Can Micelles Be Used To Expedite And Enhance Laboratory Qualification Testing?

Product Number: 51322-17824-SG

Author: Scott Rankin, Andy Osnowski, Emma Perfect

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The prevention of internal corrosion remains a significant challenge during the production of oil and gas. The use of film forming corrosion inhibitors is an important and cost-effective means of protecting assets from corrosion. These chemicals operate by forming a protective layer between the corrosive species present in the produced fluids and the pipe surface.

Carbonate And Sulfide Scale Formation In Multiphase Conditions

Product Number: 51322-17894-SG

Author: Olujide Sanni, Thibaut Charpentier, Anne Neville

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Inorganic fouling in oilfields has resulted in millions of dollars of operating expenditure every year since the inception of offshore oil and gas drilling, where mineral scale deposition in tubing, flowlines and downhole equipment leads to significant production downtime. Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) fouling is endemic in oilfield systems, as produced water containing both bicarbonate and calcium ions is prone to form precipitates as a result of pressure changes during production.The release of carbon dioxide gas from the aqueous phase prompts the evolution of carbonate resulting in a rise in pH and consequent precipitation.

Case Analysis Of Electromagnetic Interference Of AC Substation On Pipeline

Product Number: 51322-17517-SG

Author: Su Jin

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

A substation is a place where the power system converts voltage and current and receives and distributes electric energy. When a phase line is abnormally connected to another phase line or ground, a large amount of current will flow into the ground through the grounding bed of the substation. In such case, if metal structures exist such as buried pipelines near the substation, the pipelines often withstand serious electrical interference 1, which causes stray current corrosion of the pipelines 2 and other safety problems.

Case Studies On Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Monitoring Using Electrical Resistance Probes For Oil And Gas Assets.

Product Number: 51322-17855-SG

Author: Daniel Mugongo, Juan Dominguez Olivo

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are assets that contain valuable goods for the oil and gas industry. Consequently, monitoring and preventing loss of containment and extending the service life of those assets is a priority for the abovementioned industries. To monitor the degradation process of the tanks, ER probes are typically used to determine the corrosion rates. Corrosion rates can be used to forecast the service life of an asset by estimating the time at which the degradation reaches a critical thickness of the tank. If the corrosion rate is such that the critical thickness is expected to reach below the expected service life of the asset, the lifespan can be extended by corrosion mitigation methods.

Case Study - Sharing An AC Mitigation System

Product Number: 51322-17786-SG

Author: Hycem Bahgat

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

AC interference analysis between high voltage AC (HVAC) powerlines and buried pipelines is a matter of current interest due to the growing number of right-of-ways shared between powerline and pipeline infrastructure. This is only expected to increase as the worldwide energy demand grows considerably over the next 30 years,¹ and stricter environmental regulations and policies are applied. Therefore, AC interference will continue to be an issue of concern for powerline and pipeline operators to protect the public, environment, and maintain asset integrity.

Case Study Based On Coating Failure Analysis Of Cargo Container

Product Number: 51322-18110-SG

Author: Syed Umair Niaz Bukhari

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Coatings are a composite blend of raw ingredients that are mixed, applied to a prepared substrate, and dried and cured correctly to perform to their maximum capability. Failures and defects can appear themselves at numerous times in the life of a coating. Prior to application, they can take the shape of settlement and skinning, during application as runs and sags, shortly after application as solvent popping and orange peel, and during service as blistering and rust spotting. Therefore, it is not unexpected that those coatings can suffer from premature failure and/or exhibit defects that may or may not result in failure. Coatings nowadays are the most efficient method to shield metals and thus has been widely engaged among various protective techniques ^{1, 2}.

Case Study Based On Failure And Application Of Surface Coating (Powder Coating)

Product Number: 51322-18109-SG

Author: Syed Umair Niaz Bukhari, Ahmad Raza Khan Rana,

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Plant assets for hydrocarbon and power generation systems are prone to numerous damage mechanisms that arise from operating and/or upset conditions, environmental factors, material defects as well as other neighborhood factors ^1-2. Corrosion is one of the key degradations that pose a substantial economic burden, and may result in severe safety and environmental hazards ³. While considering the percentage for global economy in terms of corrosion, the total cost of corrosion globally amounts to ∼2.5 trillion US dollars per year. Among the corrosion mitigation measures, organic protective coatings are the most widely used, and their costs add up to two-thirds of all anti-corrosion overheads ⁴.

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.

Case Study: HDD CP Retrofit For Existing Critical Service Ethylene Above Ground Storage Tank.

Product Number: 51322-18035-SG

Author: Shailesh Javia, Venkat Sreenivas

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Corrosion has long been recognized as an extremely costly naturally occurring phenomenon that can be controlled through the proper application of corrosion prevention and control methods protecting public safety, extending the service life of assets and preventing damage to property and the environment. The landmark Cost of Corrosion Study published by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration estimated that corrosion costs were approximately 3.1% of the nation’s GDP. Within the study, several key sectors of the US economy were studied. This paper is focused on one of those areas – the corrosion risks associated with storage tanks that contain hazardous materials. The study determined that the annual direct cost of corrosion for above ground hazardous material storage tanks (ASTs) in the US was ~$4.5 billion.

In the recent years, the reduction of the environmental footprint of industrial processes is gaining momentum, targeting the carbon neutrality. This also involves Aluminum industry, in which the use of secondary (e.g. recycled) alloys is a possible solution in order to decrease the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Indeed, raw materials produced starting from secondary Aluminum show GHG emission values up to one order of magnitude lower with respect to their primary equivalents.

Cathodic Protection Monitoring In Water And Wastewater Systems

Product Number: 51322-17655-SG

Author: Jamey Hilleary

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

In 2002 NACE International published a cost of corrosion study backed by the U. S. Federal Highway and Safety Administration estimating the annual cost of corrosion in the U. S. to be $276 billion. In the more detailed breakdown of these costs by industry/market segment the cost associated with the water and wastewater utilities segment in the “Utilities” category was estimated at $36 billion. The water and wastewater utilities segment represented the single largest cost segment in the study. The $36 billion estimate for this single segment of the Utilities category represented more cost than any of the other four categories: Transportation, Infrastructure, Government, and Manufacturing & Production.
