Centre "Renewable energy development and energy saving technologies" | Centre "Energy saving" | Centre "Economic relations" | Republic Radon centre | Scientific-technical centre (STC) "Diagnostics" | Centre "Corrosion problems" | Hydrometeorology Center | CENTRE "CORROSION PROBLEMS" The main objectives of the Centre: implementation of a general scientific and technical policy of corrosion protection and monitoring at energy-related objects (gas, oil and electricity):
The Centre holds a portfolio of various realised technologies involving protection with inhibitors and coatings of subsoil and surface oil and gas producing equipment under conditions of multiphase state of produced transported products and wide range of associated aggressive components. Compositions for inhibitors and coatings developed for protection from corrosion and bio-corrosion have been developed using local resources and tested on the sites in Azerbaijan, Orenburg, Astrakhan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, North of Russia. The following compounds have been developed: atmospherically and water-resistant enamels, polymeric resins, zinc-containing paints, hydrocarbon-polymeric protective lubricants, applied on varnished and painted surfaces in the areas of their periodic wetting. Organisation of production of varnishes and paints using the Centre's process and in a required volume will allow to preserve offshore oil and gas producing installations from corrosive destruction. Coating systems with high cathodic polarisation and uniform distribution of the potential both in bulk and in thin films of sea water have been introduced by the Centre. Specialists of the Centre developed a chromatographic method allowing to determine speeds of steam-water corrosion in steam pipes of thermal power stations. It is proposed to use a chromatograph for determination of the composition and assessment of the corrosive aggressiveness of outgoing gases. Works are being in progress to assess possibility to use aluminium plates oxidised by micro-arc way as corrosion-resistant and erosion-resistant materials for regenerative air heaters of the thermal power stations. It is suggested to use inhibitors for protection from corrosion of the turbine condensers working in closed-cycle cooling systems using cooling towers. Planned as a future work are studies of a high-temperature vanadium corrosion of a heating surface of boiler assemblies when burning a fuel oil. |
