How to Prevent Opportunity Crude Corrosion
Many oil and gas companies are looking into crude diversity to maintain a competitive advantage, as the environmental regulations are tightening and oil prices are rising. These crudes are hard-to-process, poor-quality, and generally include heavy sour grades, oil sands, and other impurities. Process equipment is designed to refine crude oil products with a defined composition, […]

The Science of Thermal Spray Coating Failures: Understanding Permeability and Stress
Understanding Permeability and Corrosion The root cause of the coating failures lies in the permeability of conventional thermal spray coatings. The “low velocity” thermal spray systems previously employed were unable to produce flat and tightly-packed particle sizes or nano-scale grain structures. As a result, surface oxides formed during the application process, creating pathways for corrosive […]
