hydrocarbons are prone to bacterial and fungal contamination. bacteria and fungi live and proliferate in water droplets within the fuels and on surfaces surrounding them. this can cause corrosion in oil exploration and production, clogging of fuel lines in aviation and higher emissions in diesel combustion engines to state few examples. state-of-the-art is the addition of biocides to fuels, whi...

Speculating about where the future of the field of corrosion prevention, detection, and rehabilitation might lead is interesting—but not without risk. We all are aware of the revolution in electronics, particularly digital electronics, and information science during the past 20 years. We also should recognize that materials science and technology have undergone a major revolution, bringing us n...

The corrosion protection factor (c.p.f.) and the corrosion condition (cc.) are simple instruments for the study and evaluation of the contribution and efficiency of several methods of corrosion prevention and control. The application of c.p.f. and cc. to corrosion and prevention in agriculture in The Netherlands is considered in detail. Attention is paid to relations between c.p.f. and c.c., th...

Corrosion control can be initiated in many ways and may involve either a reduction in corrosion rate or corrosion prevention. Electrolytic corrosion can be prevented by removing a corrosion parameter such as oxygen, moisture or the soluble ions that form the electrolyte. Removing moisture will prevent the formation of an electrolyte solution and is normally cheaper and technically less challeng...

Corrosion of complex electronic equipment is an increasingly serious problem, causing expensive damage. Corrosion occurs through out the entire life cycle during different stages of manufacturing, assembly, transport and storage of components and assemblies and during field operations of the equipment. Presence of moisture, chloride, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and other airborne corrosi...

E M A I L : a m p t i a c @ i i t r i . o rg Introduction The Air Force Corrosion Prevention and Control Office, located at Robins AFB, GA, and operated by the Air Force Research Laboratories’ Materials Directorate recently achieved a major milestone in demonstrating an aircraft corrosion prediction program. The AF Corrosion Prevention and Control Office accomplishes its mission by ensuring Air...

The causes and the prevention of carbon steel corrosion in amine systems are reviewed. The corrosive agents are acid gases, oxygen, heat stable salts, amine degradation products, and, in refineries, gas contaminants such as ammonia and hydrogen cyanide. Corrosion mechanisms are provided for carbon steel exposed to amine solutions and for amine regenerator overhead systems containing aqueous con...

A novel Mannich-modified imidazoline (MMI) as cationic emulsifier was synthesised for corrosion harm reduction, through three steps — acylation, cyclization, and Mannich reaction. The surface activity was characterized by determination of surface tensions and critical micelle concentration (CMC). The corrosion inhibition performance of five types of steels in the simulated corrosion solution in...

Background: This study investigated the prevention of stack corrosion under wet flue gas desulfurization conditions in a coal-fired power plant. The performance analysis and comparative studies of six materials for the prevention of stack corrosion were investigated. Results: The ion chromatography analysis showed the acid condensation contained fluoride, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, and sulphi...
