Corrosion risk planning - 2 - Above ground storage tanks - oil and gas- PART 1

Above ground storage tanks 1. Inner walls Coating degradation Corrosion due to water/dissolved oxygen insufficient/damaged cathodic protection system dissolved sacrificial anodes 2. Outer walls/roof Atmospheric corrosion coating degradation due to moisture + UV radiation + temperature Erosion and wear due to wind and dust particles biological growth at the bottom areas near soil soil corrosion near the bottom 3. Pipes Atmospheric corrosion Coating degradation mechanical failure internal corrosion due to water/dissolved oxygen crevice corrosion in areas facing away from atmosphere corrosion at welds and joints microbial corrosion at 6 o' clock positions erosion corrosion at bends 4. Railing Coating degradation Wrong coating selection based on pure aesthetics coating damage at joints and bends corrosion at welds in the railing crevice corrosion at fixtures pitting corrosion 5. Breather valve uniform corrosion/pitting depending on whether it is made up of carbon steel/stainless steel...

3 steps to begin experiments...aka...I am lost in this lab!

All the students in the first few days of research are faced with the dilemma of the right time and way to begin experimentation. There are as many ways and thought processes to do so as there are people. I will share my learnings here. The problem is that the literature review tends to become so vast that it is difficult to decide what the exact problem is. 1. The best way is to NOT WAIT for the literature review to get over. Begin with the experiments simultaneously. Gain experience on as many new techniques as possible. 2. Start with that research paper which will most likely form the basis of your work. Attempt to reproduce the experiments in the paper. Try to see what other experiments can corroborate those results. 3. Select the correct research papers to continue the literature review. P.S. All the experiments should have a reason for doing them. You should be able to answer the question 'Why should I do this experiment? What will I learn?'
