Prediction Of Generalised And Localized Carbon Steel Corrosion Using Improved Norsok And Papavinasam Models

Carbon steel corrosion is a commonly encountered issue in pipelines transporting hydrocarbons containing corrosive agents such as CO2, H2S and water. As a result, several corrosion prediction models have been put forward over the years although no standard model exists for corrosion prediction in the industry. Two of such models are the Norsok model for predicting sweet generalized corrosion and the Papavinasam model for predicting localised corrosion which are both insufficient to accurately predict CO2 corrosion due to their underlying operational limitations. In this project, both of the ab…
