Cost Impact of Corrosion

• NACE study mandated by US Congress

estimates cost impact of corrosion to be 670
Billion USD Annually.
• Oil & Gas Industry (as per NACE) estimates
asset risk from corrosion to be 10% of asset
value.
• Study by Kuwait Research Institute for GCC

Transit preservation of Pressurized
Water Reactor
Project: Sequoyah Nuclear
Power Plant
Client: TVA
Contractor: Westinghouse
Fabricator: Doosan HI

Project Details:
4 replacement Steam Generators were
fabricated and protected.
Units were cleaned with 10% VpCI®414,
dried, filled with VpCI®609, double

Preservation of Tube Bundles
and Rotors

Client: GASCO

Application:
Bundles were removed from canisters,
hydrojetted with VpCI 370, sprayed with
VpCI337, Shrink-wrapped with Milcor.

Rotors were preserved by introducing

pouches and emitters into the canister

Advantages
▪ Eliminates Dehumidification
▪ No dew point issues
▪ No inspection costs
▪ Long term protection
Preservation of GTL Modules

Client: Escravos, Nigeria

Contractor: KBR
Fabricator: Gulf Piping Co.

Project Details:
Preservation of 27 GTL modules (piping,
vessels, reactor drums, etc…) using
VpCI-337 for 2 yrs
Hydrotesting with Seawater

Client: Takreer
Contractor:: Beleli

Problem:
11 storage tanks with 2.7 million gallons
to 11.9 million gallon capacity needed
an environmentally friendly solution for
corrosion protection of the internal
carbon steel surfaces during hydro
testing using seawater.
Solution:
M-645 Float Coat and S-7 Oxygen
Scavenger were added to the sea-water
& pumped into the tank. Length of
hydro test varied from 35 to 45 days
