Top-of-line corrosion (TLC) is known as one of the main corrosion threats in wet gas pipelines operating
in stratified flow conditions. Using a corrosion model is one of the key tools to identify and quantify the
threat and to identify the potential need for mitigation and control of this risk.
This paper will describe a new TLC model that can be used to assess the TLC risk for sweet wet gas
pipelines. This model is based on the mechanistic understanding from the latest literature and knowledge
generated in a JIP (Joint Industry Project with Ohio University). The new model addresses the following
relevant physicochemical phenomena:
The latest electrochemical CO corrosion model for the bare steel corrosion rate, including the
effect of organic acids as a pH buffering agent.
The Fe² flux balance
The condensation rate, condensation regime and condensing droplet size
FeCO3 formation and its effect on the corrosion rate
Incomplete substrate coverage during low condensation rates
Three sources or sinks in the Fe² flux balance equation are distinguished:
Fe² formation by corrosion
Fe² removal by FeCO3 precipitation
Fe² transportation by condensed water film convection
This model has been implemented into our in-house corrosion prediction software Hydrocor (HC). The
performance has been verified with a database compiled from the literature. The new TLC Model shows
a very good agreement with both experimental and field data on top of line corrosion.
