  • Corrosion Monitoring for Terminal Reliability

    For the oil & gas industry alone, the yearly cost of corrosion damage is estimated to be over $1.3 billion USD according to NACE International (formerly National Association of Corrosion Engineers) and now known as AMPP: The Association for Materials Protection and Performance . They note: That figure can be broken down into $589 million on surface pipeline and facility costs; $463 million annually in downhole tubing…
  • Why Continuous, Non-Intrusive Corrosion Monitoring is Fast Becoming a Refining Industry Best Practice

    Corrosion risk is great, and incidents can be severe – potentially endangering lives, therefore there is increased need for corrosion control in refineries. Even slight changes to the process can affect corrosivity greatly. Changing crude diets, flow rates, yields or inhibition levels can impact negatively on asset integrity. Monitoring periodically through techniques such as manual inspection do not provide the granularity…
