PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

represents well over 2,000 members (Australia & New Zealand) and is the figurehead of The ACA for many partners across the corrosion world of industry.

(September) and I will be handing over the presidency to Mohammad Ali. My term as President is cut short slightly as the 2014 ACA conference is brought forward due to the approaching wet season in Darwin.

The conference is usually held during November each year.

Since my last message I have attended The ACA Seminar Series in New Zealand, Hobart, Darwin and Perth.

The road shows were well managed from our Melbourne team and I received good queries and feedback from members with regards to the ACA. Also they provided me with more opportunities to meet members. I also attended the Hobart road show and that was a real success and boost for my local Branch.

During my term I have seen many positive changes that have improved the way The ACA goes about its operations. To name just a few they are; 1. 2012 and 2013 audited accounts which have lead to real transparency of our finances

The next few months are looking busy as the lead up to the Darwin conference is approaching. All exhibition spaces are booked, there are over 90 technical papers and with Darwin offering a relaxed and warm environment, I encourage as many members as possible to register and attend the conference.

2. Governance Review Committee completing a review of the governance operations of the Association which has lead to a revision of our Constitution and Bylaws for member voting in September

Andrew Hargrave President

Welcome to all ACA members including our national and international partners to this edition of Corrosion & Materials.

Sadly this will be my final President's message for 2014 as the Darwin conference is drawing closer

I would like to welcome Mohammad Ali in becoming the 2015 ACA President. He will be stepping into a more effective Association with a clearer and positive path for the future.

Thank you.

Andrew Hargrave ACA President 2014

EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE

ACA Constitution Reform – Make your vote count members which led to a set of specific recommendations for changes that will underpin a modern governance structure of the Association.

A revised Constitution and Bylaws to take the Association forward have been drafted and members are encouraged to vote on the new Constitution and Bylaws at the forthcoming General Meeting of the Members to be held in Darwin on Tuesday 23rd September 2014.

Wesley Fawaz Executive Officer

Members will probably be aware that The Australasian Corrosion Association Inc (ACA) has been reviewing its governance structures and processes.

We have been served well by our Constitution over the years. However, the review that we commissioned from a governance consultant identified that there was a need for a modernisation of ACA’s Constitution to better reflect best practice in good governance.

It is important that the Association positions itself for the future and has a structure that best serves its members for the next decade and beyond.

Throughout this year, consultation has been undertaken with our

A vote of ‘Yes’ to the proposed Constitution and Bylaws will ensure that ACA continues to evolve as an Association that has best practice governance, which will underpin how we serve the interests of our members and the corrosion mitigation industry.

Members have been provided the proposed Constitution and Bylaws which are available to read and consider on the ACA website homepage. A cover note from the ACA President along with the revised Constitution and Bylaws, the full list of Frequently Asked Questions and Proxy Form to vote on the Constitutional change can be found at www.corrosion.com.au.

These documents are also supported by

a Frequently Asked Questions document (selection of FAQ’s on the next page).

Members have also been provided a Proxy Form (also on the ACA website homepage) to ensure they exercise their vote, even if they are not able to attend the Meeting in Darwin.

In completing and returning the proxy form by no later than 48 hours before commencement of the Meeting in Darwin (that is by 12pm AEST on Sunday 21st September 2014), you can nominate the Chair of the Meeting or alternatively a specific person who you know will be attending the Meeting in Darwin.

The proxy form allows you to direct your proxy vote in a specific way – for the motion to adopt the new Constitution and Bylaws or against.

I urge you all to vote in favour of the resolution.

Under the current Constitution, a 75% majority of those voting is required to pass the resolution.

Wesley Fawaz Executive Officer wesley.fawaz@corrosion.com.au.

CONSTITUTION REFORM FAQ'S

Constitution Reform Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why do we have to have a new Constitution and Bylaws?

A: The present Constitution has been developed piecemeal over a number of years, and its provisions are not in fact being followed in ACA’s current operations, nor does it comply in every respect with the South Australian Associations Incorporation Act 1985 under which ACA is registered.

Q: What are the principal changes?

A: Because there have been so few for so long, there are many changes. The 3 biggest changes are: urrently the Council is the ultimate C governing body, with representatives from each Branch and additional persons as defined in the Constitution so that its size exceeds 20 people, which meets only once per year. It is intended that a smaller Board whose members will all be required to act in the interests of all members will be elected as the ultimate governing body. This Board will meet at least 4 times per year. The present Constitution means that if something goes wrong, every Council member is potentially liable. The new Constitution will reduce this liability spread to the Board members. o ensure that the Board can contain T all the necessary skills, the elected Board members will be empowered to appoint up to two non-members as further Board members. o comply with the Act, the AGM T of the Association will not be able to be held in conjunction with the Annual Conference, unless the Annual Conference is moved to April-May or the balance date is moved from 31 December. (The Association has contravened this requirement for many years.) It is not proposed to change the balance date, so robust clauses are proposed in the Constitution about notice of meeting to be given to all members, and the capacity for proxy voting.

But many things remain unchanged.

There is no change to the purposes and objects of the Association, nor to membership structure.

Q: What are the consequences for the Branch structure?

