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 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 […]

Protecting Pipelines from Corrosion Internal pipeline corrosion poses a significant challenge to the energy industry. It can be caused by the presence of water, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other corrosive substances. Without preventative measures, pipeline corrosion can lead to potential safety hazards, environmental damage, and costly repairs. Several advanced techniques and materials have been […]

Flue Gas Dew Point Corrosion: Mechanism and Implications Flue gas dew point corrosion is a complex electrochemical process that occurs when flue gases cool below their acid dew point temperature. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in industrial systems involving combustion processes, such as power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities. The corrosion mechanism involves: Condensation […]
