Protecting pipelines from corrosion while ensuring they are leak free, safe, and comply with industry standards and regulations has never been more challenging.

The editors of “Corrosion Management for a Sustainable future” will discuss the genesis of their motivation behind the book and the process and criteria they used to develop applicable topics and appropriate SMEs.

Join us as we sit down in conversation with Drs. Roger Francis and Abdelkader Meroufel, the authors of Corrosion Management and Control in Desalination: An Industrial Guide.

In this presentation, Element experts Mark Eldridge and Glyn Morgan explore the material issues and uncertainties when transitioning from methane to hydrogen, and what that means for your business.

Dynamic AC and DC stray currents are a growing concern for pipeline asset operators. Short in duration and hard to detect, these events can create serious conditions that can lead to accelerated corrosion and material loss.

In this webcast, Dairyland Business Development Leader Tim Bechtel will examine the basic function of decouplers and over-voltage protection devices and explain how they should be used in conjunction with cathodic protection systems to obtain optimal corrosion and safety protection.

NIPPON STEEL has successfully developed three austenitic stainless steel grades, called AP grades. In this webcast, the performance and availability of AP grades will be presented.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is not an unsolved mystery—we know why and how it develops. The question is what can be done to eliminate it or minimize the spread. Presenters Kat Coronado and Ron King will delve into how moisture gets into a system, what happens when it remains, and how service temperature makes a difference.

In this webcast, you'll learn how to determine the right monitoring and compliance solutions that can drive your response to the new Mega Rule expansion into more than 400,000 miles of additional onshore pipeline.

Fire poses a significant threat to facilities utilizing or producing hydrocarbons, due to the unmatched heat and spread when a hydrocarbon pool fire breaks out. Passive fire protection (PFP) is essential for process safety and critical to piping equipment by impeding the flow of heat and/or escalation of fire. ROCKWOOL’s ProRox with FR-Tech (Fire Resistant Technology) insulation is a key component for PFP.

When designing insulation systems within process facilities, a common concern is the possibility of corrosion under insulation (CUI) to develop. By understanding the risk factors that contribute to CUI, an effective and durable insulation system can be designed in order to mitigate the potential of CUI throughout the system’s lifespan.

Remote monitoring units record and transmit cathodic protection (CP) data from hard-to-reach locations on a regular basis. These units have been used by pipeline operators for over a decade, but often only to capture baseline data to determine if a CP component is within compliance.

Cathodic Protection workflows can be complex and inefficient. Digitizing data acquisition, analysis, and reporting can save time and money and give you more accurate results.

Corrosion is damaging to structures and infrastructure, costing billions of dollars every year. Understanding the corrosion process and how to mitigate it by applying the correct protection procedure is crucial for reducing corrosion damage costs.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is more likely to occur in specific areas in piping and equipment systems. However, the visible areas where water ingress occurs are not necessarily the same areas where corrosion damage can be found.
