Corrosion Monitoring and Detection Techniques in Petrochemical Refineries

Abstract

Corrosion is defined as an attack on a material as a result of chemical, frequently electrochemical reaction, with the surrounding medium. Corrosion monitoring and detection provides comprising monitoring and detecting of all critical components of petrochemical refineries objects, assets, facilities and plants for signs of corrosion. Monitoring and detection of corrosion is useful for plant engineers and maintenance personals to replace the corroded parts of pipeline in petrochemical industries only after when damage has occurred. On basis of recorded data, observer can predict at how much rate the corrosion should occur. This paper provides information about different types of corrosion and detection methods. Common methods used for corrosion monitoring and detection are destructive and non–destructive. In non-destructive method ultrasonic guided wave, radiographic and electromagnetic and in destructive methods corrosion coupons, electrical resistance and linear polarization resistance are included.
