In water treatment operations, which include the plant itself as well as the infrastructure required to collect and distribute water from sources such as aqueducts, reservoirs, lakes and rivers, the wet, high humidity environment can wreak havoc on steel structures and appurtenances such as pumps, piping, pipe supports and other…
There are many different types of corrosion, ranging from those that are easily identifiable with the naked eye, to those that take some additional examination to accurately identify. This naturally occurring condition can cause costly and dangerous damage to systems from personal vehicles to pipelines and architectural infrastructures such as…
From gas distribution, drinking water, and sewer piping to electric trans- mission, distribution, and substation structures, to telecom towers, much of the utility industry’s carbon steel facility infrastructure is aging and now between 40 and 100 years old. Read the full article here.
Cathodic Protection is a major weapon against corrosion but has some costly disadvantages when trying to protect larger steel assets For corrosion to occur, four elements must be present: a host site from which current flows, a destination site where no current flows, a medium capable of conducting current (such…

Ceramic Coatings With oil and gas prices down by half from their recent highs, operations managers and engineers are finding that one of the best ways to cut costs and survive the downturn is to eliminate the ongoing costs associated with integrity management on in-service structures made of carbon steel. Read…
The oil and gas industry plays a major role in generating the energy we use every day, representing an important part of today’s global economy. To keep up with increasing energy consumption, the industry has led deepwater and other explorations. The pace of exploration is expected to rise to meet…
For such corrosion protection, Wuhan Hengshi Engineering LLC spray applied EonCoat to thirty-eight containers that were put into service for EDC of CNOOC, covering 19,773 square feet total. Over three years later the containers indicate excellent corrosion protection, except for a few areas of coating fall-out due to container collision.…
Stopping corrosion on in-service structures Operations managers and corrosion engineers are finding that one of the best ways to cut costs and maintain income levels is to eliminate the ongoing costs associated with corrosion control on in-service structures made of carbon steel.

Carbon steel is widely used across industries such as energy, industrial, infrastructure, heavy equipment, and marine. Unfortunately, carbon steel is highly susceptible to corrosion, which can put major holds on workflow and production, costing organizations significant amounts of time and money. The first step to battling corrosion is understanding it.…
