Flow Loop Study of NaCl Concentration Effect on Erosion, Corrosion, and Erosion-Corrosion of Carbon Steel in CO-Saturated Systems http://link.aip.org/link/?COR/68/026001/1&agg=rss Sh. Hassani, K. P. Roberts, S. A. Shirazi, J. R. Shadley, E. F. Rybicki et al.<br/> Erosion-corrosion deterioration of carbon steel in carbon dioxide (CO)-saturated systems with sand is a problem in the oil and gas industry because the combined effects of erosion and corrosion can reduce the protection provided by iron-carbonate scale formation or inhibitors. Oil and gas production ... [CORROSION 68, 026001 (2012)] published Tue Jan 24, 2012. Corrosion Rate Prediction in the Liquid Collection Section of Separating TanksPart 1: Dependence on Temperature, O, pH, and Superficial Conditions http://link.aip.org/link/?COR/68/025006/1&agg=rss J. M. Medina Huerta, J. G. Godinez, and J. L. Gonzalez<br/> The exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs produces oil-gas-water mixtures which are set apart in separating tanks. The main operating risk of these tanks is the presence of aggressive compounds, such as carbon dioxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (HS), which can cause corrosion in the tank wall, and i ...
