used offshore. The question of availability of such materials and
know-how as far as their application is concerned, has been brought
forward in Norway. In this country we can refer to a long tradition in
handling sea-water corrosion problems in connection with our merchant
marine whilst the American oil companies have brought with them
experience from land based petroleum exploration to the North Sea
activities. In many instances, however, this experience does not apply
offshore where there often are different requirements to life time,
frequency of maintenance and safety.
In the nuclear power industry similar or even more stringent requirements
apply. For that reason our neighbouring countries, Sweden and
Finland, are more advanced as far as expertise and experience with
sea-water resistant materials are concerned. We stand to learn from
their experience.
In August 1985 a two-day seminar was arranged at the Institute for
Energy Technology at Kjeller. Experience with sea-water corrosion in
Nordic power plants was discussed. The seminar was sponsored by the
NKA (Nordic liaison Committee for atomic energy). There was also input
from Danish experience with corrosion in coal fired power plants. A
summary of some of the topics discussed at this seminar, all relevant
to the offshore industry, are collected in a report available from the
Library at Institute for Energy Technology (in Norwegian).
The first article deals with experience in materials for sea-water
-pumps, -valves, -heat exchangers and -pipework. The second article
describes in more detail the experience with copper based materials.
The third article concerns experience in chlorination of sea-water
systems. The final article summarizes experience with accelerated
laboratory tests for stainless steels. | | Publication date: | 01 Mar 1986 | | Number of downloads: | 15485 | | Download: |  116.PDF |
