Gas separation membranes for separating components from a gas stream are gaining increasing popularity. They are often used to separate CO2 from hydrocarbon gases, hydrogen and ammonia.

It is important to perform effective risk analysis and to know site and extent of biofilm growth in order to successfully implement anti-fouling strategies, .

Pipe failures resulting from Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC) have been widely recognized in petrochemical, gas and nuclear power industries. Recently this phenomenon has been associated with failures in fire protection systems (FPS).

The risk of Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC) can be virtually eliminated by control of water quality, sterilisation of the system, use of biocides (in non-drinking water systems) and improved system design and operation.

Corrosive substances that present potential problems should be studied in detail to determine the nature and seriousness of the problems they present. A large part of this evaluation should consist of air sampling conducted by an industrial hygienist or a person trained in air sampling techniques. The possibility of exposing employees to corrosives should be evaluated to determine the needs for controls and personal protective equipment.

Microbial corrosion is a serious problem in the petroleum industry. The corrosion of offshore structures, ships, pipes and electric systems is the main source of operational problems and economic loss. Several factors affect biofilm formation in metal surfaces.

The usability, lifetime and availability of many plants, especially in the chemical and petrochemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical industries are greatly determined by the resistance to corrosion of the materials used.

The information incompatibility problem in manufacturing metrology is costly to everyone. The standards solution eliminates these costs, as long as there is end user support and the standard and its implementations are verifiably correct, complete, unambiguous, and timely.

Tin is widely employed in the manufacture of food containers and its electrochemical behaviour in the presence of organic acids has attracted considerable interest.

Being the first to gain the most is a fundamental principle in the generics business because several companies compete to create generics of successful products going off patent.

CBS has been supplying for nearly 40 years a variety of industrial, commercial and residential piping, beginning with metallic pipes and, as demand changed, evolving to plastic tubing.

• Protective coating method
• Desiccant method
• VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) method

The variety of conditions in which corrosion appears and its various forms makes corrosion analysis a complex process. Because of the variety of corrosion forms and conditions, there is no universal corrosion test for all situations.