A: Very little. Anachronisms such as Branches being required to keep registers of their members, and requiring all payments to be made by cheque and receipted, have been excised. The scope for Branch Committees to operate as they see fit has been enhanced by moving many of the provisions from the Constitution (which in law must be obeyed by all Branches) to the Bylaws (which can be changed as required by the Board to suit circumstances). The Branches will still make nominations in the same way as before to the Council, which will then elect the Board. The Branches are the key platform by which ACA activities are promoted month by month across Australasia, and the changes should be designed to assist this, not restrain it.

Q: How will the Board be elected?

A: The Council will elect the Board.

We want the best people we can get on the Board, and the Council will be required to take heed of a skills matrix of necessary capabilities to be shared between Board members.

All members will be able to nominate/ second nominations for the Board.

The Council in turn will be made up of nominees from each Branch, so that the membership has an indirect hand in the election process. There are limits on how many Board members can come from any Branch. In this way, we avoid the ability for big Branches to arrange bloc voting to take over small Branches.

Q: Why do we need this new Board structure?

on merit, rather than geographical location, with the very best possible skill mix to drive a strategic board. Some of the recognised risks associated with the current structure which are minimised or removed in the new structure include: ranches being unable to find a suitable B person to serve on the Board.

S uggestions that Board members should represent the interests of their state or territory at Board level rather than the interests of all members (as they are required to do under Corporate Law).

Q: Hasn’t the role of President been downgraded?

A: The role description has certainly been changed, most notably in that the President will not be a member of the Board. But the President will still lead and chair the Council, which will have power to elect the Board members, and to advise the Board on matters of importance to the membership. The President will also play a key figurehead role at the Annual Conference dinner.

Q: Are there any changes that affect rights and responsibilities of current members?

A: No, though some rights which (in contravention of the Act) were not spelt out in the current Constitution, such as the ability for a group of members to require a General Meeting to be called and a method for disputes resolution, are now spelt out.

Q: Who should I contact if there is no longer a Board Member living in my Branch?

A: The Board represents all members and as such you may contact any Board member or you may contact staff in the ACA Office. They will ensure that your query is directed to the right place.

Advice provided by experts in governance suggests that best practice in this area, is for a skills-based board who are elected

New Centre to capture emerging research area The new Australian Centre for Infrastructure Durability (ACID) will provide Australian industry with a national platform to connect with researchers in corrosion engineering and materials durability. Although the exact composition of the centre is yet to be announced, it will involve a number of leading universities and industrial partners.

The centre, which will be officially launched in September 2014, will conduct research to address short and long-term corrosion problems confronting many industries in Australia. It will connect leading researchers with industry partners to explore new solutions and develop technology to benefit, support and grow local industry.

As a national centre encompassing several universities and organisations, ACID aims to deliver nationwide benefits by conducting research in five key strategic industries: Oil, gas and offshore Mining Transport, structures and buildings Defence and aerospace

NACE International Training Centre – Dubai A new training facility offers courses and certifications to meet demand in Middle East NACE International, The Corrosion Society, has announced the opening of its new NACE International Training Centre Dubai. Located in the Dubai International Academic City (DIAC), the facility will serve more than 1,000 students and professionals annually by providing training for individuals entering or advancing their career in the fast-growing field of corrosion control.

NACE International’s Dubai facility will serve as the hub for the organization’s education programs in the Middle East and surrounding regions. “We decided

NACE International offers the world’s most specified technical training, education, and certifications to build the workforce needed to fight the pervasive global threat of corrosion.

to open a new training center in Dubai because there is tremendous demand for corrosion control professionals in the Middle East,” said NACE Chief Operating Officer, Matt Miller.

“Traveling to the U.S. and other parts of the world for NACE training was inconvenient for many people in the region, so we came to them.”

More than 15,000 students receive corrosion control education and training annually from NACE International. The Dubai training facility is modeled after NACE International’s successful training center in Houston, Texas. Located 25 kilometers from the Dubai International Airport, the DIAC campus is conveniently accessible to those coming to the region from Asia, Africa and Europe.

New infrastructure development and aging infrastructure worldwide has increased the demand for qualified, trained corrosion professionals.

Corrosion costs most nations 3-7% of GDP annually and it is estimated that as much as one-third of that cost is preventable with the application of existing corrosion control technologies.

Expressions of interest sought – coating inspectors Since its establishment in 1985, Corrotek has developed a reputation as a competent and ethical specialist protective coating consultancy.

Recently, we’ve added a comprehensive analytical capability through our involvement with Maatek Pty Ltd. To serve existing clients, we intend to increase our coating inspection and corrosion survey capability across Australia and wish to speak to experienced and certified ACA, NACE, FROSIO or SSPC coating inspectors and ACA certified Corrosion Technicians or Technologists about potential collaboration opportunities.

Harnessing the power of the sun to make anodes Cathodic Anodes Australasia is proud to announce the commissioning of their new Solar Power System at their Anode Manufacturing Plant at Kunda Park in Queensland.

CAA General Manager Ross Gorfine comments, “This is great news for us, we have been working towards this for the last few years. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, reducing our carbon footprint and decreasing our overall impact on the environment were key factors in our decision to go solar. In terms of cost, we did the maths and the economic benefits quickly became evident.”

clean solar energy. It is good to know that a large proportion of our anodes will be manufactured using the power of the sun.”

