Unraveling the Mystery of Corrosion Control Treatments

Corrosion – the silent enemy of metal structures and equipment. It sneaks in unnoticed, gradually eating away at surfaces, compromising structural integrity, and causing costly damage. But fear not! With the right Corrosion Control Treatments, you can wage war against this formidable foe and protect your assets from its destructive grasp. Let's delve into the world of corrosion control treatments, exploring their importance, strategies, and the transformative impact they have on industries across the United States.

Understanding the Significance of Corrosion Control Treatments

Why are corrosion control treatments crucial for industrial assets? Imagine your metal equipment as knights in shining armor, vulnerable to the relentless assault of rust – corrosion control treatments act as their protective shield, preserving their strength and resilience against the ravages of time and the elements.

Preventing Structural Deterioration

Corrosion control treatments are not just about aesthetics; they're about preserving the structural integrity of metal assets. How do these treatments prevent deterioration? By forming a barrier that shields surfaces from moisture, oxygen, and corrosive agents, corrosion control treatments prevent the electrochemical reactions that lead to corrosion, ensuring that structures remain sound and functional for years to come.

Extending Service Life

Just as a well-maintained suit of armor can withstand the test of time, corrosion control treatments extend the service life of metal assets. How do they achieve this? By proactively addressing corrosion and preventing its spread, these treatments reduce the need for costly repairs and replacements, saving both time and money in the long run.

Strategies for Corrosion Control Treatments

Protective Coatings

Protective coatings are the frontline defense against corrosion, forming a durable barrier that shields metal surfaces from environmental exposure. What types of coatings are commonly used?

Epoxy Coatings: Known for their excellent adhesion and chemical resistance, epoxy coatings are ideal for protecting metal structures in harsh industrial environments.

Zinc-rich Primers: Zinc-rich primers provide sacrificial protection by corroding in place of the underlying metal, delaying the onset of corrosion and extending the lifespan of the coating system.

Polyurethane Coatings: Polyurethane coatings offer superior UV resistance and weatherability, making them suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight and moisture is a concern.

Cathodic Protection

Cathodic protection is another effective strategy for combating corrosion, particularly in buried or submerged metal structures. How does cathodic protection work? By introducing a sacrificial anode or impressed current system, cathodic protection creates a cathodic environment that inhibits corrosion, preserving the integrity of underground pipelines, storage tanks, and marine structures.

Benefits of Corrosion Control Treatments

Horizon AU: Twin Flames - Isaac's final armor and weapons variations (Zero Dawn Act). Text transcription under the cut after the images!

REPOST, EDIT/USE OR FEED MY ART TO AI ISN'T ALLOWED

Edit: Updated some text on the Oseram and Banuk arts.

You can read Isaac's lore here: [LINK]

Will he use those variations in the story? Yes! :D hehe. Also, in this AU only Aloy wears Oseran armor while only Beta wears Carja armor, because Oseran's armor is too heavy and noisy for Beta's stealth strategies, while Carja's armor is too weak for Aloy's melee fighting style.

This AU has an ongoing fanfic! You can read on Ao3: [LINK]

Text transcription:

Ravager's cannon: It gives Isaac the ability to fire rapidly like a Ravager can, but with much more precision. It can also do charged-up shots for more heavy damage. This is the most noiseless ranged weapon from Isaac, allowing the charged shot to be used for sniping. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Stalker Blade Tail: The swiftest and lightest melee weapon from Isaac's arsenal. It's the best pick to fight against lightweight machines and stealth attacks. Its thin shape and ability to spin and move up and down (at an angle of about 120 degrees) can also be used for precision attacks (e.g., to take off machine components or stealth-stabbing humans).

