Corrosion leads to billions in losses each year, and the solution to this problem is an important task. The main damage caused by corrosion, is not the loss of the metal itself, and the huge cost of products being destroyed by corrosion. That is why the annual loss of it in the industrialized countries are so high. True loss of it can not be determined by estimating only direct losses, which include the cost of destroying the structure, the cost of replacement equipment, the cost of measures to protect against corrosion. More more damaging are indirect losses. This downtime when replacing corroded parts and assemblies, drain products, violation of technological processes.
Economic losses caused by corrosion of metals is enormous. In the US, according to the latest NACE damage from corrosion 3.1% of GDP (276 billion dollars). In Germany, the losses amounted to 2.8% of GDP. According to experts of different countries, these losses in industrialized countries ranges from 2 to 4% of the gross national product. When this metal loss, including weight of defective metal constructions, products, equipment, from 10 to 20% of the annual production of steel.
Corrosion of the inner surface of metal pipes in hot water due to the chemical composition of water, its temperature and flow rate, factors that stimulate pitting corrosion of pipes, as a result of which there are fistulas and form corrosive deposits. This in turn leads to leakage of water, moreover, corrosive deposits reduce throughput pipelines that eventually necessitates premature replacement pipe. This problem is typical for construction and housing sector, and for the central boiler systems, municipal and state ownership.
In the areas of oil and gas and mining equipment corrosion are most susceptible pipelines, drilling platforms, fishing equipment, mining and quarrying, and others. The highest rate of corrosion of pipelines and drilling platforms at offshore facilities there. In addition, galvanic corrosion occurs in the elements of these designs, zaglublёnnyh the ground. The destruction of the metal equipment oil and gas fields is under the influence of a complex contained in crude oil and raw natural gas corrosive components of soil, external electric fields and atmosphere. When corrosion corroded casing and tubing, fountains, valves, flowlines and separators, heat exchangers, tank farms and other.
So our mission is to provide housing, state and municipal sectors, as well as the oil and gas industry’s most effective instruments for corrosion protection and the means to combat it, in order to save costs for the elimination of the results of corrosion of various objects.
