A Novel Methodology For Addressing Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Utilizing Corrosion Inhibitor Impregnated Self-Amalgamating Silicone Based Tape

Product Number: 51322-17931-SG

Author: Phillip Low

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Integrity management of corrosion under insulation (CUI) has historically and continues to be one of the biggest corrosion related challenges within the oil & gas, maritime, chemical and petrochemical industries.² Corrosion of piping, associated flanges, pressure vessels and structural components from CUI is a commonly found phenomenon and if left undetected or not stringently managed can result in catastrophic leaks or explosions, equipment failure and periods of prolonged downtime due to repair or replacement. It is estimated around 40% to 60% of an operator’s pipeline maintenance budget is a result of CUI.³

Do's and Don'ts of Greenfield Pressure Systems Integrity Program Development

Product Number: 51324-20861-SG

Author: Adam Haavisto

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Greenfield pressure system integrity program development provides unique opportunities and challenges for an asset's inspection program. As new projects become more complex and a global effort, a well-tuned integrity program provides significant risk reduction and quality checks against the design. This paper is intended to help managers and asset owners optimize their greenfield integrity program to identify new risks while providing cost effective programs. The paper will discuss the optimal time to start their program development, who should be involved, how you can integrate design and operation teams, and be provide additional value-added reasons to have an integrity program in place before commissioning.

Integrity Maintaining and Cost Saving Advanced CUI Detection Technique (PEC)

Product Number: MPWT19-14242

Author: Amro Hassanein, Ahmed Elsharkawi

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a major problem for petroleum and petrochemical process industries that affects the plant mechanical integrity and attacks assets. CUI can result in sudden and hazardous leaks (safety concern), and plant shutdowns with high losses of production (economical concern).
Traditional detecting methods of CUI to cut a window in thermal insulation used to inspect visually, to measure the thickness, and then return thermal insulation back, giving high chance for water and moisture ingress, accelerating CUI, moreover big amount of scaffolding erection along with thermal insulation removal required.
SHARQ (Eastern Petrochemical Company, one of SABIC companies) is pioneer to study CUI, evaluating many Non–Destructive techniques has proven Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) as the most effective technique in terms of integrity and cost optimization.
Considering all available techniques, all aspects studied, such as range of applications, features, and limitations, it is concluded and verified to meet our inspection plan strategy needs.
PEC does not require thermal insulation removal; optimize scaffolding erection, has a wide range of applications related to thickness, and temperature. PEC approved by international codes and standards (API) to meet RBI Meridium software requirements.
The validation study results show cost savings of more than 50% compared to traditional thickness measurement methodology, moreover it reduces EHSS (Environment, Health, Safety, and Security) negative impact reduces the probability of safety incidents due to reducing labor, man-hours, and eliminating many associated activities with potential hazard and risk.
PEC has high productivity, easily operated, and provides comprehensive and professional inspection report

Internal Corrosion in Natural Gas Pipelines

Product Number: 51323-19507-SG

Author: Christopher A. Walker

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Corrosion is defined as the degradation of a material or its properties due to a reaction with the environment and is one of the most common pipeline integrity threats for operators. External corrosion may be visually inspected during excavation; however, due to accessibility, additional non-destructive examination (NDE) methods must be utilized to identify the presence and severity of internal corrosion.

Understanding the chemistry and electrical properties of how corrosion occurs aids in mitigating the presence of corrosion, specifically internal corrosion.
