Corrosion in Refineries
Corrosion in ageing refinery plant presents a serious safety hazard. This important book summarises key research into corrosion processes in refinery equipment, how it can be measured and controlled. The book reviews factors affecting corrosion such as carburisation and metal dusting as well as corrosion in steel and other materials used in refinery technology. It considers corrosion in a range of refinery equipment such as storage tanks, HF alkylation units, sour water strippers and insulated units. Other chapters discuss ways of testing for corrosion and cracking in refineries together with integrity and life cycle assessment techniques. There is also coverage of ways of trouble-shooting corrosion problems and preventative measures such as coating systems.With its distinguished editor and team of contributors, Corrosion in refineries is a valuable reference for all those concerned with building and maintaining refineries in the petrochemical industry. - Summarises key research into corrosion processes in refinery equipment - Discusses ways of testing for corrosion and cracking in refineries
Geomechanics Applied to the Petroleum Industry
Designing an efficient drilling program is a key step for the development of an oil and/or gas field. Variations in reservoir pressure, saturation and temperature, induced by reservoir production or CO2 injection, involve various coupled physical and chemical processes. Geomechanics, which consider all thermohydromechanical phenomena involved in rock behavior, play an important role in every operation involved in the exploitation of hydrocarbons, from drilling to production, and in CO2 geological storage operations as well. Pressure changes in the reservoir modify the in situ stresses and induce strains, not only within the reservoir itself, but also in the entire sedimentary column. In turn...
The Progress in Corrosion - The First 50 Years of the EFC
This book focuses on developments during the first fifty years of existence of the European Federation of Corrosion, and describes the contributions made by its working parties.
Molten Salts 15
This symposium was dedicated to the significant and ground breaking accomplishments of Robert A. Osteryoung in the area of molten salts and ionic liquids. This symposium provided an international and interdisciplinary forum centered on innovative basic and applied research performed in molten salts and ionic liquids. Contributed papers were solicited in all areas of biology, chemistry, electrochemistry, electrochemical engineering, and physics related to molten salt research.
Computational Modelling and Simulations for Designing of Corrosion Inhibitors
Computational Modeling and Simulations for Designing of Corrosion Inhibitors: Fundamentals and Realistic Applications offers a collection of major advancements in the field of computational modeling for the design and testing of corrosion inhibition effectiveness of organic corrosion inhibitors. This guide presents the latest developments in molecular modeling of organic compounds using computational software, which has emerged as a powerful approach for theoretical determination of corrosion inhibition potentials of organic compounds. The book covers common techniques involved in theoretical studies of corrosion inhibition potentials, and mechanisms such as density functional theory, molecu...
Heavy Crude Oils
Heavy oils, extra-heavy oils and tar sands are major players for the future of energy.They represent a massive world resource, at least the size of conventional oils. They are found all over the world but Canada and Venezuela together account, by themselves, for more than half of world deposits. They share the same origin as the lighter conventional oils, but their geological fate drove them into thick, viscous tar-like crude oils. Most of them result from alteration processes mediated by microbial degradation. They are characterized by a low content of lighter cuts and a high content of impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen compounds and metals ; so, their production is difficult and deplo...
Supercritical Water
Discover the many new and emerging applications of supercritical water as a green solvent Drawing from thousands of original research articles, this book reviews and summarizes what is currently known about the properties and uses of supercritical water. In particular, it focuses on new and emerging applications of supercritical water as a green solvent, including the catalytic conversion of biomass into fuels and the oxidation of hazardous materials. Supercritical Water begins with an introduction that defines supercritical fluids in general. It then defines supercritical water in particular, using the saturation curve to illustrate its relationship to regular water. Following this introduc...
Novel Approaches to Improving High Temperature Corrosion Resistance
High-temperature corrosion is a major problem affecting sectors such as the power generation, aerospace and metal-working industries. This important book summarises a wide range of research on ways of dealing with this important problem. The first part of the book reviews ways of modifying alloys to improve high-temperature corrosion resistance. The second part discusses surface treatments such as pre-treatments and coatings. The third part of the book summarises research on testing for high-temperature corrosion resistance and the development of common testing standards. It also reviews research on the behaviour of alloys in a wide range of service conditions such as furnace and boiler envi...
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Guidelines
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-Phi...
