer for galvanic protection; the epoxy and polyurethane layers are replaced by a high-build PAS topcoat.

Two-Way Application of Corrosion Inhibitor in Gas and Condensate Field

Product Number: 51320-14398-SG

Publication Date: 2020

A fit for purpose qualification of new corrosion inhibitors was carried out for in a gas and condensate field. The depth of production well is 4,500 m and the bottom hole temperature and pressure are 180ºC and 50 MPa respectively. The methodology and result of the inhibitor evaluation under a sweet condition was summarized. Two brands of corrosion inhibitors had been used each for production tubing and flowline in the field. New corrosion inhibitors were evaluated for the both applications. The corrosion inhibitor efficiency for high shear service and the adhesion tendency were evaluated with a rotating cage autoclave and a dip and drip experiment respectively. In order to evaluate the tendency of emulsion forming, oil, brine and an inhibitor were poured into a centrifuge tube and it was shaken intensely. Gas chromatograph - mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were studied to measure the residual amount of inhibitor. Finally, the field trial was conducted with a new inhibitor. The new inhibitor was adopted successfully for the both services. The risk of emulsion forming became lower because the mixing of two brands of inhibitors was avoided. Reducing the number of the chemicals contributed to reduction of the operation cost too.

U.S. Perspective On Harvesting And Archiving Of Aged Components To Improve Materials Degradation Knowledge And Inform Aging Management

Product Number: ED22-17113-SG

Author: M.Hiser, P. Xu, R.Tregoning, J. Smith, C. Judge

Publication Date: 2022

Historically, regulators, industry and other research organizations have performed research on materials harvested from a broad range of components, including the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), internals, and piping. Harvesting has included both service-aged materials as well as components from unfinished reactors. This harvesting and associated research has provided valuable insights into materials performance, such as flaw populations, materials properties, aging effects and non-destructive evaluation effectiveness.
