Carbon Capture with Real-Time Corrosion Monitoring

Amine treatment unit operators often face corrosion challenges due to carbonic acid attack. Corrosion can lead to loss of containment, health and safety incidents, and loss of revenue due to asset failure. Manual inspection techniques lack granularity and traditional intrusive corrosion monitoring can cause asymmetrical flow conditions and flow obstacles which may increase turbulence in the high velocity vapor flow and accelerate erosion rates further downstream. Operators benefit from using an accurate non-intrusive monitoring solution that can quickly identify thinning metal surfaces like Emerson’s Rosemount Wireless Permasense Corrosion and Erosion Monitoring System. This system removes the need for manual inspections by providing real-time asset integrity data, allowing operators to improve their planned maintenance procedures, avoid unplanned downtime, and improve operational safety.