“In terms of monitoring, the technology is quite amazing, it links straight into our online energy efficiency monitoring system, so we can review our energy inputs and outputs in real time. We would really like to thank Australian

Enviro Projects, who designed, supplied and installed the system. They did a great job.”

“Energy consumption has been a major hurdle for us, we have spent a lot of time and money improving the efficiency of our key equipment. To have a state-of-the-art solar system as well is going to be an enormous benefit.”

“Some people say it is a progressive move, we saw it as an opportunity to do the right thing and it also makes good economic sense.”

“As far as we know, we are the only Anode Manufacturing foundry in the southern hemisphere utilising

New coating for sprinklers Mechanical pipe joining systems specialist Victaulic has introduced a new sprinkler coating formulated to deliver excellent resistance to corrosion.

Victaulic’s VC-250 is an alternative coating that ensures the continued performance of Victaulic FireLock sprinklers in a wide range of corrosive environments.

The corrosion-resistant coating protects FireLock sprinklers from physical changes when exposed to extreme weather or areas that may be specified

p.12 CORROSION & MATERIALS

as chemical environments. The coating covers the sprinkler frame in a uniform thickness, reducing the equipment’s vulnerability to corrosion, while maintaining full functionality.

Sprinklers with the optional VC-250 coating are recommended for use in water treatment, food manufacturing, ethanol production, and pickling stainless steel lines amongst various industrial applications.

The VC-250 is both UL and FM approved as a corrosion resistant coating.

Vale Enrico Piccioli 1948–2014 The hugely admired and charismatic innovator, engineering process pioneer, and respected business leader left us at the age of 65.

His impact in the fields of reinforced plastic composites and corrosion protection has been profound, and his reputation has become legendary.

Starting from the year 1973, when as a young 25 year old Doctor of Civil Engineering, he arrived from Italy, sponsored by the late, great Carlo Salteri AC to work for Transfield and to develop that company as the industry leader in reinforced composites and corrosion protection.

The introduction of these materials and processes required both qualification and acceptance, and Enrico was instrumental in developing Australian Standard 2634 for FRP process equipment and was a working member of the Standards Association

of Australia (SAA) for the next 10 years to 1984, during which time he wore the epithet, ‘Father of the Reinforced Plastics Industry’, with great honour, pride and distinction.

In 1997 he resigned from Transfield after a stellar career which took him all over the world establishing that company's successful brand.

It was at this time that he founded his own company, EPTEC, and by selecting and attracting to it, outstanding and gifted personnel, and always, with the vision for the future a priority, he had, by example, entrepreneurship and diligence, inspired his succession to establish Version all of5 the necessary discipline and character to ensure its future.

Eurostile Bold Eurostile Regular

EPTEC is now a leading company in the engineering sector in Australia.

It is synonomous with signature corrosion protection and waterproofing projects such as the ANZAC Frigates, the NZDF Project PROTECTOR, on-going maintenance projects for the Australian Navy, contractor of choice for visiting United States Navy

ships, critical waterproofing services provider to the Burnley and Domain tunnels on the Melbourne CityLink, specialist waterproofing services on the Taiwan Republic of China High Speed Rail Project, and many other significant Defence, Civil and Marine infrastructure projects for Federal and State instrumentalities in Australia.

All of Enrico's life was writ large, an immense canvas, which had at its heart, his beloved family, his business and the industries he serviced.

His presence was massive, and for what he accomplished, and for what he has left, we are in awe.

Enrico Evaristo Vito Maria Piccioli passed away on the 9 May 2014 in his 65th year and is survived by his adored Version 5 wife Terri and their beloved daughters, Eurostile Bold Cristina Eurostile Regular and Barbara.

As the camera moves, it provides a real-time image of the environment until it reaches the target area. The technician operating the videoscope can adjust the focus and move the camera as needed to examine different features of interest.

A videoscope allows an engineer or technician to view the components of a machine in situ or see inside confined spaces. Maintenance staff can also use videoscopes to inspect the insides of pipework and valves to ensure that there are no contaminant deposits or that the weld of a joint has gone all the way through the steel of the joints in the tubes of support frameworks of drill heads.

BRANCH & YCG EVENTS

ACA YCG SA Branch Korvest Galvanisers Site Visit 27 April 2014 The first ACA YCG SA Branch event of the year met with great success.

Proudly supported by Korvest Galvanisers and the Galvanizing Association of Australia (GAA).

Ann Sheehan from the GAA kicked off with a presentation about the history and the ins and outs of hot dip galvanizing. GAA is an industry Association established in 1963 to represent galvanizing companies and to provide technical consulting services on a not-for-profit basis.

Peter Freeth of Korvest then led us into the workshop. Korvest operate two kettles in South Australia: A state-of-theart ceramic kettle for high temperature spin galvanizing of small products, and a large hot dip galvanizing bath allowing single dipping of structural members to 13.5m in length. During the visit several items were treated demonstrating how fast the process can take place.

The evening ended with a light supper kindly organised by Korvest.

