SEEING IS BELIEVING. A VISUAL METHOD OF CORROSION MANAGEMENT USING PROTECTIVE COATINGS

摘要

Corrosion costs billions of dollars every year in downtime, and in steel and concrete replacement. How do we determine what areas of a plant or facility should be treated for corrosion, and when is the most appropriate time? This paper will discuss how all parties, from Asset Owner to Consultant to Plant Engineers to Contractors gain a greater understanding of the challenges associated with bringing a plant online and forming a predictive economical maintenance plan to increase the longevity of assets. Using a novel approach of Computer Aided Flow charts we will explore how micro-environments require unique treatment, specifically in: 1 The Mining Market categories of extraction, processing and transportation 2 The Waste Water Treatment Market categories of new construction and maintenance and repair. 3 The Oil and Gas Markets categories of upstream and downstream These tools allow all members of the contract chain to accurately visualise the specific plant areas and work together to improve corrosion protection.
