FAC Institute's pipeline corrosion and erosion analysis services aim to help clients address corrosion and erosion challenges in oil and gas pipelines under complex fluid conditions. Through in-depth numerical simulations of fluid flow characteristics and material wear within pipelines, FAC Institute assists clients in identifying high-risk areas, optimizing protective measures, and providing scientific support for system safety and reliability.
Technical Principles
The core of pipeline corrosion and erosion analysis lies in numerically simulating the effects of fluid velocity, pressure, and particle impact within pipelines to quantify corrosion and erosion rates. FAC Institute employs a series of advanced simulation tools, including:
- OLGA and LedaFlow: Industry standards for multiphase fluid analysis, capable of accurately simulating corrosion and erosion problems caused by gas-liquid two-phase flow in oil and gas pipelines.
- ECE (Electronic Corrosion Evaluation): A professional evaluation tool for assessing corrosion rates in pipelines, suitable for evaluating and preventing different corrosion mechanisms.
- FA Master: A proprietary software developed by FAC Institute, offering higher simulation flexibility and customization to provide tailored corrosion and erosion analysis solutions for clients.
The combined use of these software tools allows FAC Institute to perform in-depth corrosion and erosion analysis, supporting the safe design and protection of pipelines.
