The experimental results revealed that the overall corrosion resistance of WC-Co coating was inferior to that of WC-Co-Cr coating. For the coatings without Cr, WC-Co, general corrosion occurred in binder materials in addition to galvanic corrosion between WC particles and metallic binders in the neutral environment. By contrast, the formation of passive film in the form of surface oxide in the coatings containing Cr, WC-Co-Cr, suppressed the binder and metallic binders to be eroded. It is found that the chemical composition of metallic binder materials is one of the important factors influencing the corrosion resistance of HVOF sprayed WC cermet coatings in the neutral vapor.展开更多

Due to its features,flowline bundle offers a couple of advantages over conventional flowline in particular for cases where multi-flowlines and high thermal performance is of great interest. The main benefits and advantages of such system include excellent thermal performance to prevent wax formation and hydrates,multiple bundled flowlines,mechanical and corrosion protection,potential reuse, etc. With the developments of offshore oil and gas industries,more and more hydrocarbon resources are being explored and discovered from shallow to deep water. Pipeline bundle system can be a smart solution for certain applications,which can be safe and cost effective solution. The objective of this paper is to overview pipeline bundle technology,outline detailed engineering design issue and procedure. Focus is given to its potential application in offshore for infield transportation. Engineering design principles and procedures for pipeline bundle system are highlighted. Construction methods of flowline bundle onshore are reviewed. Offshore towing and installation of pipeline bundle procedure is outlined.展开更多
