Providing solutions to internal corrosion issues
— OIL AND GAS CASE STUDY - MAJOR GAS TERMINAL OPERATOR Providing solutions to internal corrosion issues ABB’s materials engineering specialists enable the operator of a major gas processing facility to continue to process gas with a high level of entrained salt. Gas from a number of newly developed offshore wells is now being received at the client’s gas processing facility. At 160,000 ppm (16%) the levels of salt within this gas plus liquids far exceed the design levels for the processing train. The client was concerned that the integrity of the equipment was being compromised by an accelerated rate of internal chloride driven corrosion, drastically reducing the operating life of the vessels and pipework. The client required an investigation to be undertaken rapidly to id
