Proposal of a New Corrosion Index for Domestic Tap Water In Japan

Picture for Proposal of a New Corrosion Index for Domestic Tap Water In Japan
Available for download

Japanese tap water has a low calcium hardness compared with those of countries in Europe and the Americas. There are many steep mountains and volcanos in Japan. These geological factors lead to features such as short rivers with water rich in SiO2. This leads to a lack of calcium compounds in river water because the flow rate is high and the dissolution rate of CaCO3 into water is low.

This paper proposes a new corrosion index that can be effectively applied to tap water having low calcium hardness and high soluble silica (SiO2) concentration. Tap water at 70 different locations in Japan were sampled, and corrosivity for carbon steel dipping in flowing tap waters were evaluated. The average corrosion rate vavg was obtained by the weight loss method. The results showed that vavg was strongly dependent on the concentrations of SO42- and SiO2. The application of conventional corrosion indexes to Japanese tap water was examined with unsuccessful results. In view of these facts, a new corrosion index SS ratio = [SO42-] / [SiO2] was proposed. It was quantitatively demonstrated that vavg was directly proportional to the SS ratio. At the same time, the maximum localized corrosion rate vmax was determined by measuring the corrosion depth with a point micrometer. The results show that vmax could also be well evaluated by the SS ratio, and vmax was inversely proportional to the SS ratio.

Martensitic Stainless Steel (SMSS) is widely used for downhole production tubing and liners in the Oil & Gas industry. Optimization of the tubular material chemistry, cleanliness and manufacturing route has delivered useful performance in H2S-containing environments (specifically SSC and stress corrosion cracking [SCC])3 resistance4,5,6. Some tubular accessories and most completion equipment require sizes not readily delivered by tubular product form. In these instances, bar stock material is a pragmatic choice.

Although organic corrosion inhibitors have been widely applied in the energy industry, many details regarding their protection mechanism remain unknown. For example, a corrosion inhibitor adsorbs on the clean steel/aqueous solution interface, driven by electrostatic interaction. With the corrosion product
layer formed, how would the inhibitor adsorption interact with the corrosion product nucleation and precipitation? What is the effect of pre-corrosion in inhibitor testing?

This paper reviews the corrosion management for a critical sour gas pipeline operated by Saudi Aramco. The 38-inch diameter pipeline transports untreated sour gas from Crude Processing Facility (CPF) to downstream Gas Plant and spans a total distance of 145 km. To prevent internal corrosion inside the pipeline, the wet sour gas is dehydrated using Tri-Ethylene Glycol (TEG) unit.
