Is Carbon Capture New? While Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCS / CCUS) seemingly came onto the energy scene recently, the history of this technology goes as far back as 50 years. That was the last time the United States faced a significant energy crisis. The sense of urgency for…
Prevention, Mitigation, and Detection of Pipeline Corrosion Without stating it directly, we all expect and need pipelines to continue to do their job invisibly – without interruption or injury to the environment and people. Prevention, mitigation, and detection of all types of corrosion must all be utilized to form a…
What is a pipeline? Pipelines are precisely what their name implies. Mission-critical, carbon steel pipelines can be above ground or buried several feet underground. The pipe may sweat, leading to a more rapid rate of pipe corrosion, or the pipe may require insulation. Pipeline systems fall into one of three…
AMPP has endorsed newly proposed legislation entitled “Bridge Corrosion Prevention and Repair Act.” AMPP has endorsed this cohesive proposed legislation because it aims to prevent corrosion and give our bridges an extended service life. Sam Scaturro, chair of the AMPP Board of Directors, states, “H.R. 8033 is a decisive step…
In July of 2014, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), a United States Department of Transportation division, issued a final report entitled Rail Base Corrosion and Cracking Prevention Study. The FRA funded the study, and the Edison Welding Institute (EWI) conducted the study. EonCoat did not charge for any product or application service as…
The soil-facing side of a tank bottom is highly susceptible to corrosion while also being the hardest to protect from corrosion. So, let’s take a closer look at why both parts of that prior sentence are true, the current options, and what the future holds for this distinct industry. Let’s…
Can We Predict a Recession? The economy – especially recessions – is like the weather. We know we’ll have some, but it’s difficult to predict precisely. I’ll draw the relationship to what we in the Southeastern United States know all too well – hurricanes. In the graphic below are the…
What Is CUI? Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is localized, external corrosion that occurs on carbon steel (and stainless steel) that has been insulated. It is – literally – the corrosion that occurs between the carbon steel and the insulation material. The typical purpose of the insulation is to keep a…
We all know that petrochemicals are made from petroleum and natural gas. Let’s dig a little deeper into the oil and gas industry to see how EonCoat can help eliminate corrosion in these globally critical processes and facilities. Petrochemicals contribute to everything from tires, rubber, resins, protective coatings, paints, and…
June is National Safety Month In 1996, the National Safety Council established June as National Safety Month. They have as their goal to “eliminate workplace fatalities with emerging technologies .” That’s a great goal, but why are we still talking about it 25 years later? We have immense respect for the education, outreach, and…