Nora's stealth armor: The natural materials of this armor allow Isaac to camouflage better within the natural landscape. The lack of metal pieces also helps reduce noise while moving. This armor is resistant to shock and ice damage but weak against fire and corrosion damage. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

Thunderjaw’s Disk Launcher: Isaac can use the disks like a Thunderjaw can or launch them at a high speed. It’s not an easy weapon to use, as its recoil can destabilize Isaac if he’s in movement, and it has a very slow recharge, but it’s the heaviest damage dealer from the arsenal. Its firepower can make big explosions and great area damage. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Thunderjaw’s Tail: It is the second heaviest and slowest melee weapon Isaac has, but when used correctly, it can cause great damage to his targets, destroy some types of human constructions, stun machines, and even kill humans on the spot. Its shovel-like shape also allows Isaac to throw objects away (with very poor precision) or even yeet Aloy and Beta to help them reach places or to aid in some fight strategy.

Oseram's tank armor: Made of the best Oseram hard leather and steel, this armor greatly protects Isaac, making him much more resistant to various damage kinds. However, the materials weigh him and consequently slow him down, thus making him sink underwater, and he needs to use more energy for his leaps and high jumps. This armor is highly resistant to corrosion and fire damage but has some weak spots for ice and shock damage. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

Bellowback’ Snout: This weapon is an adapted version of the Bellowback’s ranged elemental weapon for Isaac. It gives him the ability to shoot fire or acid projectiles. It can also be used as a close-range defense weapon; hence, it can be used as a flamethrower or acid jet-like gun as well. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Stormbird’s Tail: Isaac can use this weapon like a Stormbird: an electric whip-like melee weapon, still keeping the shocking damage but in a much smaller range and potency. However, if not used cautiously, the whip can get stuck in places or be grabbed by bigger machines. This tail is also useful for Isaac to balance himself while climbing or walking in places such as metal columns in ruins. Isaac must have this tail equipped to be able to swim underwater correctly.

Carja’s speed armor: The sisters arranged the traditional Carja clothing adornments in a way that makes Isaac more aerodynamic, and the lightness of the materials also helps Isaac run faster, leap further, and jump higher than he normally could. Although pretty, the materials of this armor aren’t made for battle, leaving Isaac vulnerable to all kinds of damage - especially physical damage. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

Scorcher’s Mine Launcher: Aside from the normal mines a scorcher can use, this version of its weapon also has the option to use stick mines. Either version of ammos can be used on battle strategies of timed controlled explosions, as the mines won’t explode until they get hit. These mines have two versions: fire and electric explosions. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Frostclaw’s Front Paw: The closest Isaac will get to “grabby hands” so far. It’s the biggest physical damage dealer but the slowest melee weapon due to its heavy weight. Isaac can not just inflict heavy damage but also use the big hand to grab huge objects and machines way bigger than him. This weapon is so heavy that it may destabilize him during curves at high speed, compromise his balance while climbing, and increase the needed energy to sprint, jump, and leap.

Banuk Power Armor: The Sobecks learned with the Banuk crafting how to improve the energy flow and distribution on a machine. This armor increases Isaac's total stamina energy and reduces the needed charge to sprint, jump, or leap. The improved energy flow also helps increase the damage from Isaac’s melee and ranged weapons. However, the increase in the energy flow makes Isaac heat up way faster if not used correctly. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

Quirk: Cape

This mutant quirk spawns a cape-like hide (which is a lighter shade of the user's skin color) from the user's shoulders, which covers their back and reach down near the user's feet. The cape acts as a resistant yet tearable shield and a makeshift glider, which gives the user situational defense and mobility. The user can manipulate the cape like an extra limb if attached and change its width, reaching down towards the user's wrists and its length up to 6 ft extra, similar to Ojiro's tail and Shoji's Dupli-arms. They can also manipulate its durability by making it flexible or stiff, making it easy to tear off the cape for strategic purposes while also doubling as a shield strong enough to tank high-speed projectiles, which it will suffer dents and scars from. Its capabilities allow the user to fend off opponents with defensive strategy while using it as a makeshift weapon if need be. However, it also has weaknesses, such as being only limited to defense and mobility, not having the capability to nullify explosive forces and corrosive elements when hit as a shield, and causing painful reactions to the user when torn off since it is attached to their skin, similar to pulling out hair or scabs. Overall, it is a basic quirk that allows its user to defend themselves and become better at wielding cape through training.

