This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a serious problem in many industries both on and offshore. When operations are conducted in marine environments the opportunity for CUI is increased due to the harsh environment created by salt water. CUI can damage equipment and piping systems leading to loss of product containment which puts personnel and production in jeopardy. This research determines the current understanding of CUI, methods available for determining corrosion rates and develops a simplified electrochemical noise method to determine and predict CUI through laboratory and field operations. From the high level CUI literature review two areas for further investigation were determined. Pitting corrosion was identified as a significant area of study and as it is as a key mechanism of pipe failure in offshore operations. Electrochemical noise was found to be a promising technique for monitoring CUI due to its ability to identify corrosion mechanism as well as corrosion rate. Two objectives for research were identified: 1. To generate corrosion under insulation data 2. To develop a continuous monitoring technique for assets under insulation To satisfy the objective of CUI data generation a comprehensive experimental plan was developed. This plan develops a field test procedure to study corrosion under insulation (CUI) in marine environments that ensures that data collected is representative of CUI developed in the offshore industry. The experimental design was completed and the facilities and equipment installed with monitoring and analysis of the ongoing experiment will be completed over the next three years. This research developed, verified and applied a simplified EPN method to monitor corrosion. This method can be used to recognise different corrosion mechanisms (localized/uniform) and to estimate corrosion rates. A relationship between isolated electrode EPN, mass loss and corrosion rate was established. The simplified method aided in determining that there is increased corrosion activity under insulation due to retained moisture at the pipe surface. The completion of this research expanded the understanding of how and when CUI occurs, developed new and developed a new simplified electrochemical noise method for online monitoring of CUI. These successes will ultimately improve offshore operations; both improving safety and production.

Download or read book Corrosion Under Insulation CUI Guidelines written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion under insulation (CUI) refers to the external corrosion of piping and vessels that occurs underneath externally clad/jacketed insulation as a result of the penetration of water. By its very nature CUI tends to remain undetected until the insulation and cladding/jacketing is removed to allow inspection or when leaks occur. CUI is a common problem shared by the refining, petrochemical, power, industrial, onshore and offshore industries. The European Federation of Corrosion (EFC) Working Parties WP13 and WP15 have worked to provide guidelines on managing CUI together with a number of major European refining, petrochemical and offshore companies including BP, Chevron-Texaco, Conoco-Phillips, ENI, Exxon-Mobil, IFP, MOL, Scanraff, Statoil, Shell, Total and Borealis. The guidelines within this document are intended for use on all plants and installations that contain insulated vessels, piping and equipment. The guidelines cover a risk-based inspection methodology for CUI, inspection techniques (including non-destructive evaluation methods) and recommended best practice for mitigating CUI, including design of plant and equipment, coatings and the use of thermal spray techniques, types of insulation, cladding/jacketing materials and protection guards. The guidelines also include case studies. Guidelines cover inspection methodology for CUI, inspection techniques, including non-destructive evaluation methods and recommended best practice Case studies are included illustrating key points in the book

Download or read book Active Protective Coatings written by Anthony E. Hughes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a broad range of materials science that has been brought to bear on providing solutions to the challenges of developing self-healing and protective coatings for a range of metals. The book has a strong emphasis on characterisation techniques, particularly new techniques that are beginning to be used in the coatings area. It features many contributions written by experts from various industrial sectors which examine the needs of the sectors and the state of the art. The development of self-healing and protective coatings has been an expanding field in recent years and applies a lot of new knowledge gained from other fields as well as other areas of materials science to the development of coatings. It has borrowed from fields such as the food and pharmaceutical industries who have used, polymer techniques, sol-gel science and colloidosome technology for a range encapsulation techniques. It has also borrowed from fields like hydrogen storage such as from the development of hierarchical and other materials based on organic templating as “nanocontainers” for the delivery of inhibitors. In materials science, recent developments in high throughput and other characterisation techniques, such as those available from synchrotrons, are being increasing used for novel characterisation – one only needs to look at the application of these techniques in self healing polymers to gauge wealth of new information that has been gained from these techniques. This work is largely driven by the need to replace environmental pollutants and hazardous chemicals that represent risk to humans such as chromate inhibitors which are still used in some applications.
