The increasing demand for affordable and environmentally friendly electric energy, accelerates the global plans for offshore wind energy plants. Due to the growing number of wind farm installations, for example, along US coatlines, the need for efficient repair and maintenance of the corrosion protection coatings will significantly increase over time. Many structures are already, locally damaged during their errection. Modern repair solutions have been developed over the last years, in order to keep up with the growing need for maintenance and repair of the atmospheric exposure zones of offshore windfarms. Material and process- efficiency are key in an area where labour and materials are extremely costly. In order to carry out highly efficient and durable repair jobs of the corrosion protection coating systems and therefore to ensure the extended lifetime of offshore wind powerplants, a modern repair coating and procedure has been developed. This paper compares the new single layer, direct to metal coating with the previously used standard products, in terms of corrosion protection performance (according to ISO 203401, ISO 46242, ISO 6272-13 etc.), application methods and complexity, the overall physical-chemical properties and in terms of overall process efficiency. The positive transformation in terms of occupational safety and environmental impact were amongst the central criteria of the project.

Microreactor technology has the potential to provide efficient, modular, and inherently safe baseload power that can be used in regions that are too remote to support the larger, light water reactor (LWR) technology that dominates today’s nuclear energy landscape. To generate enough power and thermal efficiency to be attractive, the microreactors must be operated at higher temperatures (approximately 1112-1652°F or 600-900°C) than traditional LWR’s, and therefore are cooled using technologies such as heat pipes with gas, sodium, or molten salt coolants.

The adoption of renewable feedstocks by refiners is driven by a variety of factors, including regulatory compliance, sustainability, and diversification of their product portfolio. However, the introduction of these feedstocks poses significant risks due to their chemical differences compared to traditional crude feedstocks. To address these risks, many refiners have undertaken costly conversion projects to protect their plants from damage caused by these new feedstocks. In addition, refiners are increasingly turning to online integrity sensors to quickly detect corrosion and mitigate unwanted risk, helping to ensure that their critical assets remain healthy and reliable. With these strategies in place, refiners can effectively manage the challenges of incorporating “bio” feedstocks into their refining processes while ensuring the safety and longevity of their equipment. This paper will feature a case study from a major European refiner who have converted an old hydroprocessing unit into producing sustainable fuels from 100% bio feedstock.

Safe and stable operation of the process plant through its life cycle is an ultimate target of any integrity management system. Over the last decades, a number of possible ways and systems for managing plant integrity were described and implemented.1-4 A common path for all those efforts was to control and manage corrosion processes in a more-or-less systematic way by applying certain measures (monitoring techniques, material selection guidelines, operating procedures etc.) and performance indicators (remaining time-to-failure, inhibitor usage etc.). An effective corrosion and integrity management system, in theory, should be capable to “uncover” excessive corrosion incidents before serious damage occurs. Unfortunately, unexpected corrosion-related failures are still occurring in the petroleum industry.5 This situation stems predominantly from relatively poor data organization and management, leaving corrosion and key process information spread and hidden across different refinery functions and systems.

In recent years production of oil and gas from shale formations has multiplied and now contributes significantly to oil and gas supply. This type of unconventional production differs from historical conventional approaches with far reaching consequences for asset integrity management.The present paper outlines corrosion threats associated with shale development including acidizing fracing flowback CO2 and H2S in produced fluids and artificial lift. Usually little detailed information about corrosive exposure is available upfront. The production mode contributes to complex and highly variable environmental conditions. Corrosion cracking and weight loss corrosion of well completion materials are known to have occurred.Whereas classical asset integrity management is usually rolled out over many years the typical timescale in shale production ranges from just months to a few years driving low-cost quick earn-back scenarios. This paper discussed the consequences for materials selection and corrosion control.

The long term performance of any coating system will be limited by the ability of the applicator to achieve the best combination of surface preparation, application, and curing. In oil and gas facility construction, sometimes the most appropriate coating system is not the best available technology, but rather the system that ensures the highest probability for success based on the environmental conditions during application. An example is presented in which a zinc rich epoxy coating provides clear advantages over the specified inorganic zinc silicate due to circumstances specific to the particular application.

A life cycle costing analysis (LCCA) is the process of compiling cost estimates for each coating system option in combination with the expected life span of each of those options. In general terms, the lowest cost per year of service is the most economical choice. This LCCA process can be paired with an environmental impact analysis to evaluate the sustainability considerations of managing the water tank asset. One of the most commonly addressed factors in an environment life cycle assessment is a calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a process, presented in equivalent CO2 emissions.

This paper will explore the process of conducting asset integrity management systems and the potential use for the existing facility data to analyze integrity status and predict any breach of integrity that would cause a direct major incident. In the dawn of the 4th industrial revolution and in the age of automation and artificial intelligence, asset integrity management systems are being integrated into a more sophisticated process of verification. Programs are being used to collect necessary risk-based data from inspection, maintenance programs and operational checklists in order to rationalize the integrity status and alert proponents of possible breach of integrity. These systems are more efficient than humans in predicting possible failures based on collective data from several critical elements from a facility and calculate the probability of failure based on the current integrity status. It is possible to optimize such systems to eliminate the human error factor and optimize inspection, maintenance and operation programs to better manage asset integrity. The result would be a software that would provide an overview of the plant’s integrity status and provide early alerts of any incoming incident event which allows the facility’s management to act accordingly and direct resources for effective prevention and mitigation.
