11398: Investigation of Elemental Sulfur Corrosion Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sour gas wells frequently co-produce elemental sulfur which can cause catastrophic corrosion of mild steel. As producing wells become increasingly sour, the incidence of sulfur corrosion will likely increase. Despite the severity of this problem, limited mechanistic information about this process exists in the literature. The objective of this study is investigation of the corrosion mechanism involving elemental sulfur.

Practical Corrosion Control Measures for Elemental Sulfur Containing Environments
This paper provides an overview of materials’ performance in well environments containing H2S and elemental sulphur (S). Based on this information the factors affecting the service life of materials used for well completion and surface facilities in highly sour environments are discussed and limitations on materials selection and chemical inhibition procedures are suggested.
متن کاملEffect of Elemental Sulfur and Sulfide on the Corrosion Behavior of Cr-Mo Low Alloy Steel for Tubing and Tubular Components in Oil and Gas Industry
The chemical degradation of alloy components in sulfur-containing environments is a major concern in oil and gas production. This paper discusses the effect of elemental sulfur and its simplest anion, sulfide, on the corrosion of Cr-Mo alloy steel at pH 2 and 5 during 10, 20 and 30 h immersion in two different solutions. 4130 Cr-Mo alloy steel is widely used as tubing and tubular components in ...
متن کاملCatalytic reduction of SO2 with CH4 to elemental sulfur: A comparative analysis of alumina, copper-alumina and nickel-alumina catalysts
The catalytic reduction of sulfur dioxide with methane to form elemental sulfur has been studied. Al2O3, Cu-Al2O3 and Ni-Al2O3 were examined as catalysts and their performances were compared in terms of SO2 conversion and selectivity. Performance of the catalyst extremely enhanced when nickel and copper were added as promoters. The effects of temperature, SO2/CH4 molar ratio, and reaction...
متن کاملCharacterization of elemental and structural composition of corrosion scales and deposits formed in drinking water distribution systems.
Corrosion scales and deposits formed within drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) have the potential to retain inorganic contaminants. The objective of this study was to characterize the elemental and structural composition of extracted pipe solids and hydraulically-mobile deposits originating from representative DWDSs. Goethite (alpha-FeOOH), magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) and siderite (FeCO(3)) ...
متن کامل“An investigation of the corrosion characteristics of base ceramo-metal dental casting alloys"
Ceramo-metal dental casting alloys are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures (bridges). Ni-Cr and Co-Cr are base ceramo-metal dental casting alloys and now account for the majority of the fixed metalceramic restorations used clinically. The corrosion of these alloys result in release of elemental components with potential adverse biological reactions. It is of great importance to investiga...