I think that a lot of this could work, but it could use some changes. I may just make it a regular cloak they create from their back. I'm certain that running around in a skin cloak would be bad for optics. That aside, the biggest issue is with the balance. All the applications of the Quirk are fine and make sense, but the downsides are too much relative to the power that the Quirk offers. The user can feel pain through it, it's limited in application and range, and it's weak to certain kinds of attacks, and the numerous tactical issues with having a cape. These all work for this kind of power, but they don't all work together. I think it'd work better if you expanded on the applications some more or if you removed some of the downsides. Preferably a bit of both. I would remove the pain downsides, as that kind of defeats the purpose of using it as a shield. Having it be a more minor issue, like the cape getting caught or grabbed by people, would fit a lot better with everything else. Maybe you could expand the range of it, either through removing it or giving the user the ability to grow it out, or they have such fine control over it they can use it on reaction, improving on the traits you already mentioned. Maybe try taking ques from characters like Doctor Strange and Spawn with their own cloaks.

Subject Classification: M-08-035

Damage Type: Null ⚪️

Danger Level: HELFER 🔵

Anomaly Type: Mineral

Discovery Classification: Expedition (08)

Department: MOTHRA Storage Facilities

Lead Researcher: Dr. Ironclad

Identification: Titanic Metal

Containment: ANM-035 bars are stored in different warehouses of the MOTHRA Institution. The "containment" must have a temperature regulator where the ambient temperature must remain at 22°C, never exceeding 120°C. If this happens, the emergency alarm should be activated immediately.

Titanic metal bars can be used to build secure cells for complex anomalies, materials or weapons, protective gear, and other related uses advantageous to MOTHRA.

Description: As of the writing of this file, ANM-035 is a set of 800 bars of a type of metal nicknamed "Titanic Metal." While its original color was white, it was observed that the metal bars could change to blue over time, a process similar to copper, which also makes the ore even more resistant.

The ANM-035 bars are extremely durable, being 60 times stronger than common metal, 49 times more resistant than tungsten, and 20 times more resistant than graphene. Upon further analysis, a significant mix of graphene atoms and hexagonal boron nitride was detected in the metal.

Regarding its durability, some tests were conducted:

Over 100 strikes with a machete were made against the bar, resulting in no scratches.

Some shots were fired at the bar, but the test was quickly canceled when it was noticed that the bullets ricocheted back.

ANM-014 attempted to break the bar but, after several strikes, complained that his "hand hurt." (ANM-014 typically manages to break titanium bars in half.)

ANM-035 was dropped from an airplane at an altitude of 12,000 meters, and the bar suffered no damage, though the surrounding environment did sustain significant damage.

ANM-032 was set to try piercing the bar with its beak. The instance failed to do so.

Multiple RPG shots followed by explosions were tested, but the bar remained unaffected.

A tank rolled over the bar several times, but nothing happened to it.

Finally, it was discovered that if ANM-035 is exposed to a temperature above 70°C, the ore tends to melt into an extremely corrosive and radioactive liquid.

ANM-035 can be used to create more powerful tools, utensils, and weapons (only melee weapons). A shield made from ANM-035 was built and is completely bulletproof and resistant to various other blows or attacks. Additionally, armor was constructed, and together with the shield, they are capable of repelling numerous attacks, including pecks from ANM-032 or attacks from humanoid ANMs.

The bars typically measure 55cm in length and 25cm in height, weighing approximately 500kg. All were found in a military bunker dating back to World War II in the USA.

I made fanart for one of my favorite kids' books, "The Great Undersea Search" by Kate Needham. It was published back in 95 and it is just terrific.

(the shark, dive cage, and part of the background are clipped from the book)

☆-----☆-----☆

I love the retro late-20th century ocean exploration aesthetic.

