Corrosion in Amine Treating Units

Corrosion in Amine Treating Units, Second Edition presents a fully updated resource with a broadened focus that includes corrosion in not only refining operations, but also in oil and gas production. New sections have been added on inhibition, corrosion modeling and metallic coatings. More detailed descriptions of the degradation mechanisms and Integrity Operating Windows (IOW) are now included, as is more in-depth information on guidelines for what sections and locations are most vulnerable to corrosion and how to control corrosion in amine units e.g., using corrosion Loop descriptions and providing indicative integrity operating windows for operation to achieve a suitable life expectance. - Provides new insights on the degradation mechanisms occurring in amine treating units and the locations within the unit where they occur
- Discusses how to mitigate and control corrosion in amine units
- Provides guidance for setting up corrosion control documents and inspection and maintenance plans for amine treating units
