Acid-Induced Corrosion of Hospital Facilities from Construction Processes

Product Number: 51323-19062-SG

Author: Kimberly Steiner

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

A new building was under construction for a hospital campus for specialized treatment. For logistical reasons, a multi-million dollar piece of medical equipment was placed in one room prior to completion of construction. A pedestal is installed on the floor and houses copper gas tubing and electrical connections for the equipment.

Break Reduction/Life Extension for Municipal Water Pipelines

Product Number: 51324-20658-SG

Publication Date: 2024

A 2018 study by Utah State University indicated that the condition of North America’s water infrastructure is in a state of steady decline. That research determined that the water main break rate increased 27% for the 6-year period between 2012-2018, with over 80% of the cast iron pipelines currently in service being over 50 years old. Referenced statistics indicate there has been an average of 14 leaks per 100 miles of operating pipeline, and that each mile of pipeline serves approximately 300 consumers. Further increases in the water main leak rate represent a major disruption in reliable water supply to a large population. Excluding third-party damage, metal loss because of corrosion is the most common cause of premature failure and leakage of buried pipelines. Corrosion is a predictable process, whereas third-party damage is random in nature. Methodologies have been developed over the past few decades to identify anomalies and areas susceptible to active corrosion on underground pipelines. Using the data from these analytics, it is possible to implement local corrosion control to rapidly decrease the water main break rate. A methodology has been developed and applied to drive this process in a systematic approach. Break Reduction/Life Extension (BRLE) is a proactive engineering program developed to: · Reduce the number of future breaks on water system piping · Extend the operational life of existing water system piping Using a combination of factors, such as pipeline age, materials type and break history, with the data gathered in the field, it is possible to identify activities to initiate measures to reduce the water main break rate. This paper will present details on the BRLE methodology and provide data from case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

Case Study: Foreign Operator DC Interference On An Existing Pipeline Systems

Product Number: 51322-17587-SG

Author: Jessica Jaskolka

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

EN Engineering (ENE) completed an AC interference study over 68 miles of an operator’s transmission line. In addition, an ACVG survey of approximately one (1) mile of the pipeline was conducted at the take-off point of the 8” line. As a result of this AC interference study, evidence of elevated AC corrosion risk has not been found on the operator’s pipeline. However, a review of the provided data shows evidence of DC interference due to a nearby foreign rectifier groundbed at the take-off point of the operator’s line.

Corrosion Risk Assessment, Load Considerations and Corrosion Engineering Solutions for Aging Structures That Exhibit Accelerated Corrosion in Corrosive Environments

Product Number: 51323-19543-SG

Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh, Clinton Char, George T. Bayer, Peyman Taheri, Anil Kumar Chikkam

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Structural engineering analysis is an important part of condition assessment of aging concrete structures. Structural engineers involved in condition assessment, maintaining, and repairing concrete structures need to be informed of the principles and practice of corrosion risks facing aging concrete structures. The approach towards this issue, from a corrosion engineer’s standpoint, is to do an inspection/condition assessment before making any form of judgements or recommendations.

Corrosion-Induced Hydrogen Entry to Steel and a Risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement

Product Number: 51323-19560-SG

Author: Darya Rudomilova, Gerald H. Luckeneder, Tomáš Prošek, Josef Faderl, Andreas Muhr

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Hydrogen embrittlement is a process that results in a decrease of the ductility of metals as a result of absorbed hydrogen. Advanced high-strength steels used in the automotive industry are materials that are considered prone to hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen can enter the material during steelmaking or processing steps, such as pickling, cleaning, phosphating, and electroplating.

Impact Of Maintenance Activities On Future Integrity Of Transmission Pipelines

Product Number: 51322-17504-SG

Author: Haralampos Tsaprailis, Jiajun Liang, Mike Hill

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Transmission pipeline companies utilize successive ILI tool runs to identify, size, and determine the corrosion growth rate (CGR) of pipeline features that may be detrimental to the operation of the pipeline [1, 2]. The importance of back-to-back ILI tool runs in monitoring and maintaining the safe operation of a pipeline is further supported by the methodologies’ incorporation by US regulators for high consequence areas. The calculated CGR from the ILI tool runs is used to determine maintenance digs required to mitigate the identified features prior to the next scheduled re-inspection interval.

Online Asset and Integrity Monitoring to Enhance Safety, Reliability and Profitability

Product Number: MECC23-20244-SG

Author: Ammar Almousa; William Fazackerley

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Over the past decades cost pressure in oil refining has increased, especially in Europe where the consumption of oil products is decreasing over time. Refineries are investigating ways to increase margin and, given that they account for around 80% of total refinery expenditure, reduction of crude oil cost is a key factor. One way of doing this is to purchase cheaper and generally less desirable crude from global markets.
