Biodegradable Antifouling Coating

Product Number: MPWT19-15293

Author: Mohammad Mizanur Rahman

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Due to the regulations of toxic biocidal products in marine environments, the development of nontoxic antifouling (AF) coatings has become required. The development of nontoxic antifouling formulations implies the use of ingredients (such as: polymers, additives and pigments) that are devoid of toxicity towards marine environments. In this regard, erodible coatings, based on biodegradable polymer, are used to respond to this problem. Recently, polyurethane (PU) has been adopted into antifouling coating due to its ability to migrate the certain functional groups which resist the attachment of fouling. Biodegradation of PU can accelerate the erodible properties which ultimately improve the antifouling properties. In this study, a series of biodegradable PU coatings was formulated by tuning biodegradable polyol. The antifouling performance was evaluated after certain intervals.

Self-polishing coatings (SPC) are widely being used in marine structures to protect metals from fouling. After restrictions on using toxic metals, coating industry are seeking environmentally-friendly SPC coatings that maintain their performance over extended periods. Unfortunately, most of the commercial SPC coatings contain different toxic materials, besides their performance is inadequate to prevent fouling under adverse conditions. The main mechanism of SPC coating is to facilitate the continuous renewal of the surface and the release of active compound via a hydrolysis reaction or an ion exchange reaction with seawater. In this study, polyurethane (PU) SPC coatings were synthesized by in-situ polymerization using biodegradable polyol. The polishing rate of coating was determined from the reduction in dry film thickness after artificial seawater immersion under a dynamic condition. The fouling resistance of coatings was considered after certain interval.

The unprecedented growth in the use of bio-based feedstocks in the Oil and Gas industry has led to several research efforts on the part of coating manufacturers to determine best options for the lining of feedstock storage tanks. While a few technologies have emerged as good, better, and best candidates to withstand the chemical exposure and storage temperature of the feedstocks, their application requirements for application conditions vary widely. Given the geographical locations of the facilities that are involved in the production of biofuels, the site environmental conditions make some of the lining options less practical than others for the application of the selected technologies. This paper will screen coatings with different physical properties to support the initial selection process. The results of the tested technologies discuss the preselection of linings for various feedstocks for short term storage. The R & D has been scaled up at different part of the world to mitigate corrosion in Biofuels markets. Due to significant growth in bio fuels the raw feed stock supply options keep growing from standard vegetable seed oils and animal fat to remaining agricultural waste, other animal wastes, municipal wastes etc. This increases the unknown variables in the process causing corrosion and solutions to mitigate. These waste to fuel category is attracting diversified feed stocks in offering from the new market. The findings to adopt the fit for purpose approach is aimed in tooling owners and operators in the journey.

A biofuel can be described as any fuel where bio-based renewables like oils and fats, organic waste, crops like corn or sugar cane, and algae, etc., are used as precursor feedstocks.

Increasingly, the production of biofuels from biomass is very much part of a global impetus for an energy transition to a “carbon neutral” world. The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint and ensure that sustainable energy from bio-based feedstocks realistically lowers reliance on energy produced from fossil fuels.

Creep is a continuous degradation of metal under applied stress at high temperature with critical factors of temperature, stress, type of material and exposure time. Most of our steam boilers and fired heaters tubes are operating within or sometimes operated slightly above the creep threshold temperature with an inherent potential risk of stress rupture if not being monitored properly. Traditionally, degradation rates (i.e., creep damage) of these components can only be assessed during shutdown through non-destructive testing (NDT) to determine the metallurgical conditions upon exposure to elevated temperatures.

The brake system is a core component of cars, motorbikes, bikes, airplanes etc.. Its main task is to modulate the speed of moving vehicles by converting the kinetic energy into heat.^1,2 In the case of modern cars or motorbikes, the speed modulation can be performed by using the so-called disc-brake system.^1,2,3,4,5,6 This generates the braking torque by forcing two brake pads against a disc by the means of a caliper.^2,3,5,6 In the case of cars, the disc and the caliper are enclosed within each wheel and, as a consequence, can be exposed to corrosion phenomena, mostly related with atmospheric or environmental conditions.^1,3,7,8

Publication Date: 2024

A 2018 study by Utah State University indicated that the condition of North America’s water infrastructure is in a state of steady decline. That research determined that the water main break rate increased 27% for the 6-year period between 2012-2018, with over 80% of the cast iron pipelines currently in service being over 50 years old. Referenced statistics indicate there has been an average of 14 leaks per 100 miles of operating pipeline, and that each mile of pipeline serves approximately 300 consumers. Further increases in the water main leak rate represent a major disruption in reliable water supply to a large population. Excluding third-party damage, metal loss because of corrosion is the most common cause of premature failure and leakage of buried pipelines. Corrosion is a predictable process, whereas third-party damage is random in nature. Methodologies have been developed over the past few decades to identify anomalies and areas susceptible to active corrosion on underground pipelines. Using the data from these analytics, it is possible to implement local corrosion control to rapidly decrease the water main break rate. A methodology has been developed and applied to drive this process in a systematic approach. Break Reduction/Life Extension (BRLE) is a proactive engineering program developed to: · Reduce the number of future breaks on water system piping · Extend the operational life of existing water system piping Using a combination of factors, such as pipeline age, materials type and break history, with the data gathered in the field, it is possible to identify activities to initiate measures to reduce the water main break rate. This paper will present details on the BRLE methodology and provide data from case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
