You imply that you consider pickling and passivation versus paint coating as alternatives. Pickling and passivation will remove the rusting but it will corrode again because it is in a marine atmosphere at high ambient temperatures. Paint coating is necessary and given your client's position you need to look at vacuum blasting methods. I also suggest that you lightly dress off what appears to spatter and/or welding flux.

Dear all ,



Please see the photos attached after my visit to offshore platform , I applied only SS wire brush , it s been removed. 

Now my doubt is can I go for pickling passivation or paint methodology? Client not approving for sweep blast as it in site condition in that case my opinion is not to coat with paint .

Only we allowed to use power tools in tank for surface cleaning . Please drop your suggestion on methodology. It s gas platform during shut down we need to clean and retain their properties of SS tank.

Dear Sirs ,

 

Thank you so much of all your suggestions , I am travelling now to offshore to see the real condition of this tank and need to discuss with aramco , let me come back to you after discussion in this subject.

You only apply insulation if you need to insulate for process reasons.

The risk of corrosion under insulation is very real and you should not confuse insulation with protecting against corrosion. If it saturates (which it can easily do so) it is both the medium causing the corrosion and mask the corrosion from view.

Pickling and passivating will deal with the current surface corrosion on 316 stainless steel and leave it looking rust free, but the pits will still be there.

In an exposed marine environment, which has already caused a significant amount of corrosion the rust staining will re-appear.

You can pickle and passivate to clean up and then apply paint coatings to prevent this happening, but they need good surface preparation and proper application, and you should get advice from the coatings companies.

The application of coatings to 316 stainless steel is a recognised way of minimising corrosion in warm marine environments.

The idea of flame-sprayed aluminium (suggested by one correspondent) is interesting but applying it in-situ seems to be to be an even more difficult challenge than the idea of applying a decent paint coating.

Dear All

I agree with Pradip

But, please note that the applied coating should be well selected to avoid Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) problem.

Hi Neilashkumar,

I would like to add a few notes in addition to the comments of Mr. Alan Denny.

Painting is quite uncommon for austenitic stainless steels. Following fabrication and welding, complete pickling + passivation is more common practice. In addition depending on the surrounding environmental conditions stainless steel vessels and piping are   often  insulated   ( which is another protective shield against atmospheric corrosion). Usually  C5M grade of paints are recommended for stainless steel in marine environments.

Often paints may contain items such as "isocyanates" which has serious health and safety issues. In these  attached  documents the texts with yellow or green highlights are recommended while the one with red  requires "CAUTION". It would be advisable ( as stated earlier by Alan) to consult the paint manufacturers.  

 Irrespective of painting or other option full surface cleaning and surface preparation by blasting is recommended.

The other and safer option would be to blast clean the surface, perform in situ pickling and  passivate and then to  insulate the vessel.  Avesta( http://www.avestafinishing.com/products/pickling-spray.aspx) has good and proven products for such passivation work. You may find out more details for local vendors.

Thanks.

The coating manufacturers are normally very helpful in providing the advice you need regarding application of their coatings to difficult substrate materials. I suggest you put this question to Hempel or to International Paints (Akzo Nobel). The challenge will be doing this in-situ and achieving the necessary surface preparation standard. I would expect, as I think you have anticipated, that you first have to pickle and passivate before performing surface preparation and coating if this coating is to have any durability.

Dear All ,

Instead of Pickling and passivation Can anyone advise or suggest any epoxy type coating spray from hempell is advisable ? I need your valuable point on this subject.

Because after pickling and passivation client is asking me what guaranty it will not corrode again? Since it is a marine environment.
