Webcasts

This webcast will provide insight into the current methodologies for making horizontal directional drilling (HDD) anticorrosion systems last.

Structural steel column bases are extremely difficult to protect with traditional painting methods. It is not uncommon for these paint systems to fail prematurely, sometimes even within the first year of service.

Wastewater asset owners are constantly faced with corrosion-related challenges within their systems. Now more than ever, it is imperative to understand where this corrosion occurs and to have an awareness of the different means to combat it.

Traditional epoxy coatings were designed decades ago for simple immersion-grade protection against corrosion. Nowadays, however, innovative coating manufacturers are offering applied polymer coating and lining products that are completely overhauled, , bringing them into a category of their own— a category of applied ultra-high-build polymer lining.

This webcast will provide information regarding Tucson Water's proactive asset management program for infrastructure, which includes a Pipeline Protection Program.

This webcast will introduce an exclusive new ENTEGRA technology based on cathodic protection current mapping (CPCM) and inline inspection.

This year is an important one for industries and small businesses nationwide. Many business owners expect to face continued challenges - including the ongoing pandemic - to their stability and success.

The use of drones in engineering inspections has exploded over the last five years. This year the FAA estimates over 2.5 million aerial drones will be purchased. This large increase is for aerial drones, but there are also wheeled and tracked drones, and submersible drones.

Confirming effective cathodic protection on a target structure involves verification of accurate measured potentials to compare against industry criteria. This is often performed via an interrupted survey to remove certain errors, yet a capacitive effect present in some situations may influence the readings, leading the operator toward incorrect conclusions.

Corrosion under Insulation (CUI) is a widespread problem affecting several industries, causing significant loss of containment events. Due to its aggressive but hidden nature, CUI poses a significant challenge to operators. This presentation discusses approaches for combating CUI.

The presence of moisture is necessary for corrosion under insulation (CUI) to occur. When designing process facilities, the selection of the insulation system is an important factor. Improper choices can not only lead to under-performing insulation systems, but also contribute to issues associated with CUI.

This talk will cover the tools and techniques for managing corrosion at water and wastewater utilities. The first part of the talk will cover chemical, biological, and galvanic sources of corrosion.

This presentation will discuss how the numerical simulation of corrosion, in conjunction with simulation apps and machine learning algorithms, can be used to successfully predict the corrosion performance of materials in service environments. Attendees can ask questions throughout the webcast, or at the end during the Q&A session.

The technical challenges of alternating current (AC) mitigation within cathodic protection systems are a major and growing concern for owners and operators of critical infrastructure across the world.

Fresh water is in increasing demand, particularly in arid and hot climates. Desalination is more commonly being used to remove the salt from brackish water and seawater to make it drinkable. Although the most favored desalination method is seawater reverse osmosis, multiple effect distillation (MED) can be competitive, particularly if associated with a power station with spare steam.
