What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 1 - CONCEPT

Corrosion loop is used to simplify inspection procedures in refining processes.

Corrosion loop is defined as a group of components with common materials, processes, and operating parameters.

It is needed when the scenario has -

1. Complex process

2. Several variables such a materials of construction, process parameters, functions

3. Multiple damage mechanisms

Corrosion risk planning - 1 - Lead acid battery

Corrosion is a quality, environment, and safety issue. Hence, it has to come under the cope of integrated management system audits However at the moment, it is more or less considered a quality issue. As such, the general tendency is to solve corrosion issues as they come. Especially in new inventions, the foresight to look for potential corrosion risk gets lost in the attempt to focus and highlight the amazing qualities of the said inventions. Hence, I have initiated this series, where I will take a component and point out the potential corrosion and damage risk areas. Here goes the first one - lead acid battery cell. (Source:https://opentextbc.ca/chemistry/chapter/17-5-batteries-and-fuel-cells/) Protective casing - effect of temperature + electrolyte + contamination in electrolyte on the polymer crevice corrosion at fixtures mechanical damage during handling leading to voids for moisture ingress and oxygen/electrolyte leakage Positive terminal - corrosion of the mate...

Thesis flowchart...aka...How to decide what to write first in your thesis?

It was that moment in my thesis writing when I had received a terrible feedback and was asked to overhaul the entire document. It was time to take a break from the screen and go back to basics. I printed out my document and went home. Then I took a break that evening, because it is one of the most underrated but essential things to get everything into perspective. The next day I proceeded to lay out the pages of my thesis chapter-wise on the table. Then I took a blank paper and pad. I thought, "How will I explain my work to my family members in my native language?" So I decided to write down my work in my native language in the form of an algorithm and then rearrange my thesis. I answered the following questions to do so - What is the issue? Where is it encountered? Is it very common? What makes it so very important? What are the steps that people have already taken to solve it? Why have they not been that effective? What is it that I did to solve the issue? How did I do it? ...

Cathodic protection snapshot

Name of technique Cathodic protection Use Prevent corrosion Complement protection given by coatings Definition A technique where an ionic current towards the structure from the electrolyte is used to counter the corrosion current flowing out of the structure. CP criteria CP potential of -850 mV vs. CSE An instant off potential of at least -850 mV vs CSE A minimum 100 mV polarization post instant off CP measurement techniques Soil resistivity CIPS DCVG Line current Factors affecting CP requirements pH velocity ionic type ionic concentration temperature Issues with CP Stray current corrosion Insufficient CP potential Insufficient CP current Electrical shorting I will discuss all these with examples in this major course, where you can prepare for the basics for your certification course!
