This guide describes the use of reference photographs depicting the appearance of both previously unpainted and previously painted and partially rusted hot-rolled carbon steel prior to and after abrasive blast cleaning.

The reference photographs consist of a series of 1:1 (actual size) color photographs. The photographs were taken under controlled studio lighting designed to show the maximum detail possible.

Highlighted in the guide are five initial rust conditions before surface preparation, covering the rand from intact mill scale to rusted and pitted steel, as well as previously painted steel.

High Performance Solutions for the Mitigation or Elimination of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

Product Number: MECC23-20243-SG

Author: Neil Wilds

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Corrosion under insulation represents a real threat not just to the assets used in heavy industry / Oil & Gas but also to life. This has been demonstrated through the years with millions of dollars of lost assets/production and unfortunately injuries and deaths. For this reason there have been many documents which have providing guidance not only for design of equipment against CUI but also the pre-qualification/testing of coating systems.

Online Asset and Integrity Monitoring to Enhance Safety, Reliability and Profitability

Product Number: MECC23-20244-SG

Author: Ammar Almousa; William Fazackerley

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Over the past decades cost pressure in oil refining has increased, especially in Europe where the consumption of oil products is decreasing over time. Refineries are investigating ways to increase margin and, given that they account for around 80% of total refinery expenditure, reduction of crude oil cost is a key factor. One way of doing this is to purchase cheaper and generally less desirable crude from global markets.

Product Number: 51324-20750-SG

Author: Bernardo Duran; Wade Campbell; Evan Stuart

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper, which serves to accompany a presentatiopn at the AMPP Annual Conference 2024, discusses the preperation and coating of coincrete with thermal spray zinc to protect the underlying steel reinforcement from corrosion on two bridges in regon. Descriptions cover the inspection, preperation, and repair of the concrete, and then follow up woth explanations on the application of the thermal zinc coating. Lastly, the presentation will summarize how the anode provided by the zinc coating protects the underlying steel reinforcement, and how it can be maintained and inspected over ites expected service life.

MEA Triazine Contactor Optimization to Increase Efficiency and Reduce Fouling Potential

Product Number: 51324-20391-SG

Author: Willem-Louis Marais

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Liquid absorbents have been utilized for decades to remove impurities from produced natural gas. Throughout the last 15 years, monoethanolamine (MEA) triazine has become an industry-recognized name for the removal of sour gas (H2S). MEA triazine has one of the lowest cost profiles in terms of cost per mass of H2S removed and has obtained a commodity status. It is widely used in the oil and gas industry, both on production (upstream, midstream) and processing (downstream). MEA Triazine is typically applied via direct injection into flowlines or applied in contactor vessels (“scrubbers”, “towers”, “bubble columns”). The application type depends on numerous factors but in general, the application via contactor vessel is preferred due to its increased efficiency. However, due to the many different contactor configurations available, a wide range of efficiencies are achieved, ranging from 50 – 70%. MEA Triazine systems are also known to foul with acid-insoluble polymeric solids. This occurs when the MEA Triazine and its reaction products are not managed properly, or the system is not designed for the specific conditions. The spent material, commonly referred to as dithiazine, can form solids (amorphous dithiazine) in the contactor packing, post contactor separator, or in downstream pipelines if carry-over occurs. This paper aims to provide the reader guidance on how to optimize MEA Triazine contactor vessels to achieve maximum efficiency and to reduce or eliminate fouling. Optimization principles discussed will include contactor configurations, contactor modifications, and MEA Triazine properties and its effect on system performance. Increasing system efficiency and eliminating solids formation in these systems will have a direct impact on the user’s operating expense (OPEX). This is due to better scavenger utilization and a reduction in maintenance and downtime due to solids formation. A reduction in scope three emissions will also be achieved.

Revised in 2020! This standard on corrosion prevention and control (CPC) planning is intended to support future CPC improvements to national acquisition and sustainment of equipment, systems, facilities, and infrastructure at an acceptable cost. It provides a standardized framework for a supplier’s plan to control corrosion of supplied products and structures. The standard is intended for use by public and private facility owners/acquisition agencies that require their suppliers to provide corrosion prevention and control procedures as a deliverable provided with the purchased product, installation, or system. The standard includes:

Attributes of the supplied product, system or facility that require planning for CPC;
Considerations for material selection and design of a product, system or facility to minimize corrosion;
Items or topics that should be addressed in a CPC plan;

Items or topics that should be addressed in CPC planning which affect CPC in design, fabrication and construction, operation and use, and maintenance and sustainability;
Characteristics of the key elements of CPC planning;
New in this revision - Approaches to CPC assessment.

PHMSA Gas Pipeline Mega Rule

Product Number: 51324-20895-SG

Author: Sasan M Hosein

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) recently released the final rule known as the “Mega Rule” which includes a set of regulations designed to improve pipeline safety by reducing the frequency of pipeline failures. The intent of the rule is to address lessons learned following the Pacific Gas and Electric Company rupture and release in San Bruno, California, in September 2010. On September 9, 2010, a natural gas pipeline owned by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) exploded in San Bruno, CA. creating a fire that killed eight people, destroyed more than 100 homes and cost $2.8 billion. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that PG&E had a faulty integrity management (IM) system that failed to detect a defective section of the pipeline resulting in the devastating explosion. The PG&E incident spurred action from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to revise the existing Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations (FPSR) to improve the safety of onshore gas transmission pipelines. These revisions are known as the Mega Rule. This final rule responds to the incident by extending existing design, operational and maintenance, and reporting requirements under the Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations to onshore natural gas transmission pipelines and gathering pipelines in rural areas. The Mega Rule is a sweeping set of regulations comprised of three parts: • Part 1 focuses on the safety of gas transmission pipelines. • Part 2 introduces new guidelines about IM, updated requirements for high consequence areas (HCAs) and expectations for operators following extreme weather events and natural disasters. • Part 3 expands certain safety requirements to all onshore gas gathering pipelines.

NACE WJ-1/SSPC-SP WJ-1-2021, Waterjet Cleaning of Metals—Clean to Bare Substrate (WJ-1)

Product Number: NACE WJ-1/SSPC-SP WJ-1-2021

Publication Date: 2021

$109.00

This NACE/SSPC joint standard defines the Clean to Bare Substrate (WJ-1) degree of surface cleanliness of coated or uncoated metallic substrates achieved by the use of waterjet cleaning prior to the application of a protective coating or lining. Waterjet cleaning is the use of pressurized surface preparation water for removing coatings and other materials, including hazardous materials, from a substrate to achieve a defined degree of surface cleanliness. Waterjet clean- ing includes various methods such as low-pressure water cleaning (LP WC), high-pressure water cleaning (HP WC), high-pressure waterjetting (HP WJ), and ultrahigh-pressure waterjetting (UHP WJ).
