Electronic Management of Paint Records - Paperless QA

Product Number: 41214-860-SG

Author: James G. Taylor, Jr.

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

The previous quality control process at Newport News Shipbuilding for recording surface preparation, paint application, and associated inspections used a paper system. These records required a vast amount of physical storage space, were difficult to research and track due to the complexity of the records often consisting of multiple sheets of data. To address these problems along with others that contribute to inadequate maintenance of objective quality evidence, the company decided to take the initiative in resolving this issue by developing a paperless QA system.

Field Experience of Duplex Stainless-Steel Pipes in Stagnant Condition

Product Number: 51324-20361-SG

Author: Amjad Al Kharusi; Janardhan Rao Saithala; Mohammed Al Ghafri; Talal Nabhani

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Flowlines in the Oil & Gas industry play a pivotal role in ensuring the safe and dependable production of hydrocarbons. Maintaining their integrity stands as a critical responsibility for all operators. Duplex stainless steel (DSS) materials find extensive use within our organization, particularly in upstream Oil & gas, across various critical applications such as pipelines and flowlines. These DSS pipelines are versatile, serving not only in traditional oil transmission but also in diverse applications like water supply, un-stabilized condensate transportation, and the conveyance of wet gas. In recent years, PDO has faced challenges associated with the premature failure of DSS flowlines and pipelines. These failures have been linked to issues arising during hydrotesting, maintenance, and subsurface fracking operations, primarily due to liquid stagnation. This paper presents a comprehensive case study focusing on premature DSS failures, offering insights into our strategies for preserving the integrity of flowlines during extended well shutdowns.

It’s Stainless Steel, We Don’t Need to Worry……Right?

Product Number: 51323-19530-SG

Author: Rafael Zamora, Will Durnie, Chris Williams, Joe Gleeson, Tim Evans

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

This paper focuses on the risk of corrosion of austenitic stainless steels following exposure to oxygenated chloride containing waters, such as during hydrotesting or commissioning activities.

Hydrotesting is an activity typically occurring during construction intended to confirm the component's structural integrity for the design and operating pressure. The commissioning phase can use the same water in multiple systems for dynamic commissioning.

LAY-UP CONSTRUCTABILITY CHALLENGES IN CROSS COUNTRY GAS PIPELINES

Product Number: MPWT19-15299

Author: Mostafa A. Alabudib

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Lay-up is a process that provides internal protection on equipment (pipeline, piping, heat exchanger...etc.) and controls internal corrosion by ensuring water and oxygen-free environments. Corrosion may occur and be accelerated by water contact after hydrostatic testing and even a small amount of stagnant water and oxygen ingress will cause bacteria to grow in water which may result in loss of thickness due to high concentration of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and accelerate internal corrosion in equipment due to Microbiological Induced Corrosion (MIC). Lay-up helps to greatly reduce these risks of internal corrosion and provide assurance of design life. The objective of this study is to identify constructability challenges faced during construction and carry out a lay-up in a cross country pipeline in gaseous services. Six challenges are discussed and explored in the study including: the long duration from water fill to final lay-up, pipeline segments are used as water reservoirs, intermediate/segment lay-up, failure to maintain lay-up, indefinite lay-up periods, and rainwater. A case scenario is used to demonstrate the extent of these challenges and issues. It is hoped that this study will help avoid and minimize these constructability challenges in future cross country gas pipelines projects.

Necessity and Challenges of Using a Float Coat for Preservation of Ballast Tanks

Product Number: 51317--9366-SG

ISBN: 9366 2017 CP

Author: John Wulterkens

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Traditional water treatment methods pose several challenges to large-vessel preservation. A solution to these challenges involves the application of an immiscible corrosion inhibiting oil partition on the water surface. This paper will highlight challenges of traditional preservation methods and examine the efficacy of one commercial float coat.

Preservation of the U.S.S. Monitor Project Hampton Roads Chapter of the SSPC

Product Number: 41207-302-SG

Author: Charlie Ayres

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

On March 8, 1862 in Hampton Roads, Virginia the first iron clad vessel on the seas, the CSS Virginia (known to Northerners as the Merrimac), had its way with the navy of the Union. It was able to sail unmolested among the ships of the Union Navy and fire at will while taking hits itself with impunity. When dusk arrived the Virginia went to anchorage to wait for sunrise when it could inflict more damage.

Preventive Maintenance in Older Facilities

Product Number: 41208-462-SG

Author: Bruce Woodruff

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Many industries are operating under severely limited O&M budgets and have been for some time. “Lean and mean” in today’s reality has become “mal-nourished and over stressed”. The last major corrosion study conducted in our industry showed a $276 Billion/Yr. deficit of which 75% was unrecoverable. Now a new study has determined that it is never too late to restore measurable viability to a facility's operation through adequate and proper preventive maintenance. This is good news, providing we can adequately demonstrate and use it.

Redefining Conventional, with Biobased Alternatives

Product Number: 51324-20797-SG

Author: Luke Stone; Lisa Marston

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Corrosion mitigation is fundamentally a practice of material stewardship, it prolongs service life and safety of both equipment and infrastructure. Conventional corrosion mitigation techniques often diminish these benefits by sourcing and employing harmful chemicals. However, there are alternatives; green chemistries are being utilized in corrosion mitigation techniques, from rust preventatives made with renewable feedstocks and those certified Biobased by the USDA BioPreferred Program, to environmentally friendly disposal pathways. With thoughtful designs, Circular Economy principles can be incorporated into the field of corrosion management. In this paper, a range of corrosion management products, and case histories of their successful adoption will be presented. Some highlights include: The replacement of a solvent-based rust preventative (RP) with a biobased and water-based RP, the use of a canola-oil based rust preventative as a long-term protection solution at a major automotive firm, as well as the use of a biobased vapor-phase corrosion preventative which replaces traditional petroleum-based foam.

Spot Painting as a Bridge Preservation Tool

Product Number: 41214-835-SG

Author: Bobby W. Meade, Sudhir Palle, Theodore Hopwood II

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

One of the, if not the most, vexing problems for bridge maintenance personnel is the deterioration of bridge components below leaking joints. The joints may be open or closed, construction or expansion, but all seemingly leak shortly after construction or resealing. The bridge components affected by the leaking joints may be steel or concrete, but the end result is the same, deterioration.