Cathodic Protection in Steel & Concrete Structures University of NSW Tuesday 17 June The first ACA NSW YCG event was a presentation on Cathodic Protection (CP) at the University of New South Wales UNSW and the attendance was strong! Kevin Woodland spoke first, discussing CP within concrete, along

p.22  CORROSION & MATERIALS

with a quick overview of CP theory and a few case studies. Brian Martin of Brian Martin & Associates spoke of CP in pipelines, particularly speaking of the various residual current effects that can be found in large scale infrastructure such as the effects of rail and traction tracks. Phil Bird of MCM and Mathew Cole of Original Welding then spoke

briefly about employment opportunities within the corrosion industry to the many students from UNSW who were in attendance at the event.

Thanks to UNSW and the NSW ACA Branch President Jianqiang Zhang offered vital support with the venue and light snacks for the event.

BRANCH & YCG EVENTS

ACA Trade Shows Adelaide Trade Show The South Australia Branch kicked off this year’s series of Corrosion Trade Shows on 26 June setting a high standard.

The demand from both businesses and visitors was high with 25 traders and over 130 visitors. Businesses represented included a cross section of asset owners, protective coating specialists, blasters, applicators, equipment specialists and more.

Great food, beverages and a door prize for a weekend getaway, plus footy tickets made this a great casual business networking opportunity and lots of fun.

The evening ended with a light supper kindly organised by Korvest.

Hobart Trade Show The Tasmania Branch hosted its first Trade Show on 2 July in Hobart.

Demand for trade tables was high with all spaces filled in less than 2 weeks! An additional trader was accommodated making for a packed outfit.

Visitors to the show came from both Hobart and Launceston with a huge number of unexpected but very welcome guests arriving as a result of the mysterious ‘country telegraph’ that works so well in the Tasmanian business community.

As a result, numbers surged from 55 to a peak of 85 within an hour! Good food and plenty of beer contributed to a relaxed atmosphere in which traders strengthened existing relationships, made new ones and gained exposure for their brands.

Melbourne Trade Show The Victoria Branch capped off the hattrick of Corrosion Trade Shows in what has proved to be a winning format.

This 3rd and final show for 2014 was a monster event with over 165 registrations! Melbourne’s cold and wet welcome did not seem to deter the demand.

Traders informed their clients of the show generating a fresh inflow of

potential clients and customers well beyond the ACA’s database of contacts.

In what is now a Trade Show tradition there was a lucky winner for the door prize and for the brightest shirt.

The combination of corrosion and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere made the night a productive one for business and friendships.

PROUDLY PRESENTED BY:

Concrete Performance for Coastal Assets

SPONSORED BY:

The Concrete Structures & Buildings Technical Group of the ACA held a technical event on Thursday 12 June at the Marriott Hotel in Melbourne.

This full day technical event had over 85 delegates from a broad cross section of the industry from around Australia in attendance. This event focused on real life case studies, exploring both successes and failures. The presenters shared their experience and the lessons they have learnt. Presenters from each of the following industry groups presented case studies on new and existing projects; Asset Owners, Researchers, Consultants, Contractors & Suppliers.

At the conclusion of the event an open floor forum was held and chaired

by Warren Green, which provided much discussion on the issues within the industry.

The ACA would like to thank all speakers, sponsors and delegates who attended this event and for making the day a huge success!

Below is an overview and summary of the presentations: Whole of Life Asset Management for Concrete Structures in the Local Ports of Port Phillip and Western Port Ledene Ellis, Parks Victoria Maritime infrastructure managed by Parks Victoria includes 12 sites that have components of the structure constructed in concrete. These concrete structures have a design life on average of 50 years. A number of these assets are now approaching the end of their useful design life, as of a similar age

p.24  CORROSION & MATERIALS

and previously constructed by the Port of Melbourne Authority adopting varying designs.

With maritime structures exposed to extreme environmental conditions, weathering, storms and damage from vessel impact, Parks Victoria monitor this infrastructure technically via a number of methods in order to determine; the current structural condition, the estimated residual design life, the current vehicular and berthing load capacity rating (as to be adopted, based on structural condition) and the minor and major works required (both short and long-term). This information assists Parks Victoria in managing risk proactively, seeking investment for the infrastructure and programming recurrent and capital works to ensure asset serviceability and public safety.

Corrosion Risk at Cracks in Marine Concrete Structures Dr Chris Weale, GHD Chris reviewed the cause of early age cracking in concrete and provide examples of the occurrence of such cracks in marine projects, the significance of the cracks and if remedial works were required or not.

Ageing Coastal Assets: Balancing Durability Performance with the needs of Strength, Functionality, Sustainability, and Economy Frank Collins, Monash University Coastal assets vary significantly in type and form; however they have one common trait: vulnerability to

deterioration due to exposure to the marine environment. Reinforcement corrosion in the marine environment can be exacerbated by significant dynamic and static loadings, including wave actions, tides, berthing loads, scour, and heavy vehicle/craneage loadings. Design life requirements vary significantly when comparing design codes and also the specifications for the construction of major coastal assets: under-design leading to potential deterioration where the strength and/ or functionality are compromised during the design life; whereas overdesign necessitating modifications and reconstruction of an otherwise durable asset due to changes in trade, port operation, changing technologies of shipping and materials handling.

Balancing durability with over-design (versus under-design) have major implications on the sustainability and economy of a coastal asset over the life cycle and these aspects were discussed.

