London Branch Event - Summer Webinar
2023-08-10 12:00 - 14:00
Dear all, you are cordially invited to our third summer webinar on 10 August at 12:00 BST. Leroy Dias will
Present on AI powered Corrosion Monitoring.
Please use this Zoom link to register: https://lnkd.in/eK9-HJs6
Corrosion is a serious threat to all assets, and more so to ships as they operate in a very harsh environment.
By using AI to monitor corrosion we can mitigate some of those threats by identifying the issues and fixing them before they can pose a problem. AI can process a large number of photos quickly and objectively thus eliminating the human centric risk of missing critical areas.
Using an AI model cleverly embedded in a code allows us to derive from the findings and send these actionable insights to ship owners thus enabling better data driven decisions. The findings are also used by ship owners to estimate the resources needed.
The mobile app allows ship’s crew to upload photos effortlessly even in offline mode, thus saving hours of crew time. Shore based managers do not need to go through lengthy reports to figure out how their asset is being maintained as the app provides a historic repository of data and AI tells them where to look.
About the speaker:
Leroy is a life-long learner who is always willing to explore. Worked for over 20+ years in the corrosion and coatings industry with a paint contractor and a paint manufacturer, and then founded a start-up known as SteelCorr in Dubai. Created and commercially launched the first AI powered Corrosion Monitoring app for the Maritime industry that is currently being used by 150+ ships worldwide.
Leroy holds following qualifications: Bachelor of Engineering, NACE Protective Coating Specialist, FROSIO Paint Inspector.

Effect of Microstructure on the Localised Corrosion and Atmospheric Stress Corrosion Cracking of 15-5PH Stainless Steel
2023-09-26 08:00 - 17:00
Topic: Effect of Microstructure on the Localised Corrosion and Atmospheric Stress Corrosion Cracking of 15-5PH Stainless Steel
Synopsis:This work aimed to enhance the mechanistic understanding of pitting and atmospheric induced stress corrosion cracking (AISCC) of 15-5PH stainless steel by establishing links between microstructural features (here affected by changing the ageing temperature, 450 °C, 540 °C and 650 °C) and susceptibility to such phenomena. Microstructural evolution was characterised using STEM EDX and differences in pitting behaviours were assessed using double loop electrochemical reactivation (DL-EPR) which found a linear trend in degree of sensitisation with ageing temperature which correlated with the increase in the presence of Cr carbides. Electrochemical noise measured by galvanically coupling dissimilar microstructures suggests that the higher temperature ageing treatment, which produced the most metastable pitting events, may have a higher probability of transitioning to stable pitting. Four-point bend specimens with Cl- salt deposits exposed to controlled temperature and humidity revealed that higher ageing temperatures were more resistant to cracking. In addition the mode of cracking changed from an intergranular pathway in 450 °C specimens to mixed-intergranular and transgranular in 540 °C whilst no cracks were observed in samples aged at 650 °C.

Routine Monitoring to combat Microbiological Issues in Oilfield Process Systems – Understand the Option for Better Visibility.
2023-10-31 08:00 - 17:00
Synopsis:
Even after over 35 years of practical field experience and routine monitoring in the endeavour to effectively manage microbiological proliferation and control microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), failures still lead to unplanned shutdowns, repair and replacement costs. Over the last decades, a suite of microbiological and molecular methods has become available to the oil and gas industry to gauge the adverse effect of microbes in oil and gas installations. Extensive effort has been made to understand and act accordingly on the output of these different techniques and interpret results gained from these analyses to best effect. For example, data from qPCR are used routinely alongside the traditional culture-based techniques, such as MPN (Most probable number) counts as a monitoring technique aiding in understanding the status of the offshore system and guiding the action required to be taken, whilst next generation sequencing (NGS) remains a method used for more in-depth testing, such as in failure investigations.
In this talk we will be reviewing the current status quo of monitoring techniques, looking at the different information supplied by a range of methods available – what can we conclude from MPN data versus qPCR data, what different outputs can we expect when using different sequencing platforms (Illumina MiSeq versus Nanopore MinION). We will also be looking at what are the most common monitoring practices on hand in some case studies.

Technical Talk - ICorr London Branch
2024-01-18 | Lancaster hall Hotel, 35 Craven Terrace, London W2 3EL, 35 Craven Terrace, London, W2 3EL, United Kingdom
Presenter: Michael Harrison – Sherwin-WilliamsTopic: Examination of Lining performance in Renewable and Biofuels and Feedstocks.
Refreshments from 6.00pm, presentation 6.30pm
Abstract: Global demand for renewable and bio-based fuels is expected to grow with political and consumer-led mandates on reducing greenhouse gases. A typical biofuel production facility faces numerous performance challenges which are unique to its process, feedstock, and operating parameters. Traditional developments and performance enhancements in the linings from coating manufacturers and suppliers in the Energy sector have focused on feedstocks and fuels from fossil sources (Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Coal). It cannot be assumed that these linings, with proven track record in O&G sector, can be used in the “Renewable and Bio-fuel sector” as the chemistry can be considerably diﬀerent and more aggressive. A detailed study was undertaken to examine the performance of lining systems via a series of isothermal immersion tests relevant to biofuels sector. The performance of traditional linings with a proven track record were compared to next-generation solvent free epoxy novolac linings and solvent free glass ﬂake novolac vinyl ester linings. Lessons learnt from this performance evaluation provided an array of selection tools to the Biofuel asset owners and facility managers to select the appropriate lining system for their speciﬁc process and needs.
Michael has 35 years of experience in the protective coatings industry. During this time, Michael was responsible for the development and testing of heavy duty solvent free linings with subsequent roles in business support and business development. Extra to this he has been the project lead in the revision of ISO 16961 (Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries — Internal coating and lining of steel storage tanks).
