Liquid materials can present a threat to the soil, groundwater and surface water if accidentally spilled or leaked from the tanks where such materials are contained. These substances must be stored in such a way that if a...
The proper installation of composite repairs to corroded piping or equipment requires special training and application methods.
An affordable, new standards-compliant composite repair system consists of a thermoset epoxy resin reinforced by a hybrid carbon/glass fiber wrap for application onto damaged pipelines, piping systems and vessels in pressurized services.
A process vessel lining solution can only be an effective and integral part of the corrosion prevention system if installed correctly.
Most process vessels in the oil and gas industry are constructed from carbon steel, which corrodes under the harsh chemical and high-heat environments. This article discusses the test methods necessary to determine proper lining systems.
Managing anticipated internal erosion and corrosion in the arduous service environments of process vessels is a challenging task.
Choosing an appropriate vessel lining system is a process that involves meeting a number of industry requirements.
