Petrochemical Industry ENSURING SAFETY AND UPTIME WITH SECURE PROCESS CONTROL NETWORKS

December 30, 2019

The industrial control systems for production facilities in eight countries from North America to Asia were being managed locally at each site, with no standardized components or corporate view. Reporting on the security status of these systems relied heavily on manual processes and often was not reliable. System data was not always logged and was not always accurate

The Evolution Of Composite Riser Systems: A different approach to managing corrosion in the pre-salt

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

Corrosion costs the oil and gas industry $1.372 billion every year. No operator is more aware of the high costs of corrosion than Petrobras. In Brazil’s deepwater pre-salt reserves no pipe comprising metallics has so far evaded corrosion due to the combination of hydrogen sulfide, water and high temperatures. The problem has led Petrobras to look to Magma’s composite m-pipe. We have been working to qualify m-pipe in Brazil and share our initial results in this paper.

Silicone-Base Coating Mitigates Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) In Petrochemical Plants

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is one of the costliest problems in the petrochemical industry. It also presents a high degree of potential danger. CUI occurs when moisture mixed with contaminants infiltrates insulation, encouraging the development of corrosion cells on the steel underneath. This paper demonstrates how Sherwin-Williams Heat-Flex® High-Temp 1200 withstands temperature fluctuations, thermal shock and other upset conditions to protect against hidden CUI.
