Cortec Middle East's Paper Featured in June Issue of Materials Performance!

Cortec Middle East’s Paper Featured in June Issue of Materials Performance!

Cortec’s CORROSION 2014 paper no. 4200, “Protection of Offshore Platform Caisson Legs with a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor—A Case Study” by Cortec® Middle East’s Usama Jacir, Talal A. Rahman Al-Sayed, Ahmed Fathi Eid, and Mahdi Mohamed Al-Marzooqi, is featured in the “Caisson Legs on Offshore Platform Protected with a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor” article of the June 2015 Issue of Materials Performance.

This technical paper discusses a pilot study conducted by Cortec® to evaluate the use of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) to protect the integrity of offshore platform caisson legs. The uncoated interiors of the caisson legs on a particular platform contained blasting grit, biocide-treated water, and suspended sacrificial anodes. After two decades of operation, a build-up of hydrogen gas generated by the depleted anodes inside a caisson leg led to an explosion. By spraying the internal diameter of the leg with a water-based solution containing a VCI with a biocide treatment, fogging the internal space with an amine carboxylate VCI, and hanging a string of pouches containing VCI powder to saturate the space, Cortec® provided corrosion protection that lasted beyond a year. These positive results lead to the adoption of this corrosion protection system.