Cathodic Protection - The Versatile Treatment for Corrosion in Marine Concrete Structures Alan Bird, Marine & Civil Maintenance Cathodic Protection (CP) has become standard practice in Australia over the last 25 years and is well established as a means of controlling corrosion in reinforced concrete in a marine environment. A wide range of CP systems and products have been developed for a variety of situations and conditions, and the technology is now used for all types of coastal structure, including wharves, jetties,

TECHNICAL EVENT REVIEW

bridges, seawalls and buildings. The presentation gives practical examples of these applications and indicates how different anode types are used in different environments or parts of the structure, often in combination with each other.

A Review on the Performance of Protective Coatings and Treatments for Coastal Assets Andrew Dickinson, Parchem Andrew provided a review of various case studies of coastal assets and reviewed the performance of the protective coatings and other corrosion preventative measures on them.

Performance of Epoxy Coating on Columns Exposed to Aggressive Tidal Marine Conditions & Use of Corrosion Sensors for Monitoring Performance Fred Andrews-Phaedonous, VicRoads This presentation reviewed and discussed the replacement bridge over the Mordialloc Creek on the Nepean Highway, at Mordialloc in the south east of Melbourne. It was constructed in 2008 as part of a multi-level protection approach incorporating high quality concrete and various other durability provisions. This presentation will discuss the effectiveness and performance of epoxy coating to enhance durability in an aggressive marine environment and also discuss the use of corrosion sensors for monitoring performance.

Case Studies of Concrete Performance of Wharves Frederic Blin, AECOM This presentation aimed to be the ground for an exchange of views and experiences in relation to the performance of wharves over time.

Through case studies the factors linked to the ability of these assets to provide their required levels of service up to and beyond their design life were discussed. These factors were related to key maritime codes and guidelines and their importance in the design of new assets.

The Challenges of Maintaining Structural Durability for Concrete in Marine Environments Mike Rutherford, Freyssinet The presentation covered the challenges imposed in maintaining good structural durability for concrete infrastructure located in marine environments where common deterioration mechanisms are present.

Marine environments are the ultimate test of concrete durability. From wharves and jetties to breakwaters and off-shore structures, concrete is the most common material for construction in the marine environment because of its versatility, strength and affordability. However, facility owners spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to repair deteriorating concrete infrastructure.

Case histories were presented relating to concrete remediation and protection projects within the marine environment engineered to meet The Challenges of Maintaining Structural Durability for Concrete in Marine Environments.

Efficiency of Hydrophobic Impregnation and Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors Pedram Mojarrad, Sika This presentation reviewed Hydrophobic Impregnation and Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors systems.

These systems have been studied as modern technologies in corrosion prevention of structures. The durability and efficiency of these systems have been investigated through an International research project, of which some invaluable outcomes have been recently released. This talk will share some of these outcomes. In addition to that, Low Cover Concrete were addressed as a regular issue on jobsites and an engineering solution were shared, using these systems.

Corrosion in the Mining Industry SPONSORED BY:

The Mining Industry Technical Group of the ACA held a technical event on Thursday 3 July at the Mercure Hotel in Perth.

This full day technical event had 40 delegates from a broad cross section of the industry from around Australia in attendance. The purpose of this event was to further investigate the effects of corrosion throughout the entire mining industry by bringing together a variety of stakeholders to share and talk about their experiences.

The ACA would like to thank all the speakers, sponsors and delegates who attended this event and for making the day a success.

Below is an overview and summary of the presentations: Corrosion Never Sleeps: Asset Management in the Gold Mining Sector Stephen Foley, Newmont Mining Corporation This presentation touched on the multifaceted challenges with asset management of various types of infrastructure across the gold mining sector and how corrosion influences

p.26 CORROSION & MATERIALS

the approach taken. Although individual operations can all too easily take on ‘silo’ mentalities, there are typically common issues where collaboration and knowledge sharing can realise substantial benefits. This is applicable to many aspects of operating a gold mine, and is especially relevant to corrosion related matters.

The presentation covered typical examples of corrosion related problems across gold mines within the Asia Pacific region, within process plant, underground operations and relating it to Asset Management (ISO55000), human factors and safety/production risks. Of key note, positives and suggested improvements that service providers/suppliers could provide were briefly discussed.

specific problems for corrosion control on steel and concrete structures. Both the selection of coating material and the control of surface preparation and application are critical to ensure long term protection for the asset. A range of coatings and linings are available that can provide protection against sulphuric acid and other mineral acids – the choice depends on an understanding of the exposure environment (concentration and temperature), the material of construction, and the life expectancy of the asset. This presentation explored the benefits and limitations of potential coating solutions, and outlined the considerations that lead to the selection of an appropriate protective coating system.

This presentation discussed a material approach towards the MIC problem in mining industry. It defined what is

TECHNICAL EVENT REVIEW

meant by MIC (emphasizing that it is a corrosion phenomenon and not a new type of corrosion process) and the source of wrong assumptions in both defining and recognition of a corrosion case as MIC. The presentation also mentioned the possible ways of treating MIC and introduced the concept of “Natural biocides” which are more environmental friendly and much less toxic than what is currently being prescribed in industry.

