Biofuels: Lining Systems for a Diverse Array of Sustainably Derived Feedstocks

Product Number: 51323-19061-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, Vijay Datta

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

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.

Bridge Coating Maintenance Strategies

Product Number: 51322-18061-SG

Author: Eric Shoyer, Nick Fabritiis, Pete Ault, Peter McDonagh

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

When it comes to a bridge structure with a serviceable Organic Zinc / Epoxy / Urethane (OZ/E/U) coating system, there is no golden answer on the most cost-effective maintenance painting strategy. Depending on the severity and amount of corrosion and coating breakdown on the structure, planned maintenance surface preparations range from spot power tool cleaning and spot painting to a full SSPC-SP 10 media blast and full recoating operation.

Effectiveness of Epoxy and Moisture-Cure Polyurethane Coatings in Corrosion Mitigation of Embedded Rebar- an Experimental Study

Product Number: 51320-14405-SG

Author: Raghava Kumar Vanama, Balaji Ramakrishnan

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Chloride induced corrosion is the prime reason for the degradation of embedded rebar in reinforced concrete marine structures. The present study experimentally investigates the effectiveness of traditional two-component epoxy (EPX), and moisture-cure polyurethane coatings (MC) applied on the concrete surface in reducing the rate of chloride ingression compared to the conventional concrete with and without mineral admixtures like fly ash and GGBS. Coatings used in the present study are characterized by XRD, EDAX, FEG-SEM, water uptake, adhesion strength and contact angle tests. Rapid chloride migration tests (RCMT) were conducted on concrete with and without coatings. Resistivity offered against the chloride migration monitored during the RCMT test indicated that concrete with MC shown higher resistivity in the initial period and continued to decrease over the test duration at a faster rate, unlike EPX. The non-steady-state migration coefficients of the concrete cured for 28days and coated with MC and EPX coatings were found to be nearly 22% and 48% of that of concrete with SCM cured for 84days respectively. The study is further extended to monitor the corrosion of rebar embedded in coated concrete subjected to corrosion acceleration until the first crack appeared on an uncoated specimen. Variation in current flow, half-cell potentials recorded during the acceleration test and actual mass loss of embedded rebar estimated by gravimetric analysis are presented in this paper.

Epoxy Linings - Solvent-Free But Not Problem-Free

Product Number: 41205-162-SG

Author: Mark B. Dromgool

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Solvent-free epoxy coatings have been widely specified and used over recent years in Australia as linings for a variety of immersion service exposures, specifically for potable water storage and tank linings for some petroleum products. However, they have not always delivered the durability or performance hoped for.

Evaluation and Prediction of Protective Performance for Epoxy Systems and Epoxy/Polyurethane Systems in Wet and Dry Environments

Product Number: 41206-258-SG

Author: Chul-Hwan Lee, Chil-Seok Shin, Kwang-Ki Baek

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Current coating practice requires the thickness of anti-corrosion organic coatings to be over 250 for immersion parts of ships and offshore structures and the protective performance of these coatings has been evaluated by destructive and qualitative analysis. Recently, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method has been employed, as an alternative, to evaluate corrosion resistance of organic coatings. This method is characterized as being nondestructive, reproducible, and quantitative in evaluating aging of organic coatings.

Field Experience of Various Coating Systems in Oil & Gas Industry

Product Number: 51324-20360-SG

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

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Internal and external coatings have been used extensively for the corrosion protection of a wide range of process components such as flowlines, pipelines, piping, vessels, tanks etc. that are used in oil and gas industry. Coatings are a critical barrier as part of a corrosion management strategy and shall be capable of providing long term corrosion protection in corrosive environment. Coatings are exposed to wide range of temperatures, high pressure environments, and acid gases (H2S and CO2), and are subjected to mechanical damage, etc. during operating service life. The authors’ company has extensive experience of using various coating systems for over 40 years. Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings and glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) linings are primarily used as internal coatings, and three-layer polypropylene (3LPP), three-layer polyethylene (3LPE), thermal spray aluminum (TSA), and epoxy coatings are used as external coatings in hydrocarbon and water injection service. During design, it is anticipated that coatings will meet expected design life, however, premature coating failures are reoccurring for various reasons, which result in significant oil & gas deferment and unplanned shutdowns. This paper will present two case studies on field experience of different coating systems and contributing factors that led to premature failures. The three main contributing factors to premature failure are quality QA/QC during coating application, incorrect coating selection, and coating damage during installation.

Finish Standards For Intumescent Cellulosic Fire Protection

Product Number: 51322-18100-SG

Author: Max Tritremmel

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

When choosing a Fire-Protection material to meet building code requirements to insulate steel for a prescribed period to facilitate safe evacuations and emergency response from commercial buildings in the event of a fire, there are many factors that influence the selection of an Intumescent Fire Resistive Material (IFRM) over a Spray Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM). It could be a concern of the weight of the system; Portland Cement based SFRM’s are typically much heavier and bulkier than IFRM’s. Another factor could be durability, based on either corrosion resistance or the ability to withstand considerable physical or environmental damage.

Glassflake Epoxy - An excellent System for Offshore Platforms Splash Zone

Product Number: 41205-179-SG

Author: A.S.Khanna

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Due to very severe conditions at offshore, conventional coatings do not work as they require multicoats to acquire high thickness and their curing times are rather high, giving chances for the contamination by severe environment (high RH and salt) in the intermediate layers. Thus, modern coatings which can give larger thickness in just one single coat and cure in a few minutes time are required for critical applications such as splash zone which is marred by continuous dry and wet spell.
