"This practical industry-oriented guide has been compiled to meet the needs of personnel employed by operators, design engineers, contractors and chemical suppliers working in the oil and gas industry. The document draws on the experience of specialists employed in various organisations and incorporates appropriate industry and in-company guidelines. Both technical and management issues are addressed and key points are provided at the end of each chapter to aid in the assimilation of the many and varied aspects that contribute to successful corrosion inhibition."--BOOK JACKET.

This book addresses the selection and qualification of corrosion resistant alloys for use in oil and gas field production facilities that handle raw and partly processed reservoir fluids at, and below, reservoir temperatures.

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Guidelines: Technical Guide for Managing CUI, Third Edition, Volume 55 builds upon the success of the first two editions to provide a fully up-to-date, practical source of information on how to monitor and manage insulated systems. In the first edition of this book published in 2008, the EFC Working Parties WP13 and WP15 engaged together to provide guidelines on managing CUI with contributions from a number of European refining, petrochemical, and offshore companies. The guidelines were intended for use on all plants and installations that contain insulated vessels, piping, and equipment, and cover a risk-based inspection methodology for CUI, inspection techniques, and recommended best practices for mitigating CUI. The guidelines include design of plant and equipment, coatings and the use of thermal spray techniques, types of insulation, cladding/jacketing materials, and protection guards. Corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) refers to the external corrosion of piping and vessels that occurs underneath externally clad/jacketed insulation as a result of the penetration of water. By its very nature CUI tends to remain undetected until the insulation and cladding/jacketing is removed to allow inspection, or when leaks occur. CUI is a common problem shared by the refining, petrochemical, power, industrial, onshore and offshore industries. - Provides revised and updated technical guidance on managing CUI provided by EFC Working Parties 13 and 15 - Discusses the standard approach to risk based inspection methodology - Presents the argument that CUI is everywhere, and looks at mitigating actions that can be started from the onset - Includes a wide array of concepts of corrosion mitigation
