CUI (Corrosion under insulation) is among the key damage mechanisms affecting the integrity of equipment, piping, and pipelines in the hydrocarbon industry. CUI manifests (mostly) localized corrosion.  CUI is a highly frequent degradation in the oil refining facilities where reportedly 40-60% of failures in the piping result from CUI.

CUI (corrosion under insulation) refers to the external corrosion on thermally insulated metals which mainly manifests as localized corrosion. The key driver behind the CUI is the soaked thermal insulation which results in both uniform and localized corrosion. There are many instances where the facility piping, and pipelines undergo flooding and submerging conditions which result in the soaking of insulation. The issue gets aggravated (i.e., prolonged soaking) for the pipes/ pipelines which are either mothballed or operate at or near the ambient temperatures. This study addresses the long-term CUI behavior of pipe assemblies applied with and without non-metallic stand-off membranes. The assemblies were submerged in water for 2 days followed by outdoor exposure for 01 year. The assemblies were tested for CUI behaviors via weight loss method and various characterization methods namely confocal laser topography and scanning electron microscopy.

03029 STRATEGIES TO PREVENT CORROSION UNDER INSULATION IN PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY PIPING

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) in pipingc systems consumes a significant percent of the maintenance budget in the petrochemical industry. Prevention of CUI by the use of (1) thermal spray aluminum, (2) stainless steel pipe, (3) expanded metal cages for personnel protection instead of insulation and (4) aluminum foil wrapping are discussed in terms of long term protection, installed cost and Life cycle cost.
