At Savannah River Site (SRS), High-Level Waste is stored in below-grade tanks constructed of carbon steel. This waste is composed of sludge, salt cake, and/or supernate. In part, preparation of this waste for future processing involves dissolution of the salt cake layer.
Measuring the severity of corrosion on a specific alloy is often accomplished via mass loss using ASTM G-1. These processes work well and provide high fidelity data for many materials, especially steels. However, recent internal findings and disclosures from other research groups have highlighted a potential issue with using mass loss techniques to measure the damage on some aluminum alloy surfaces.
Extraction units are typically utilizing the solvents to dissolve the aromatics compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes from hydrocarbon stream. These solvents are organo-sulfur compound which is readily soluble in the water due to high polarity of oxygen-sulfur compounds.
Fresh solvents are not considered to be corrosive for carbon steel and stainless-steel components, however improper application and handling of this solvents will result in degradation of this products.
Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is part of decarbonization solutions to reduce green-house gas emissions, as exemplified by the growing number of capital expenditure projects worldwide.1-2 In CCUS, the carbon dioxide (CO2) is consecutively (1) captured at origin, such as power plants and natural gas production sites, (2) separated from other gases and impurities, (3) compressed, (4) transported through pipelines, and finally (5) injected into a storage site such as deleted hydrocarbon wells, saline aquafers, coal beds, underground caverns, or seawater.1,3 Since the 1970s, specifically the first commercial carbon dioxide flooding in the United States (known as SACROC), carbon dioxide sequestration has been largely discussed in the context of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), not in the newer context of Sustainability. Nonetheless, substantial experience has been drawn from EOR, including for the selection of the right and economical materials.4 As reflected by the literature, past materials test programs have rarely given any attention to downhole jewelry alloys compared to tubulars or surface-infrastructure alloys, and consequently the track records for such bar-stock alloys are either inexistent or not readily available. 5-7 This lack of apparent return-on-experience represents a knowledge gap against the prospect of a safe greenhouse gas control method; needless to say, it also justifies the requirements for reliable well integrity monitoring solutions in carbon dioxide sequestration wells.8-9
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is one of the key technologies to achieve the net-zero emission. One of the CCUS method is CO2 injection to depleted oil and gas wells or aquifers and storage (CCS). The CO2 emitted from fossil fuel-based powers and industrial plants are captured and transported to the injection point by ships or pipe line. Following that, the dense phase or supercritical phase CO2 will be injected to depleted oil and gas wells or aquifers through oil country tubular goods, for examples, seamless pipe.
Corrosion inhibitors (CI) are typically evaluated using either short-term electrochemical methods or long-term weight loss methods in laboratory set up. Although electrochemical methods provide fast and real-time corrosion information, corrosion subject matter experts, in general, rely on long term weight loss methods to determine localized corrosion information. These long-term methods include exposure of the metal coupon in a corrosive media under specific field conditions/parameters such as temperature, pressure, wall shear stress, corrosive gas species and test length in the presence of corrosion inhibitor active(s).
The work here is the culmination of many years of prior effort in the development of an atmospheric corrosion model and accompanying sensors. Atmospheric corrosion is a complicated process where many factors interact to determine if it occurs and its severity. These factors can be separated intothree general categories: environmental, surface salts, and materials.
Material selection for downhole applications has become more difficult as the number of alloys continues to increase. On one hand, stainless steels like 316 offer a relatively low initial cost, but are not suited for many severe applications or environments. Other alloys, like MP35N, offer considerable strength and corrosion resistance, but with a much higher cost. Thus, an attempt has been made to create an alloy that spans the considerable gap between the 300 series of stainless steels and the nickel or cobalt base alloys. The resulting 6% Mo stainless steels offered increased strength and corrosion resistance without a drastic cost increase. The first generation of superaustenitics still falls considerably short of the strength and corrosion resistance provided by established nickel or cobalt-base alloys. In an attempt to further bridge the remaining gap, a new superaustenitic stainless steel has been developed that maintains the attractive cost of the 6% Mo alloys, but enhances both corrosion resistance and strength to open up environments that were too severe for 6% Mo alloys. The development of this alloy along with localized corrosion resistance, qualification testing, and mechanical testing are discussed.
