Track: Oil & Gas Refining
Thermally insulated assets are prone to degradations such as Corrosion under insulation (CUI), Corrosion Fatigue, and Insulation Driven Stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In addition to degradations, the moisture absorption in thermal insulation results in the increased thermal losses leading to process in-efficiencies and Increased carbon footprints. This symposium invites original and impactful work around the degradation and performance issues in thermally insulated systems. The abstract submissions and papers can include (but not limited) original research work, case studies, new technologies addressing the inspection, monitoring and mitigation of the degradation mechanisms and thermal losses.
