The petroleum and chemical industries contain a wide variety of corrosive environments, many of whichare unique to these industries. Oil and gas production operations consume a tremendous amount of ironand steel pipe, tubing, pumps, valves, and sucker rods. Metallic corrosion is costly. However, the cost ofcorrosion is not just financial. Beyond the huge direct outlay of funds to repair or replace corroded structures are the indirect costs ' natural resources, potential hazards, and lost opportunity. Wasting natural resources is a direct contradiction to the growing need for sustainable development. By selecting the correct material and applying proper corrosion protection methods, these costs can bereduced, or even eliminated. This book provides a minimum design requirement for consideration whendesigning systems in order to prevent or control corrosion damage safely and economically, and addresses: Corrosion problems in petroleum and chemical industriesRequirements for corrosion controlChemical control of corrosive environmentsCorrosion inhibitors in refineries and petrochemical plantsMaterials selection and service life of materialsSurface preparation, protection and maintainabilityCorrosion monitoring - plant inspection techniques and laboratory corrosion testing techniques Intended for engineers and industry personnel working in the petroleum and chemical industries, this book is also a valuable resource for research and development teams, safety engineers, corrosion specialists and researchers in chemical engineering, engineering and materials science.

"An intriguing and impressive account of corporate social responsibility-and neoliberalism writ large-on the ground, in action, in chemical plant communities in Louisiana…Ottinger effectively [illustrates] how, in complex, culturally saturated ways, corporate commitment to `responsible care' has created critical challenges for environmental activism and justice." -Kim Fortun, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Residents of a small Louisiana town were sure that the oil refinery next door was making them sick. As part of a campaign demanding relocation away from the refinery, they collected scientific data to prove it. Their campaign ended with a settlement agreement that addressed many of their grievances-but not concerns about their health. Yet, instead of continuing to collect data, residents began to let refinery scientists' assertions that their operations did not harm them stand without challenge. What makes a community move so suddenly from actively challenging to apparently accepting experts' authority? Refining Expertise argues that the answer rests in the way that refinery scientists and engineers defined themselves as experts. Rather than claiming to be infallible, they began to portray themselves as responsible. This work drives home the need for both activists and politically engaged scholars to reconfigure their own activities in response, in order to advance community health and robust scientific knowledge about it. Gwen Ottinger is Assistant Professor in Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington-Bothell, where she teaches in the Science, Technology, & Society and Environmental Studies majors.
