SUMMARY:ICorr London Branch’ Speaker name – Brian Bennett\, ChampionX
DESCRIPTION:Speaker name: Brian Bennett\nPresentation title:  Development of Multifunctional Corrosion Inhibitor Products Used for Cleaning Produced Water Systems \nOil and gas produced water handling systems can be prone to fouling. Fouling can occur from incomplete separation resulting in hydrocarbon carrying through to the water handling infrastructure. Other particulates can also carry through or form due to the changing conditions as the fluids and gas are processed. As the fluids cool and acid gases are flashed off increased scaling tendencies and iron sulphide formation can occur. The hydrocarbon can act like a glue that helps to bind the other particulates together and deposit on the pipe surfaces. Deposition also creates areas for bacteria to proliferate. Corrosion mechanisms change from those created by the acid gases dissolved in the water to under-deposit or microbiologically influenced corrosion when heavy fouling occurs. \nThis presentation outlines the laboratory work undertaken to develop a chemical solution for oilfield cleaning of hydrocarbon\, iron sulphide and calcium carbonate scale deposition while maintaining a product compatible with mild steel such that it could be stored or applied in carbon steel infrastructure. In addition to the development work it will highlight the application of the product in the field in a salt water processing facility experiencing deposition issues. \nBiography: Brian Bennett began working in the oil and gas chemicals sector in research and development 15 years ago developing corrosion inhibitors and biocides in addition to corrosion inhibitor and microbiological test methods. He started with Nalco Company in the United States and now leads a research team out of the United Kingdom supporting ChampionX business in the European\, Asia Pacific\, Sub Saharan Africa and Middle East sectors. \nQualifications: Bachelors of Science in Chemistry\, Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology \nSchedule:\n18:00 – Arrival at venue\n18:30 – Presentation\n19:15 – Q&A followed by refreshments / networking \nVenue:\nLancaster Hall Hotel\n​35 Craven Terrace\nLondon\nW2 3EL \nNearest Tube / Train Station: Paddington Station (approx. 5 mins walk)

SUMMARY:HQ Event Northampton - 20-24 March – Fundamentals of Corrosion Course.
DESCRIPTION:The next Fundamentals of Corrosion course is presented by the Institute of Corrosion.  The course will be based on practical information and hands-on examples as well as relevant background theory. Attendees on the course will be given a wide-ranging introduction to all the major aspects of corrosion engineering. \nSuccessful completion of the course and the associated examination will required for obtaining Professional membership of ICorr for those without either formal qualifications in corrosion or the relevant time experience. \n \nWho is the course for?\nThe course will be suitable for engineers\, paint inspectors\, designers\, technicians and scientists wishing to expand their career opportunities into the corrosion field or wanting to broaden or refresh their knowledge of corrosion in general. \nCivil\, mechanical\, chemical and naval engineers will find the course aids their ability to assess potential or actual corrosion situations and to be able build anti-corrosion measures and strategies into their projects.  It will also help to understand the mechanisms and causes of common premature failures. \nThe course will take place over a 5 day period in a classroom format; four days being talks and practical sessions and the fifth day being a short review and the examination.  There will be opportunities to ask questions at all times during the course.Course Content. \n \nThe course will include:\n\nCorrosion of common metals.\nBasic corrosion science.\nCommon corrosion mechanisms; galvanic\, crevice\, pitting\, deposition\, corrosion under deposit/lagging\, stress corrosion and cracking.\nThe electrochemical series and its practical uses.\nMethods for preventing or managing corrosion\, including Inhibitors/passivation.\nIntroduction to cathodic protection.\nSurface preparation challenges\, paints & coatings.\nCorrosion and environmental conditions.\nMaterial selection & design.\nCorrosion testing and monitoring.\n\nCourse Presenter.\nThe course will be presented by Dr Jane Lomas (FICorr). \nJane is an experienced corrosion & coatings engineer at Amtec Consultants Ltd with a multi-disciplinary background. She has over 30 years practical experience of marine corrosion and building coatings issues\, from project design\, through new building to guarantee claims; ongoing coating maintenance problems and repair issues. \nShe also works on a global basis with failure investigations and product liability claims in the automotive\, industrial\, aerospace and water treatment industries as an investigator and problem solver. \nJane manages multi-company projects for both R&D purposes and claims cases and also runs the laboratory at Amtec. \n\nFellow – Institute of Corrosion (FICorr)\nHonorary Secretary\, Trustee and Council Member of ICorr.\n\nGuest Presenter:\nDr Les Callow is a metallurgist and corrosion engineer with over 40 years practical experience of corrosion across a wide range of industries. Currently\, he is primarily working as a technical expert for many litigation cases and appears at arbitration\, court\, etc\, as an expert witness. \nThe cost will be £1050 + VAT per person and includes lunches and refreshments on each day.  Participants will need to arrange their own accommodation and information on local hotels\, etc can be provided on request. \nDue to the size of the room available\, this course will be limited to 10 people\, so early booking is recommended. \nPlease download booking form and send to admin@icorr.org \nFurther information on the course can be obtained from the Institute of Corrosion: admin@icorr.org

SUMMARY:Latest News - Upcoming Aberdeen Technical Events
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Event – Registration for this Event will be emailed from ICorr HQ nearer the time. \nCompany: Virtuosity   \nPresenter: Kevin McDonald \nEffective Pipework analysis and inspection planning using Digital Twins \nIntegrity of pipework is essential for safe and reliable operation of process plants. Inspections are traditionally performed at large numbers of individual test points with results recorded in an inspection database. In general\, this data is subject to relatively simple analysis with the results used in integrity management decisions. However\, this traditional approach can be heavily influenced by poor processes\, outliers or errors for example; incorrect entry of results\, not recording higher thickness readings than those obtained previously\, and inconsistencies in inspection location are some examples of how error can be introduced into this process. This could lead to poor integrity decisions. Analysis of pipework data\, which is in general restricted to the difference between two thickness readings relative to the dates the readings were taken\, can then be driven by measurement error. \nA novel alternative is to consider historic datasets as a whole and look at long-term statistical behaviour to consider how corrosion could be affecting pipework. This approach looks at whole datasets to determine behaviour before considering any sub-groupings of data points that are showing similar behaviour. For example\, straight sections of vertical pipework may be showing higher evidence of corrosion than other feature types. Considering sub-groupings of features within a pipework circuit has several benefits: a more representative statistical corrosion rate can be calculated per sub-group that will yield better insight into corrosion behaviour\, an illustration of points that could have been over inspected or under inspected\, and information on features that may be of concern on other circuits. This methodology can deliver more efficient and targeted inspections\, which represents significant cost savings in the form of lower inspection costs\, and better planning of when repair or replacement may be necessary. \nThis approach is underpinned by simple and effective access to the data\, which is linked to a 3D mini digital twin. The mini-Twin also hosts a variety of data\, as well as individual test points\, corrosion maps\, can house inspection histories\, photographs\, and further data analysis or corrosion rates\, fitness for service etc. The 3D is used to present data in efficient ways to quickly provide an overview of the health of the pipework circuit\, for example inspection frequency\, inspection count\, corrosion rates\, all of which is valuable information for engineers and asset stakeholders.