Corrosion Mitigation of Support Structures in the Mining Industry Prof Rolf Gubner, Curtain University This presentation discussed the corrosion environment in open pit and underground mining. ISO 9223:1992 Corrosion of metals & alloys - Corrosivity of atmospheres classification, has five levels: from very low to very high. When using published data on temperature, relative humidity, salt concentrations, etc., it becomes quickly clear that many mines have corrosion environments that are more severe than described in the ISO classification. Carbon steel and galvanized steel do not perform well under those condition with respect to corrosion durability, but are the most common materials used. This lecture also discussed how corrosion could be minimised by cost-effective means.

Corrosion Engineering Incorporating Composites:- An Unconventional Solution to Conventional Problems Dr Laurie Walker, Inovas His presentation examined the use of fibre composite based solutions in the manufacture, repair and protection of structural assets within the resources sector. The presentation looked at some current examples before delving into the benefits, challenges, risks and engineering considerations associated with the use of composite materials in corrosive environments.

Corrosion Management and Compliance with Health & Safety Legislation Oliver Gassior, Extrin Consultants This presentation discussed why we manage corrosion and why we need to comply with Health and Safety legislation. It discussed that, as with many management systems that are implemented, there are both direct and indirect costs which need to be borne by the organisation in question.

However, organisations must also recognise that the implementation of a Corrosion and Integrity Management system, that results in the reduction of corrosion related failures, will not only achieve Health and Safety compliance but will also have a direct effect on the assets overall economic performance

Corrosion Control Directory

which in turn will essentially ‘pay back’ the organisation in the future.

Reinforced Concrete: Waterproofing & Durability for the Mining Industry Anton Aldred, Cementaid This presentation reviewed and identified the Primary Water Transport mechanisms in concrete, as well as readily tested Standard properties for assessing penetrability performance. It also reviewed independent laboratory results from concretes modified with water-resisting admixtures, as well as long-term performance of structures in the field up to 42 years old. It also verified the concrete properties required to ensure design-life waterproof performance and durability, including under severe chloride / sulphate or acid exposure. Lastly, a review of time-proven Performancebased Specification successfully in use over 23 years for achieving designlife waterproof and corrosion-proof reinforced concrete structures in commercial, industrial civil and mining infrastructure projects.

Zinga www.zinga.com.au

Zinga is a unique liquid zinc galvanizing film for the recoating of weathered galvanized surfaces, abrasive blasted new steel or suitably prepared, previously painted steel.

Zinga can be rejuvenated in-field with minimal cleaning and surface preparation before recoating. The process can be repeated indefinitely. Service life is predictable on a similar basis to hot dipped galvanizing. It will depend on the coating thickness and the local zinc usage rate.

Zinga will not flake, blister or peel, plus the cathodic protection qualities prevent under-creep if the coating is damaged.

With Master Builders Solutions, BASF introduces a global brand of advanced chemical solutions for construction. The brand builds on the strengths of many existing BASF brands and products and represents our experience of more than 100 years in the construction industry.

The Master Builders Solutions brand brings all of BASF’s expertise together to create chemical solutions for new construction, maintenance, repair and renovation of structures. Master Builders Solutions is built on the experience gained from more than a century in the construction industry.

PROJECT PROFILE

Use of Non-intrusive Inspection in Onshore Gas Facilities: A Pilot Study In 2011, a pilot program of Non-intrusive Inspections was conducted, covering a total of eight vessels in the Moomba gas processing plant and in surrounding field areas.

Background The opportunity for Non-intrusive Inspection (NII) was brought about, at least in part, by the widespread implementation of Risk-based Inspection in Santos.

Previously major outages were driven by prescriptive requirements for internal inspections of pressure vessels every four years (for most vessels). After Risk-based Inspection was implemented, the internal inspection intervals were extended for many vessels, but there were a few remaining items still requiring internal inspection every four years. In particular, flare drums required shorter inspection intervals due to the greater variability in their service conditions and the modelled corrosion rates. Therefore the driver for Nonintrusive Inspection was to avoid costly plant shutdowns which were otherwise driven by a very few, or in some cases, a single vessel. This made Non-intrusive Inspection a cost effective option.

Non-intrusive Inspection The commonly accepted definition of Non-intrusive Inspection is an inspection to determine the internal condition of the equipment without having to open the equipment.

Location

Moomba Plant

Merrimelia satellite (field)

Della satellite (field)

In practical terms the process uses conventional Non-destructive Testing with a detailed and planned scope, aiming to achieve an understanding of the internal condition which is at least equivalent to an internal inspection.

The use of Non-intrusive Inspection is allowable within the applicable Australian/New Zealand Standard, which is AS/NZS 3788 – 2006, Pressure Equipment – In-service Inspection.

The decision was made early on to employ a specialist inspection provider, with experience in scoping and execution of Non-intrusive Inspection.

The inspections were carried out

by Sonomatic Limited, a pioneer of the technique in the North Sea, in partnership with Bureau Veritas.

In this pilot study, the main Nondestructive methods used were Ultrasonic Testing (UT), including ultrasonic corrosion mapping, Radiographic Testing (RT) and Time of Flight Diffraction Ultrasonics (TOFD). The Time of Flight technique was used to inspect for weld defects.

