"Mold And Mildew Investigation and Testing of Navy Interior Coatings"

Product Number: 51323-18804-SG

Mold and mildew growth within Navy ships is a significant issue across the fleet. To investigate this issue the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) and the Strategic Environmental
Research and Development Program (SERDP) funded an investigation into the prevalence of mold in the fleet, with the end goal of developing solutions to remediate and prevent future mold growth. Thus
far, mold and coating data was collected from 26 ships across 6 geographic locations. These mold samples have been analyzed to determine the most common species and highlight those that are toxigenic.

Asset owners spend significant monies each year on the construction of new and the maintenance of existing infrastructure. More than ever, these funds can be difficult to procure and budget. The owners include, both municipal and industrial entities and funds are limited in most cases, therefore, asset service life is very important to all parties.

“Effect of Material's Surface Hardness on Solid Particle Erosion Resistance of Tungsten Carbides and Stainless Steel 316 in Sand-Air Flows”

In oil and gas industries the material surface of pipelines, tools, and equipment is exposed to many harsh operational conditions- one of which is the repetitive impingement of contaminated solid particles when encountering a mixture of gas and sand or liquid solids-laden slurries. In addition to maintenance and material expenses, mass loss of materials due to erosion results in unstable production rates. Hence, predicting the erosion provides the ability to optimize the design and qualify it for operation in an erosive environment for the required operational life.

15.5-Year Inspection Reveals the Effectiveness of a Single-Coat Epoxy

Product Number: 51322-17996-SG

In the mid-1990s, the US Navy’s technical community, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), recognized existing coatings used to protect the inside of ships’ tanks were failing on average 5-8 years after application. The high cost to blast and recoat over 11,000 tanks every 5-8 years, not counting submarines and aircraft carriers, was prohibitive. To address this issue, the Navy conducted a study to analyze the problem and decided to replace these legacy coatings with high solid epoxy coatings.¹

2-Layer Polyethylene Plant Applied Mainline Coating for Use in Water and Wastewater Pipeline Applications

Product Number: 51324-20761-SG

Author: Samuel Thomas

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper will review what a 2-layer polyethylene coating consists of, the application and use as an external mainline coating for both ductile iron and carbon steel pipe. Laboratory data will be reviewed regarding UV aging and thermal and hydrolytic aging and mechanical properties. Examples of field installations will also be discussed. Case histories regarding long term in-ground performance of 2-layer polyethylene plant applied external corrosion coatings will be discussed.

3D Printing Of Cemented Carbide: A Review And Perspectives In Oil Sands

Canada's oil sands are the third largest deposit of crude oil in the world, and consist of a mixture of sand, water, and bitumen. Due to an aggressive operating environment that includes abrasive sands and corrosive chemicals, oil sands equipment and process piping often experience severe wear and erosion-corrosion, which can lead to the risk of equipment failures, plant downtime or, even worse, environmental leaks [1]. For more than half a century, oil sands producers have collaborated with materials suppliers, equipment fabricators, and technology providers to develop wear technologies to reduce downtime and improve operational reliability.

40-Year Maintenance Free Coating Solution for Offshore Structures

Product Number: 51324-20591-SG

Author: Darren Ward; Mike O'Donoghue; Vijay Datta

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Offshore assets such as those found on wind farms are being designed to have extended lifetimes of more than 40 years to offer a sustainable form of energy generation. With offshore maintenance considered a hazardous and expensive process, owners are looking for low or maintenance free solutions to protect their assets. The challenge to the coating manufacturer is twofold, firstly to design a coating system that offers a maintenance free solution in a highly corrosive environment and secondly demonstrating long term performance. This paper will describe a 40-year case history of a coating system applied to the hull of a offshore TLP with submerged, splash/tidal, and atmospheric zone. We will describe both the technology approach using high loadings of lamellar glass flake to enhance both abrasion and mechanical properties and secondly demonstrate the in-service properties of the coating system after 40 years exposure including visual appearance, adhesion, cross sectional optical microscopy and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The coating integrity has been well maintained by a multiple coating application. We will discuss the key product attributes that are relevant to providing a high durability coating solution for extreme environments. We will also introduce a new international standard related to the offshore wind industry with particular focus on extending asset lifetime through appropriate coating specification and selection.

50 mV As a Screening Criteria for Shorted Casings – Case Study

Product Number: 51323-18899-SG

Author: Keith Parker, Len Krissa, Kris Hoisington

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

While performing cathodic protection surveys, carrier pipe and casing potential readings are typically recorded at the same test station location near the end of a casing. Comparing these potentials should reveal a difference between the cathodically protected pipe versus an unprotected and electrically isolated casing. The difference in potentials is one of available tests to determine whether a casing may be electrically shorted to the carrier pipe. The pipe-to-electrolyte and casing-to-electrolyte potential comparison is usually the initial “screening” method.

51393-069-Prediction of CO2 Corrosion of Carbon Steel

Product Number: 51393-069-SG

Author: C. de Waard, U.Lotz

Publication Date: 1993

$20.00

Various aspects of the mechanism of C02 corrosion are reviewed, together with a discussion about the validity of a number of simplifications which can be used with models for predicting the corrosion rate. A "worst case" rate can often be predicted. To this end a number of parameters has been identified, the

influence of which has to be accounted for. The effects of protective corrosion product layers and of dissolved corrosion product on pH needs to be included in the prediction. More quantitative information about the effect of flowpattern and flowrate is needed. For wet gas pipelines, the prediction of the effect of injection of glycol as a measure against corrosion is of special interest. Predictive models consisting of a system of rules and equations can be conveniently developed in computer spreadsheets.
