First, Some History 2000 years ago, the area now called India, originally Bharat, had artisans who knew how to make steel that did not rust. Science was lost when the Mongols invaded and burned the Library around 1306. Then, Some Science Around 2003, the famous professor from the Indian Institute…
Most companies go to great lengths to keep our workers safe from toxins & danger in general. After hearing a story like the one below, I can’t help but question how effective the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) we use is & just how dangerous the products we use are. …
When it comes to choosing an anti-corrosion method, budget is a crucial consideration. If your business is in oil and gas, petrochemical, industrial or infrastructure, you are likely under immense pressure to preserve a positive cash flow. Protecting your carbon steel assets from corrosion in the most cost-effective way possible. …
En las instalaciones de procesos industriales, la corrosión es la principal causa de avería de la planta y el equipo, incluidas las máquinas, los recipientes, las estructuras, los soportes y las tuberías. Si bien la corrosión atmosférica en forma de aire (oxígeno) y agua (humedad, humedad, vapor, etc.) es la causa principal, los factores ambientales que incluyen altas temperaturas y presiones, así como sustancias agresivas, sustancias químicas y gases también pueden acelerar la corrosión del acero al carbono y otros metales.

When an electric utility in the Southeastern United States sought to protect the above-ground natural gas pipeline against corrosion, the goal was to cost-effectively do so while minimizing downtime and environmental impact. Read the full article here.
The harshest environments in the world have forced coating manufacturers to push the envelope, while inspection methods are also advancing rapidly. The most critical area on offshore assets such as FPSO’s, drilling units, fixed platforms and semi-submersibles is the splash zone, where the elements needed for dast corrosion are in…
Traditional organic coatings also typically require days or even weeks of facility downtime depending on the project, due to complex surface preparation and application as well as curing times needed between coats. This can be tremendously expensive in terms of lost production as well as shut down and start up…
According to the International Gas Union (IGU) 2017 World LNG Report, global LNG trade set a record for the third consecutive year, 258 million tonnes (MT), with the greatest growth in China, India, and Pakistan, which have seasonal monsoons. Read the full article here.
When an electric utility in the Southeastern United States sought to protect an above ground natural gas pipeline against corrosion, the goal was to cost effectively do so while minimizing downtime and environmental impact. When the electric utility chose an anti-corrosive coating for about 3,500 feet of power plant pipeline…
With asset utilization critical and community and regulatory pressure always looming, it is essential that tank farm owners proactively prevent any loss of containment with reliable, cost effective corrosion protection. This is crucial since atmospheric corrosion is one of the main culprits of tank leaks, containment loss, and early replacement.…
