Growth behavior of surface cracks in pipeline steels exposed to near-neutral pH environments
DownloadFall 2013
This study is part of a larger study designed to help a consortium of pipeline operators replace current (very expensive) approaches to managing stress corrosion cracking (SCC) concerns in near-neutral pH (NNPH) environments with mathematical models that predict SCC growth rates. This could...

Investigation of Corrosion and Crack Morphology Behavior under Disbonded Coatings on Pipelines
DownloadFall 2015
Coating disbondment on pipelines is a common phenomenon that leads to exposure of the pipeline metal to the surrounding soil and ground water solutions. The exposure of pipelines to those corrosive environments is associated with development of corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) on the...

Investigation of Highly Corrosion Resistant and Electrically Conductive Coatings on Metal Bipolar Plates Used in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell
DownloadSpring 2019
There are apparent technical and economic advantages to replace carbon-based bipolar plates using metal bipolar plates (MBP) for applications in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). However, MBP suffers from corrosion in the acidic environment of PEMFC, and the subsequently formed...

Investigation of Surface Crack Growth Behaviour Under Variable Pressure Fluctuations in Near-Neutral pH Environments
DownloadFall 2017
The goal of this investigation was to study the corrosion fatigue behaviour and mechanisms of surface cracks, semi-elliptical in shape, when exposed to near-neutral pH environments conducive to the environments experienced in the field. To better simulate field conditions, while avoiding the...

Spring 2015
The objective of this dissertation was to find novel adsorbents addressing problems associated with acid gases. They are the most common contaminants in multiple aspects of petroleum processing and combustion gas clean up, which reduce the efficiency of petroleum refining and product quality....

The Role of Sulfur Species in Establishing the Corrosion Reactions in Refinery Metallurgies
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis is focused on the studying the role that model sulfur-containing molecules have in corrosion reactions on relevant metallurgies. This was done by using a design of experiments where a number of sulfur-based compounds were reacted with various metallurgies. The 8 model sulfur compounds...

The Study of the Corrosion Behavior of Gas Nitriding Treated L80 Steel in Simulated Environment for the Slotted Liners of SAGD
DownloadSpring 2016
The oil sand in Alberta province is mainly extracted by Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technique which employs the slotted liners as the primary sand screening system. However, the slotted liners made of L80 carbon steel suffer from severe corrosion and erosion problems in the downhole...
