Download or read book Amine Unit Corrosion in Refineries written by J Harston and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-04-18 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The corrosion of carbon steels in amine units used for gas treatment in refining operations is a major problem for the petrochemical industry. Maximising amine unit reliability, together with improving throughput, circulation and treatment capacity, requires more effective ways of measuring and predicting corrosion rates. However, there has been a lack of data on corrosion. This valuable report helps to remedy this lack of information by summarising findings from over 30 plants. It covers such amine types as methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), diethanolamine (DEA), monoethanolamine (MEA) and di-isopropanolamine (DIPA), and makes recommendations on materials and process parameters to maximise amine unit efficiency and reliability.

Download or read book Corrosion Under Insulation CUI Guidelines written by Gino De Landtsheer and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Guidelines: Technical Guide for Managing CUI, Third Edition, Volume 55 builds upon the success of the first two editions to provide a fully up-to-date, practical source of information on how to monitor and manage insulated systems. In the first edition of this book published in 2008, the EFC Working Parties WP13 and WP15 engaged together to provide guidelines on managing CUI with contributions from a number of European refining, petrochemical, and offshore companies. The guidelines were intended for use on all plants and installations that contain insulated vessels, piping, and equipment, and cover a risk-based inspection methodology for CUI, inspection techniques, and recommended best practices for mitigating CUI. The guidelines include design of plant and equipment, coatings and the use of thermal spray techniques, types of insulation, cladding/jacketing materials, and protection guards. 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. Provides revised and updated technical guidance on managing CUI provided by EFC Working Parties 13 and 15 Discusses the standard approach to risk based inspection methodology Presents the argument that CUI is everywhere, and looks at mitigating actions that can be started from the onset Includes a wide array of concepts of corrosion mitigation

Download or read book Corrosion Problems and Solutions in Oil Refining and Petrochemical Industry written by Alec Groysman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses corrosion problems and their solutions at facilities in the oil refining and petrochemical industry, including cooling water and boiler feed water units. Further, it describes and analyzes corrosion control actions, corrosion monitoring, and corrosion management. Corrosion problems are a perennial issue in the oil refining and petrochemical industry, as they lead to a deterioration of the functional properties of metallic equipment and harm the environment – both of which need to be protected for the sake of current and future generations. Accordingly, this book examines and analyzes typical and atypical corrosion failure cases and their prevention at refineries and petrochemical facilities, including problems with: pipelines, tanks, furnaces, distillation columns, absorbers, heat exchangers, and pumps. In addition, it describes naphthenic acid corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen damages, sulfidic corrosion, microbiologically induced corrosion, erosion-corrosion, and corrosion fatigue occurring at refinery units. At last, fouling, corrosion and cleaning are discussed in this book.

Download or read book Recommended Practice for Corrosion Management of Pipelines in Oil Gas Production and Transportation written by Bijan Kermani and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2017. Pipeline integrity is key to maintaining operational success, safety and security and minimising harm to the environment. Corrosion is a dominant contributory factor to failures, leaks and integrity threats in pipelines. Therefore, its optimum control within an integrity management framework is paramount for the cost-effective design of facilities and ensuring continued, uninterrupted and safe operations within the expected design life. This recommended practice (RP) is a compendium of current best practices and state-of-the-art knowledge by major operators, engineering contractors and service companies involved in hydrocarbon pro-duction and transportation. The RP incorporates some minimum operational requirements and practices to ensure that when man-aging corrosion in pipelines, fundamental principles are followed. It covers management of corrosion for pipelines carrying hydrocarbons, injection water and/or produced water from design to decommissioning. It is structured to follow the logical steps of a basic corrosion management process and makes references to relevant and available international standards and/or recommended practices. It is intended for use by personnel from the petroleum industry having knowledge of corrosion and materials. It is hoped that this RP will prove to be a key reference document for engineers, suppliers and con-tractors working in the oil and gas industry, paving the way for corrosion-free operation of pipelines with the ultimate goal of improving safety, security and minimising the impact on the environment

Book excerpt: Corrosion Management of Seawater Cooling Systems, Volume 71 provides an overview on main seawater heat exchanger systems, different forms of corrosion, biocide treatments, corrosion, scale inhibitors, materials used, coatings and cathodic protection, maintenance, and monitoring and control. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academics, technicians and engineers who are interested in the corrosion management of seawater cooling systems. The evolution of practices in terms of sustainability, materials choice, treatment selection and changes to regulations have demonstrated the need to establish this new guide on recommended best practices that support corrosion management and the development of seawater heat exchangers. Seawater is considered an attractive resource for utilities in many industries such as power plants, refineries and chemical plants. Seawater cooling systems are used in heat exchangers, in once-through cooling water systems, and for recirculating cooling water systems. The metallurgy and materials used in these facilities need to be compatible with seawater and allow good corrosion control. As seawater composition and suspended solids can cause corrosion, scaling, fouling, microbiological growth and macrofouling problems, this book is a necessary addition to the conversation. Covers key technological developments in corrosion management of seawater cooling systems Includes coverage of seawater heat exchangers“/li> Provides information on many different forms of corrosion Presents tactics for the selection of materials, corrosion protections (inhibitors, coatings, cathodic protection) Discusses maintenance, control, monitoring and inspection
