Industrial facilities can benefit from scheduling corrosion protection of their carbon steel structures and equipment during seasonal slowdowns, when such projects have a minimal impact on output. Read the full article here.
In a collaborative effort designed to improve vital protection of offshore assets, the Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) in Aberdeen, UK is successfully conducting trials of an advanced anti-corrosion coating on two North Sea offshore platforms. Read the full article here.
Oil and gas major Chevron (San Ramon, California, USA) recently revised its engineering standards to include a novel water-borne spray coating system to protect against both atmospheric corrosion and corrosion under insulation (CUI) at many of its worldwide facilities. Read the full article here.
In mines, quarries, and aggregate bulk processing, large steel structures like hoppers that are used to store and dispense vast volumes of ore, rock and gravel are often subjected to abrasion, moisture and salt deposits, which can accelerate corrosion. Read the full article here.
Después de la reciente desaceleración de la industria siderúrgica mundial, causada por la sobreoferta, la caída de los precios y el aumento de los costos de la materia prima, Posco, una de las multinacionales siderúrgicas más grandes del mundo, con sede principal en Corea del Sur, necesitaba una estrategia para…
The use of high performance coatings to protect offshore structures is the common method to prevent excessive corrosion. Three coat paint systems (to ISO 12944, or NORSOK M501 standards) can give a proven 15 years’ service life without major maintenance, however to reduce operating costs, platform operators are looking at…
It’s not an overstatement to call rust the scourge of the industrial sector. The government estimates the direct cost of Corrosion to the U.S. economy is 3.1% of GDP. That’s $697 billion each year and disrupts everything from production to logistics. If you figure in the indirect costs which are even larger…
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is the root cause of many of the global petrochemical industry’s most serious problems, including forced shutdowns, lost production, early repair and replacement. It also can lead to safety and environmental consequences that can cost millions of dollars per incident. Read the full article here.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) presents an ongoing, significant, and costly challenge to the processing industries. Any manufacturing equipment (tanks, pipes, etc.) constructed of metal and constantly exposed to heat, humidity, and various chemicals is susceptible to corrosion. Corrosion that occurs on equipment that is covered in insulation is more problematic…
