In this episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast, John Zimmerman, Key Account Manager for Sherwin‑Williams Protective & Marine, covers an array of common corrosion challenges energy producers face and how to specify the ideal coatings to mitigate those threats.
From tank interiors to insulated piping, John covers the hidden – and not so hidden – costs of corrosion that hydrocarbon processing facilities face related to downtime and safety risks. He reviews what producers can do to reduce those risks, touching on the importance of:
- Using protective linings that ensure asset integrity and product purity, particularly for tanks housing more aggressive products such as biofuels and corrosive crude oil.
- Assessing high-temperature and high-corrosion environments to determine why existing coatings are failing and what solutions will work better.
- Collaborating with inspectors, contractors, and coatings manufacturers to ensure processes and commodities are understood so they can specify the optimal coatings for applications.
- Asking for help and involving technical service representatives from reputable suppliers when assessing and preparing specifications.
- Planning ahead for plant turnarounds and general maintenance activities so the most critical coatings needs can be addressed first.
Tune in to learn how to better battle corrosion throughout your facility with the right protective coatings solutions.
