A calorie is amount of heat necessary to increase the temperature of one gram of water by 33.8°F (1°C). Necessary heat depends on two variables: atmospheric pressure and starting temperature. The value of one calorie is equal to 4.1860 joules. Both calories or joules are used in calculating… View Full Term

The efficiency of the acid gas removal unit plays a role in reducing corrosion rates in gas dehydration process systems. The main aim is to reduce the amount of water vapor in the gas stream to avoid accompanying issues, especially corrosion.
Maintaining pipeline integrity is crucial in the oil & gas industry. When pipeline defects are detected, or pipeline failures occur, understanding the cause of these events is of utmost importance. Here we look at microbiologically influenced corrosion.
