Corrosion managment technology for analyzing and solving of corrosion problems in geothermal field

Abstract

Industrial risk assessment is a careful examination of potential hazards that may affect the operation of a business; these may be risks associated with the safety and integrity of physical assets, risks to the environment, financial risk from various decisions and also risk from corrosion. Corrosion related failures of facilities are a major source of risk and a vital issue for the safety to geothermal installations. Corrosion can be a life-limiting cause of deterioration by general wastage, and/or pitting and/or environmentally assisted cracking to plant items which in turn can lead of containment of geothermal fluids. Management of corrosion is therefore a major driver to safety, environmental and economic issues within the industry.
Corrosion management technology is the integrated efforts to achieve the technique and method for handling and solving of corrosion problems based on the corrosion management and risk management analysis with adopting the optimal and efficient technology. The main aim is devised to enable it to act for the application of corrosion management techniques and methods in other hazardous area on the geothermal fields in terms of corrosion risk management guidance manual intended for use by both industry and HSE inspectors.
