Performing Coating And Corrosion Assessments To Maintain Military Fuel Piping

Performing Coating and Corrosion Assessments to Maintain Military Fuel Piping
Available for download

In any military base, there are numerous assets that need to be maintained.  These assets can easily be traced from the fuel offload all the way through to the fuel dispenser.  In between, this fuel travels through pipelines, into storage tanks, into pump stations, through filter separators, into fuel dispensers, and finally into either a track or non-track vehicle including jets.  Therefore, it is extremely important to develop a system to inventory all assets and perform condition assessments on each to prevent degradation, corrosion, possible section loss of the metallic substrate, and loss of the liquid fuel.  This paper will highlight some of the assets related to the fuels pipeline and related assets.

The US Military has and maintains several thousand bases.  Several hundred of those bases are outside the United States.  The Air National Guard has several hundred installations across the United States.  One commonality at each of these facilities is a Fuels Management System, that is, a collection of pipelines, storage tanks, containment dikes, pumping stations, fuel islands, and canopies.  Maintaining all the above ground and underground assets is no small task so one important method of preventative maintenance includes a regular coatings and corrosion assessment/survey.

Silicon is an important element of our Planet’s crust, which is transferred into water streams through dissolution.1 Hence, it is usually found as water-soluble silicate or colloidal silica in natural surface waters (sea, rivers, lakes), or underground waters. When such water is used for industrial purposes (eg. industrial cooling), silicate can enter the operating system and can pose a threat to its proper operation. The main reason is the solubility of amorphous silica, a product of the silicate polycondensation process.

Inorganic scaling and fouling are undesirable processes occurring in process waters that are supersaturated with respect to scaling cations and anions. Mineral scaling is the result of nucleation and crystal growth phenomena that follow predictable pathways. This is because the mineral scales are composed of well-defined crystalline salts, the most common being calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate dehydrate (gypsum), metal sulfides, depending on the particular water chemistry and operational parameters (eg. temperature).

Fouling of equipment surface by unwanted materials is a well-documented problem in
industrial water systems.1 The foulants are generally classified into four categories: a)
mineral scales i.e., calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, magnesium
hydroxide, etc., b) corrosion products i.e., iron oxide, zinc oxide, copper oxide, etc., c)
microbiological mass i.e., bacteria, algae, fungi, and other organisms, and d) deposits
i.e., clay, silt, calcium-inhibitor salts, corrosion products, etc.
