LOCALIZED CORROSION IN COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTS A comprehensive exploration of the monitoring, prediction, and prevention of major forms of localized corrosion in complex industrial environments

In Localized Corrosion in Complex Environments, distinguished researcher Dr. Mike Yongjun Tan delivers a solution focused approach to localized corrosion issues in complex environments with the potential to affect structural integrity, public safety, environmental protection, or energy and water deliverability. The book focuses on significant civil and industrial infrastructures exposed to complex corrosion environments, like underground and offshore gas, oil, and water pipelines.

The author offers information to help ensure the continued safe operation of aging infrastructures and discusses the limitations of current technologies and the need to continuously develop new and more efficient technologies to manage integrity, prevent structural failures, protect the environment, and reduce operational costs.

Readers will also find:



A thorough introduction to the major issues relevant to infrastructural corrosion issues
Comprehensive explorations of issues likely to affect future fuel and energy infrastructures, like hydrogen containing pipelines and offshore and onshore wind farms
Practical discussions of recent progress in inspection and monitoring technologies, as well as the protection provided by protective coatings
Fulsome treatments of the use of corrosion inhibitors

Perfect for materials and corrosion scientists, physical chemists, engineers, regulators, technologists, and environmentalists, Localized Corrosion in Complex Environments will also earn a place in the libraries of corrosion and materials engineers, maintenance engineers, pipeline engineers, field personnel, and anyone responsible for the integrity of production and transmission of oil, gas, and water.