Fishing nets and sample jars full of noxious preservatives and well-used knives and improvised tools

Cargo pants and swimtrunks and work shirts and stretched tank tops and flip flops and blown-out sneakers and sweaty, salt-encrusted trucker and bucket hats and the worst tanlines you've ever seen. The kind of stuff "Wandering Island" characters can be seen wearing.

Bathyscaphes and DSVs and bubble windows and ROV arms

yellow and white and blue and red and green and black and exposed corrosion-resistant metals and the rust that gathers on them anyways

Stuff like this book and the old Lego diver sets from the 90s and the little VHS clips of Jacques Costeau they showed in your classroom, too.

I can see myself on a scientific expedition in the open ocean, eating simple shipboard meals of rice and fish and whatever fruit and vegetables we can scrounge. A worn P38 can opener and a dogeared copy of "Log from the Sea of Cortez" are my constant companions. My cargo pants become increasingly bedraggled and cuffed, and my t-shirts are covered in odd stains. We bring up lanternsharks and daggertooths in the nets. This one has only been recorded once by a Russian scientist almost 25 years ago, but he was wrong about certain elements of its anatomy. Eat your heart out, Dolganov. The non-scientific crew do not understand our hesitancy to trawl the seafloor.

Common Problems Solved by Emulsion Breakers in Crude Oil Processing

Crude oil processing is a complex and challenging task, fraught with numerous obstacles that can hinder efficiency and productivity.  One of the most persistent issues faced by the oil industry is the formation of emulsions.  Emulsions, which are mixtures of water and crude oil, can cause significant operational problems.  This is where emulsion breakers come into play.  These specialized chemicals are designed to separate emulsions into their constituent parts, allowing for smoother and more efficient processing.

Imperial Oilfield Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., a leading emulsion breaker manufacturer in Vadodara, has been at the forefront of providing solutions to these common problems.  As a prominent emulsion breaker manufacturer in India and an oil chemical exporter in Vadodara, the company has extensive expertise in addressing the challenges posed by emulsions in crude oil processing.

Understanding Emulsions in Crude Oil

Emulsions in crude oil are formed when water droplets are finely dispersed within the oil.  These emulsions can be stable or unstable, with stable emulsions being particularly problematic due to their persistence and resistance to separation.  Factors such as the presence of natural surfactants, mechanical agitation during extraction, and the composition of the crude oil itself contribute to the formation and stability of these emulsions.

Common Problems Caused by Emulsions

1.   Reduced Oil Quality

Emulsions can significantly degrade the quality of crude oil.  The presence of water in the oil reduces its purity, which in turn affects the value and marketability of the final product.  High water content in crude oil can also lead to increased corrosion in pipelines and storage tanks, further compromising the quality and integrity of the oil.

2.   Increased Processing Costs

The presence of emulsions complicates the refining process, leading to higher operational costs.  Additional treatments and processing steps are required to separate the water from the oil, consuming more energy and resources.  This not only increases the cost of production but also reduces overall efficiency.

3.   Equipment Corrosion and Damage

Water and other contaminants in emulsions can cause significant corrosion and damage to processing equipment.  This leads to increased maintenance costs and downtime, negatively impacting productivity.  Over time, the wear and tear on equipment can result in the need for costly replacements and repairs.

4.   Environmental and Regulatory Concerns

Improper handling of emulsions can lead to environmental contamination and regulatory non-compliance.  Discharging emulsified water into the environment can cause pollution and harm to aquatic ecosystems.  Regulatory bodies impose strict guidelines on the disposal of emulsified water, and failure to comply can result in hefty fines and legal repercussions.

Combating Marine Corrosion

Combating Marine Corrosion

A distinguishing feature of the marine environment is the universally present high salt content in the air and seawater which acts as a catalyst for the corrosion of offshore structures, such as offshore oil rigs, Intake Pump Houses in Thermal Power Plants Handling Sea Water. Corrosion damage in these environments is also influenced by the presence of other chemicals and various pollutants in the seawater, air and ports and many other areas. The corrosive forces inherent in marine environments pose significant threats to the integrity and longevity of metal structures. In this technical blog, we explore the complexities of corrosion, its detrimental effects, and the imperative role of corrosion protection strategies using Kirloskar Corrocoat in safeguarding marine assets.

