The “Field Guide for Managing Iron Sulfide (Black Powder) within Pipelines or Processing Equipment” offers practical guidance for corrosion control and operations personnel in managing black powder within their pipeline systems or processing equipment.  It starts with a discussion of what is black powder and identifies health and safety considerations associated with H₂S and the presence of black powder, identifying why there may be a concern.  The Field Guide presents field and laboratory tests typically used to identify the presence of iron sulfide, and then discusses maintenance pigging and/or chemical treatments for removing such particulates.  Several case studies are also presented.

NEW EDITION: The Second Edition of this classic handbook combines Volumes 1 and 2 of the First Edition into a single volume, adding updated commentary and many new case histories. Mechanisms and numerous case histories illustrate general, localized and galvanic corrosion, environmental cracking, erosion-corrosion, cavitation, fretting, intergranular attack, dealloying, and high-temperature corrosion.

This book presents detailed corrosion mechanisms and case histories of a wide variety of corrosion problems from chemical plants, oil production and refining, utilities, pipelines, transport by air, land, and sea, electronics, and the preservation of historical artifacts. The uses of advanced analytical techniques such as electron microscopy, metallography, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Aüger spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques are presented to illustrate their utility in corrosion failure investigations.

As CORROSION journal celebrates 75 years of corrosion mitigation and control research in 2019, we offer a selection of articles by decade. These articles remain the most viewed research articles of their respective decade, highlighting important topics, experimental methods and discussions surrounding the pertinent research of the day, and they continue to provide intelligence, perspective and insights for today’s corrosion research.

Underdeposit corrosion (UDC) has been recognized by the oil and gas industry as a major threat to the integrity matrix of the production and transportation of oil and gas and has frequently been blamed for high corrosion rates and loss of containment during operations.

The content of this NACE International CorrCompilation: Underdeposit Corrosion covers a wide range of topics that were assembled to help the reader better understand and assess UDC threat, determine the corrosion mechanism(s) responsible for the UDC, and adopt the appropriate mitigation strategies to target the active corrosion mechanism(s). The topics include proper identification and characterization of the deposits encountered in oil and gas production and transportation systems; laboratory UDC testing methods to determine responsible UDC corrosion mechanism(s) and evaluate inhibitor performance; UDC threat assessment through modeling and prediction of solids transport and settling; Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA) methods as a means to assess UDC threat; identifying and applying appropriate UDC preventive and mitigative strategies; and finally, case studies to elucidate real examples of how UDC was identified and managed.

This book presents new developments that have affected the commercial use of chemicals and devices to clean industrial equipment. This second edition will emphasize the mechanisms of important cleaning processes and solvents and will give an overview of the science and technology of the formation and removal of fouling deposits in the industrial equipment environment. It is directed to a general technically trained audience, with emphasis placed on the basic chemical and mechanical principles of industrial cleaning (IC).

Corrosion management (CM) is a rather new concept and expertise. Its origins go back to early 2000's. The CM concept emerged from the UK's offshore oil and gas industry; from where the author also started his professional career.

Due to this newness and a vast multitude of application benefits, there has been a constant growth in demands for the provision of CM awareness, training, expertise and consultancy year after year.

The author has so far compiled a total of four CM books and this one is the last in the series. It is also the most comprehensive among the four books, with a greater emphasis and focus on CM field implementation.

Therefore, if one intends to implement CM across their asset(s), then this book could provide them with the required advice, instructions and guidelines on  proper CM field implementation for both hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon industries.

The book covers subjects from how to define the scope of work to report writing and communicating the latest integrity findings.

It is written in a simple and jargon-free language and intended for various disciplines including: corrosion and integrity engineers, inspection engineers, pipeline engineers, process engineers, maintenance engineers and asset integrity managers

NEW EDITION!! For nearly 50 years Control of Pipeline Corrosion, written by A.W. Peabody, has been the most trusted resource in the field of pipeline corrosion. Now completely revised and updated, the third edition of this classic reference continues the tradition of excellence by providing the most thorough and authoritative coverage of the prevention and control of pipeline corrosion, and now includes a chapter on AC interference. 

Peabody's Control of Pipeline Corrosion, Third Edition, edited by Ronald Bianchetti, blends traditional corrosion engineering practices with modern technologies to make this the single source for corrosion control. Chapters have updated information and graphics to expand on the user-friendly nature of the original book.
