Monitoring for Corrosion in Refineries
In a Hydrocarbon Engineering article, A Fine Balance, Emerson’s Jake Davies describes ways to address the corrosion and erosion that can wear away piping, tanks, vessels and valves in the refining process.
Protecting Final Control Elements in Corrosive Applications
At the Emerson Exchange Americas virtual series, Emerson’s David Macedonia and Ali Babakr describes methods of protecting final control elements in corrosive applications.
Balancing the CAPEX and OPEX Sides of Corrosion Monitoring and Control
In a Hydrocarbon Engineering article, Emerson’s Jake Davies looks at corrosion monitoring from a cost/benefit standpoint. Imagine this situation, which probably won’t require too much effort to visualize. You have an eight-year-old car, and looking at your personal...
Roundtable Discussion on Midstream Industry Corrosion Challenges
Lamar University’s Center for Midstream Management & Science, led by Thomas Kalb, will be hosting a November 10, 10-11am CST virtual roundtable discussion, Corrosion Issues in the Midstream Industry.
The roundtable features Emerson’s Dr. Christiane Lederer and other distinguished panelists from CorrPro-Aegion and Energy Transfer.
Real-Time Corrosion Monitoring for Hydrogen Fluoride Processes
Alkylation units allow for the production of premium gasoline grades, adding significant economic value to the refinery operation. These units are extremely susceptible to aggressive corrosion. Corrosion can lead to an HF (Hydrogen Fluoride) release, which can cause significant production loss and place the health and safety personnel and local community at risk.
Monitoring Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) Corrosion in Oil & Gas Upstream Industry
Overview The dangers of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) aka Sour Gas in oil and gas production are well known. A highly toxic, corrosive, flammable and explosive gas. H2S is colourless and although characterised by it "rotten egg" smell, at high concentrations can also be...
Simplifying Corrosion Monitoring and Control
Monitoring for corrosion in piping and vessels is critical in industries such as oil & gas and chemical production. Corrosion control is important in order to avoid damage and loss of integrity in a plant or production site. The traditional approach of periodic...
Continuous Corrosion and Erosion Monitoring Solutions
Emerson's Justin Vasquez presented Seek Out Hidden Operational Optimization through Corrosion Monitoring at the 2019 Emerson Exchange conference. Justin opened noting that corrosion and erosion monitoring occur throughout the hydrocarbon value chain—upstream,...
Continuously Monitoring for Pipeline Corrosion
The need for pipelines to get oil & gas from producing regions to processing and distribution areas in the global supply chain continues to grow. Monitoring for corrosion is critical to prevent safety and environmental incidents. This 3 ½ minute YouTube video,...
Specification Requirements for Corrosion Monitoring Systems
Process manufacturing involves moving fluids through pipes and vessels. A major concern in many industries is the corrosion and erosion that may occur inside the pipe walls. Corrosion monitoring systems are designed to track this degradation process. In a Flow Control...
Avoid Corrosion-Induced Asset Integrity Loss
A U.S. Energy Information Administration's post, When was the last refinery built in the United States?, reveals that more than half the "newest refineries" in their list were built in the 1970s or 1980s, or 30 to 40+ years ago. And, with 137 operating U.S. oil...
