Third Generation Polysiloxane Technology

The ACA's Oil and Gas Technical Group was thrilled to Host Peter Bock for a presentation on Third Generation Polysiloxane Technology. Third Generation Polysiloxane (TGPS) ambient curing CUI mitigation coatings have been used in the petrochemical and processing industries for over five years since the “third generation” concept was introduced at NACE Corrosion 2017. These coating technologies have demonstrated positive results in both shop and field application for asset management in elevated temperature, cryogenic and cyclic applications across -196 to 650o C/ (-321 to 1200o F)  operational temperatures. TGPS coatings have also demonstrated effective use of a two-step (primer-insulation) CUI mitigation coating approach operating up to  400o C/750o F, when compared to the traditional (CUI coating-fibrous insulation-cladding) systems.

Lab Investigation of Electrolysis Effects on a 164 Year Old Pipe

Presenter Candice Blackney is currently a Senior Engineer in Corrosion Management at Greater Western Water. She specialises in the cathodic protection of pipelines and has an interest in sewer corrosion too. She has been involved in the corrosion industry for exactly 11 years now, starting her journey in corrosion at Melbourne Water as a vacation student at the age of 19. The path into the corrosion industry was very clear for her and starting in high school where she was fascinated with redox reactions and how atoms interacted. She has a Bachelor of Engineering (Materials) from Monash University and also worked as a contractor, where she designed ICCP systems and managed water corrosion maintenance and minor capital contracts.

Hydrogen Embrittlement of Pipelines and Possible CP Effects

Presenter Mike Yongjun Tan is a Professor in Applied Electrochemistry and Corrosion Technologies at Deakin University in Australia. He is also a Research Program Leader of the Energy Pipelines Cooperative Research Centre. Dr Tan’s principal teaching and research interests are in corrosion science and engineering and their applications for enhancing the reliability and durability of civil and industrial infrastructures. He contributed to electrochemical methods for corrosion testing, monitoring and prediction and corrosion inhibitor and anti-corrosion coating research. He is author of some 150 publications and a book entitled “Heterogeneous Electrode Processes and Localised Corrosion”(2012 John Wiley & Sons).
