Metal or thermal spraying is a technology which protects and greatly extends the life of a wide variety of equipment in the most hostile environments. Thermal spray coating for corrosion resistance typically includes Ni-based alloys such as Alloy C-276. Thermal spraying involves the projection of small molten particles onto a prepared surface where they adhere and form a continuous coating. Thermal Spray Coating has been introduced in the oil and gas industry recently as a repair technology for in-service pressure vessels it has been successfully applied by several Oil and Gas companies. The technology has a relatively high capital cost but is cost effective when other traditional technologies fail and when comparing lifetime costs. For example in an in-service amine stripper PWHT following weld repair may not be viable as PWHT will affect vessel stability and impact also the T&I schedule.This paper presents an experience in utilizing Thermal Spray Coating Technology on top of weld build-up of CS Pressure Vessel eroded shell. The vessel is under lethal service and had severe erosion on some of its internal surface of the shell. According to ASME PCC-2 (Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping) Article 2.11 PWHT is required after retention of nominal wall thickness through weld build-up. However heat treatment of this vessel was infeasible due to stability analysis results that show instability of the column during heat treatment. Moreover laying down the column to perform PWHT is highly costly and would significantly impact shutdown schedule of the unit.

Self-healing coatings for corrosion protection refer to those with the ability to sense the corrosive environment and to release preloaded inhibitors from the coating matrix by a controlled mode. In this work, SiO2 nanoparticle based polyelectrolyte nanocontainers were fabricated by the LbL method to store corrosion inhibitor BTA.

This paper aims to present a novel class of pipeline protective lining materials that provide erosion-corrosion resistance combined with negligible wear to spray equipment. These coatings have been formulated with a blend of thermoplastic fillers rather than the traditional ceramic fillers used for erosion resistance.

Multi-layer polypropylene (MLPP) insulation coating is used for thermal insulation of subsea pipelines.  However in recent years - with higher wellhead operating temperatures - high temperature (HT) Fusion Bonded Epoxies have been used. This paper describes the author's experience with the MLPP systems over the last 20 years.
