Fire poses a significant threat to facilities utilizing or producing hydrocarbons, due to the unmatched heat and spread when a hydrocarbon pool fire breaks out. Passive fire protection (PFP) is essential for process safety and critical to piping equipment by impeding the flow of heat and/or escalation of fire. ROCKWOOL’s ProRox with FR-Tech (Fire Resistant Technology) insulation is a key component for PFP.

When designing insulation systems within process facilities, a common concern is the possibility of corrosion under insulation (CUI) to develop. By understanding the risk factors that contribute to CUI, an effective and durable insulation system can be designed in order to mitigate the potential of CUI throughout the system’s lifespan.

Remote monitoring units record and transmit cathodic protection (CP) data from hard-to-reach locations on a regular basis. These units have been used by pipeline operators for over a decade, but often only to capture baseline data to determine if a CP component is within compliance.

Cathodic Protection workflows can be complex and inefficient. Digitizing data acquisition, analysis, and reporting can save time and money and give you more accurate results.

Corrosion is damaging to structures and infrastructure, costing billions of dollars every year. Understanding the corrosion process and how to mitigate it by applying the correct protection procedure is crucial for reducing corrosion damage costs.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is more likely to occur in specific areas in piping and equipment systems. However, the visible areas where water ingress occurs are not necessarily the same areas where corrosion damage can be found.

Although both standard gaskets and isolation gaskets seal flange leakage, isolation gaskets generally have many other advantages over standard gaskets, with newer developments in isolation gaskets widening the gap between the two.

A total system approach, including updated specifications and proper design, installation of materials, and maintenance of the insulation system, is essential in the fight against corrosion under insulation (CUI).

On June 24, 2021, the Champlain Towers South condominium building collapsed before 1:30 a.m. and killed 98 people. This tragedy has left Americans grieving and wanting answers.

Bounce back from supply chain disruptions at breakneck speed! More than 50% of companies are simply not ready to weather the new norm ‘storm’! What are the key resiliency techniques to ensure you safeguard your business from the potential impacts?

This webcast will provide information regarding Tucson Water's proactive asset management program for infrastructure, which includes a Pipeline Protection Program.

This year is an important one for industries and small businesses nationwide. Many business owners expect to face continued challenges - including the ongoing pandemic - to their stability and success.

The use of drones in engineering inspections has exploded over the last five years. This year the FAA estimates over 2.5 million aerial drones will be purchased. This large increase is for aerial drones, but there are also wheeled and tracked drones, and submersible drones.

This talk will cover the tools and techniques for managing corrosion at water and wastewater utilities. The first part of the talk will cover chemical, biological, and galvanic sources of corrosion.

Going into effect on July 1, 2020, the new PHMSA “Gas Mega Rule, Part 1” aims to increase the level of safety associated with the transportation and operation of onshore gas transmission pipelines.
