Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a rising concern for the energy sector. A new standard test method may help reduce risk and protect steel integrity.
With asset utilization critical, and community and regulatory pressure always looming, it is essential that tank farm owners proactively prevent any loss of containment with reliable, cost-effective corrosion protection. This is crucial since atmospheric corrosion is one of the main culprits of tank leaks, containment loss and early replacement.
With CUI and corrosion a perennial problem for oil and gas facilities with massive carbon steel structures, utilizing CBPC coatings that can control corrosion for decades and reduce downtime will only help the bottom line.
A breakthrough in coatings for corrosion under insulation (CUI) in the petrochemical market has been unveiled for Europe, Middle East and Africa by Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings.