Understanding Corrosion:

corrosion refers to the natural process of deterioration that occurs when metallic structures, components, or equipment are exposed to the harsh conditions prevalent in marine environments. This deterioration is primarily driven by electrochemical reactions between the metal and its surroundings, which typically consist of high levels of salt, moisture, and other corrosive agents present in seawater and marine atmospheres.

The Significance of Corrosion Protection in the Marine Industry:

The harsh conditions prevalent in marine environments make ships and metallic infrastructure susceptible to corrosion. Left unchecked, corrosion can compromise the structural integrity of vessels and structures, posing safety hazards and necessitating costly repairs. Mild steel, commonly used in marine construction for its affordability and strength, is particularly prone to corrosion, making corrosion protection imperative for the longevity of marine assets.

Protective Measures:

Manufacturers and operators within the industry take various precautions to protect their assets such as vessels and offshore structures from corroding. We will explore some of the standard methods utilised to protect metallic structures in the marine environment.

1) Design

Ship and infrastructure designers and operators make an effort to reduce corrosion and keep them secure, which aids in extending the lifespan of the structure or vessel. A few design features can assist in reducing the rate of corrosion and in turn reducing the required maintenance costs, including:

The placement of drains aids in the draining of water from decks, wells and low-lying areas. This eliminates a direct cause of corrosive activity.

In an effort to reduce galvanic corrosion, insulation is set up in areas where different metals are placed close to one another. Impressed current systems that monitor corrosive cell activity and apply currents to protective anodes can be installed to detect and manage corrosion.

Insulation is required in locations where temperature shifts, stopping thermal fatigue.

However, Design changes alone are often unreliable in fully protecting marine equipment from corrosion. While they may address specific vulnerabilities, they may not comprehensively account for the dynamic and multifaceted nature of marine environments. Maintenance challenges, cost considerations, and long-term effectiveness further contribute to their limitations. A holistic approach, combining design improvements with other corrosion mitigation strategies such as Glass flake Coatings and rigorous Maintenance, is essential for effective corrosion management in the marine industry.

2) Glass flake Coatings

Glass flake coating is widely regarded as the optimal solution for corrosion prevention in the marine industry due to its following outstanding properties.

Exceptional Barrier Protection:

Glass flake coatings are highly regarded for their ability to create a dense barrier, effectively shielding metal surfaces from corrosive elements such as saltwater and moisture.

Mechanical Strength:

These coatings exhibit exceptional mechanical strength, providing robust protection against abrasion, impact, and wear in the harsh marine environment.

Chemical Resistance:

Glass flake coatings demonstrate high resistance to a wide range of chemicals commonly found in marine environments, ensuring long-term durability. They effectively cover a wide pH range, from 1 to 14, making them suitable for various applications.

Strong Adhesion Properties:

With strong adhesion to metal substrates, glass flake coatings ensure the longevity and integrity of the coating system, even in challenging conditions.

Cost-effective Solution:

Glass flake coatings offer long-lasting corrosion protection with minimal maintenance requirements, providing a cost-effective solution for preserving marine assets.

Flexibility and Versatility:

Their flexibility allows for seamless coverage of complex marine equipment and structures, making them suitable for various applications.

A specially designed non-toxic, anti-fouling coating, called “Corrocoat Biofoul” forms a durable barrier that inhibits the attachment and growth of algae, barnacles, and other fouling organisms. By minimizing biofouling, this innovative coating helps maintain the efficiency and performance of marine equipment and structures, extending the service life of assets. 

Kirloskar Corrocoat and Corrosion Management:

Kirloskar Corrocoat has developed product lines that ensure they offer superior corrosion resistance for equipment and infrastructure surfaces exposed to harsh marine environments. With the right protective coating, seawater is not aggressive – our coatings withstand long-term exposure to high levels of salt for extended periods.