The actual techniques used and the coverage required, for each particular inspection, would be a function of the identified degradation mechanisms for that equipment.

n established Risk-based Inspection A programme, with well-understood corrosion rate models The dominance of CO2 corrosion as a degradation mechanism, where Nondestructive Testing methods are well established, with a high probability of detection of defects and underlying corrosion problems xisting corrosion models which E indicated that corrosion was either slow or not anticipated, and hence there was a high probability that inspection would serve to validate the predictions, rather than one which identified a need for remedial actions Vessel Selection Vessels were initially short listed on the basis of the next due inspection date. Due dates in the 2011-2015 date range were targeted. Eight vessels were selected, as shown in Table 1.

Removing confined space entry from field outage (improved safety)

Figure 1. Amine absorber, with scaffolding in place on lower strakes and dome to allow Non-intrusive Inspection.

Figure 2. Ultrasonic corrosion mapping on amine absorber, using rope access.

From the table, it can be seen that the judicious application of Non-intrusive Inspection can avoid or defer major outages which would otherwise have significant impacts on production. An important driver in the field areas is the issue of the safety of confined space inspections, as a confined space entry in a remote site requires additional rescue personnel on standby.

Planning for Non-intrusive Inspection The planning required for this type of inspection commenced well before the inspection date; the minimum practical planning time was about three months. Planning was in two stages: a desktop review and an onsite evaluation. The desktop review included a review of the inspection histories and the existing Risk-based Inspection model outputs.

The on-site evaluation was a job walk through. This included identifying the physical access, where scaffolding or rope access was required and where insulation needed to be removed. At the end of the on-site evaluation, a written inspection scope was produced

Figure 3. Inspection of gas plant flare drum.

which included a formal evaluation of whether Non-intrusive Inspection was feasible for the vessel.

Execution Advance preparations included scaffolding and the mobilising of equipment and technicians to site. A combination of rope and scaffold access was used, for the onsite inspections.

Scaffolds were completed at least two weeks prior to the start of works. Each of the specialist inspection technicians were paired with an onsite technician.

This not only leveraged the advanced Non-destructive Testing skills, but also expedited the start of the work by including personnel already familiar with the site. An additional Sonomatic technician was supplied to site for the purposes of data collation for forwarding to the engineering team. This allowed for timely review of the data collected by off site engineers, so that anomalies could be identified and additional testing expedited, while access was available and the equipment and technicians were still on site.

Figure 4. Weld inspection of gas plant flare drum, using Time of Flight Diffraction Ultrasonics.

Project Results In all cases the required inspection interval was achieved. As expected, no immediate concerns were noted from the inspections; this meant that no intrusive inspection activities were required before the next inspection. The total project cost was approximately $1.8 M (covering eight process gas vessels), or an average of $225 K per vessel. The estimated savings were $10 - 13M, over 5 years.

The savings were mostly attributed to delay of outages and in one case delaying a total plant outage. In terms of direct inspection costs, the Nonintrusive Inspection was about twice that of conventional intrusive visual inspection, for a simple vessel. For a reasonably large vessel, of simple construction (such as a flare drum), the duration of the work was about ten shifts (of ten hours each), for a team of two technicians.

• Synthesis of nano composite coatings using a novel sol-enhanced deposition technique, which combines sol-gel method and electrochemical deposition techniques. Coatings including Ni, Ni-P, Ni-B, Ni-Co, Au, Ag and Cu, reinforced with highly dispersive oxide nanoparticles (TiO2, ZrO2, Al2O3) have been developed successfully on substrates of carbon steel, Cu, stainless steels, Al and Mg for different applications.

The agglomeration of nano-particles is largely avoided; and significant improvement on the mechanical properties has been achieved. sing hot dipping method to produce U Zn-Al-Mg alloy coatings. It was

discovered that addition of active element Mg results in the formation of a passive layer on coating surface, which much improved corrosion resistance compared with Zn or ZnAl coatings. This new coating has potential applications in perforated plates in civil construction, automobile bodies, etc. sing ion co-discharging technique U to deposit Cu-Bi, Zn-Bi, and Ni- Bi composite coatings. A unique microstructural feature has been observed on the composite coatings due to the insolubility of Bi in the matrices of Cu, Zn or Ni. Optimization of deposition condition, mechanical property and electrochemical behavior of these coatings are the focus of current study on this topic.

Synthesis of nanostructured TiO2 film through anodisation of Ti metal or alloys. Ongoing research aims at tuning the surface wettability and optimises physical/photocatalytic reaction based on understanding the morphological evolution and formation mechanisms of anodic TiO2.

AA full range of surface wettability, the water contact angle from 2 to 172 degrees has been achieved by precisely tailoring the anodising surface morphology. Also a simple method has been developed to synthesise “black titania” – oxygen deficient TiO2-x, which shows ultra-high absorbance over the full region of solar light, and displayed high photocatalytic activity under visible light.

The University and Faculty have facilities for corrosion, oxidation and coating and thin film technologies, including electrochemical analyser, salt fog spray chamber, and various coating processing facilities. The group’s research is also supported by advanced materials/surface characterization and testing instruments, including Environmental SEM, XPS, EDS, XRD, XRF, AFM, HRTEM, Nanowea wear tester, Nano-indentor, DSC and TGA. A new Materials Innovation Center, combining composite coatings and other materials related research groups, will be opened soon in a new campus.

