Case histories of amine plant equipment corrosion problems–Part 2
Past corrosion incidents provide insight into the causes of corrosion and the preventive actions required to protect plant equipment and reduce costly plant downtime.
Case histories of amine plant equipment corrosion problems–Part 1
Lost production from corrosion costs the oil and gas industry more than $1 B/yr.1
Controlling corrosion: Case studies from amine plant operations
The total annual cost of corrosion in the oil and gas production industry is estimated to be $1.372 B.1 More significantly, failures due to corrosion can result in environmental releases and injury or death of plant personnel.
