The importance of exotic alloys in the chemical industry: An interview with Tom Sandbrook,...
The world of chemicals is a vast one, with each chemical combination triggering unique reactions. For Tom Sandbrook, an Engineering Fellow, knowing how each chemical will react to certain metals is crucial in order to avoid both minor, and fatal accidents. By Catarina Muia and Angelica Pajkovic
An end-user’s perspective on cathodic protection design challenges on onshore pipelines: Part two of...
The objective of cathodic protection (CP) designing is to obtain pipe-to-soil potential along the entire length of a pipeline. While CP designing may look simple, it becomes complicated due to unusual challenges. Some of these challenges include different geographical conditions, existing pipelines in common corridors, etc. By Qurban A. Lashari, Corrosion/Cathodic Protection Engineer, and Muhammad A. Sherwani, Corrosion Engineer, Saudi Aramco
