Area: Department of Chemistry
Credits: 25.0
Contact Hours: 4.0
Lecture: 3 x 1 Hours Weekly
Tutorial: 1 x 1 Hours Weekly
Prerequisite(s): 313629 (v.1) Corrosion Chemistry 500
Syllabus: The unit focuses on the monitoring techniques and mitigation strategies required to assess internal and external flowline corrosion and develop and manage inernal corrosion control programs. A deep understanding of the corrosion environment in oil and gas systems, carbonic acid mechanisms, kinetics and reactions, electrochemical theories and methods, CO2 and H2S corrosion mechanisms, kinetics, product scale and its effects will be provided. Flow regimes in pipelines, corrosion types for different operating phases, predictive modelling, indentification, detection and corrosion measurement, resistant alloys, inhibitors, intelligent pigging and monitoring devices. Topics covered in detail are: TOp of the line corrosion, under deposit corrosion, developongtechnologies and mproved maintenance plans to minimise corrosion as well as data interpretation, analysis and integration as well as criteria for determining corrosion action for high level internal corrosion problems within a pipeline system. Furthermore, the topics of corrosion protective coatings and the application of cathodic protection will be covered for the prevention
