Amine stress corrosion cracking (ASCC) is a persistent and costly challenge for operators. This form of corrosion can compromise critical equipment in facilities, potentially leading to unplanned shutdowns, environmental incidents, and significant financial losses. Understanding the mechanisms behind ASCC is the first step for facility operators and reliability engineers toward implementing effective prevention strategies. The […]

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a significant issue in various industries, including petrochemical, power, waste, and oil/gas environments. MIC is responsible for about 20% of all corrosion costs globally, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. This type of corrosion is caused by microbial activity, leading to the formation of corrosive metabolic by-products such as […]

CO₂ corrosion, commonly known as ‘sweet corrosion’ in the oil and gas industry, presents a significant challenge to facility integrity and operational reliability. This form of corrosion can lead to substantial economic losses through equipment failure, production downtime, and increased maintenance costs. Understanding the Corrosion Mechanism and its Impact on Oil & Gas Production The […]

The Challenge of Metal Recycling Corrosion Metal recycling plays a vital role in resource conservation and sustainable manufacturing. However, the harsh conditions within pyrometallurgical furnaces, autoclaves, dryers, and gas scrubbers can lead to significant corrosion challenges. This corrosion not only impacts equipment longevity but can also hinder production efficiency and product quality. Impact of corrosion […]

The Importance of Coating Durability High emissivity coatings are designed to improve radiant and conductive heat transfer in fired heaters, resulting in better process efficiency, and reducing fuel consumption. In the harsh operating environments of fired heater furnaces, where temperatures routinely exceed 1000°C (1800°F), the durability and longevity of high emissivity coatings are vital. Ensuring […]