This will greatly enhance the ability and extent of materials science and corrosion research at UoA.

TECHNICAL NOTE

Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) – An effective NII Process Overview Internal Visual Inspection (IVI) has historically been used as the main method for determination of the condition of pressure equipment as part of the integrity management process.

IVI can however be a hazardous, time consuming and costly exercise. NonIntrusive Inspection (NII) is increasingly being considered as an alternative to the traditional IVI approach. The benefits of NII in comparison to IVI are significant and include the following. educed production losses associated R with shut-down. educed manpower requirements – R this can lead to reduced shut-down cost and S horter overall shut-down times since greater capacity is available for other tasks. emoval of hazards associated with R man entry of vessels. emoval of the need to clean R vessels internally.

It is widely recognised that NII is different in many respects to IVI hence

p.58 CORROSION & MATERIALS

a different approach to planning is needed. For example, while IVI has the capability to detect a range of different defect types without specific knowledge of what to expect, the capability of NII is very much technique driven.

Hence an up-front knowledge of what degradation may be present takes on added significance when planning an inspection by NII. This also means that successful NII is very much dependent on knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of available inspection techniques so that the most appropriate is selected. Definition of the inspection requirements is also linked closely to what defects are of concern and what represents a threat to integrity. In order to ensure effective NII, a multidisciplinary approach is required that combines skills and knowledge in corrosion engineering, inspection technology and mechanical integrity.

Identification of Vessels for which NII is appropriate Before NII can be carried out on a vessel it is important to establish that the inspection will be capable of providing the necessary level of assurance. There are two main approaches in this respect.

Firstly, the assessment can be made using the industry accepted HOIS

NII Decision Guidance that is based on a comparison to IVI. Secondly, in certain situations it is appropriate to make a more quantified assessment to demonstrate that the level of assurance can be achieved. In this approach a probabilistic assessment, including consideration of degradation types, degradation rates, inspection technique performance and mechanical integrity, is used to define the requirements.

Corrosion Risk Assessment An understanding of potential degradation mechanisms and their rates is essential to being able to confidently specify NII as an alternative to IVI. In many cases a significantly more detailed corrosion assessment is required prior to NII than would be the norm for management of integrity using IVI as the primary means of inspection.

Providing corrosion assessments to the required level of detail is essential. This is achieved through working closely with the asset owner to ensure that all relevant data (including process and inspection history) is included and state of the art corrosion models are applied.

Detailed NII planning The NII plan defines the techniques and procedures to be used and

TECHNICAL NOTE

Corrosion mapping image of a vessel. the locations for coverage by each inspection technique. The findings of the corrosion risk assessment together with knowledge of technique capability and limiting conditions are used to define an effective plan for each equipment item considered. This recognises that the requirements must be closely aligned to each specific case.

For example, the NII requirements in a situation in which little or no degradation is expected would focus on validating the assumptions of the corrosion assessment, and would be different to those in a situation where there is a reasonable probability of substantive degradation being present.

Inspection Techniques Effective NII relies on techniques which include digital collection of data to allow quantitative analysis and validation that the inspection has been performed as per the requirements. There are a range of advanced ultrasonic techniques, covering inspection for corrosion, erosion and cracking, including but not limited to the following. orrosion mapping for detection C and sizing of localised and general wall loss. ime of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) T for detection and sizing of weld cracking and erosion. This technique can also be used for determination

of wall thickness as it allows production of detailed corrosion maps for plate material.

Practice for NII. Statistical analysis of the data collected is therefore a key element of the evaluation.

utomated pulse echo for the A detection and sizing of weld defects. Pulse echo is also effective for the identification of certain pitting mechanisms.

The evaluation includes an assessment, with respect to integrity and remaining life, based on the inspection results. The outcome of the evaluation is, where possible, a justification for replacement or deferment of internal visual inspection.

reeping Head-wave Inspection C Method (CHIME) and Multiskip Shear Wave for the detection of wall loss. These are effective screening techniques that allow rapid coverage of large areas.

In addition, there are other techniques including a variety of radiographic and electromagnetic techniques that might be required in an offshore NII program.

Evaluation of inspection On completion of an inspection

by NII, it is important to evaluate the work carried out to ensure that the requirements of the inspection plan have been met. This includes a detailed review of the work actually achieved against the work scope specified. In addition, evaluation is required to assess the condition of the equipment compared to expectations and previous inspections. Sampling inspection, with less than 100% coverage, is fundamental to the approach in the HOIS Recommended

Summary By working closely with the asset owner to ensure rapid and effective communication of information, an NII program enables the benefits of NII over IVI to be maximised while retaining full confidence in equipment integrity.

Sonomatic offers integrity driven inspection solutions with over 30 years’ experience in advanced NDT inspection and delivery of successful NII for over 450 process pressure vessels with major operators. Sonomatic is capable of delivering all stages of NII from identification of suitable vessels and detailed NII assessments through to enactment of the physical inspection phase and evaluation of the achieved inspection to provide a formal decision on replacement or deferment of IVI.
