Abstract

"The effect of simulated acidic rain for natural gas and petroleum pipeline", it is a final year project on the corrosion reaction of the pipelines materials due to the solution at high acidity of simulated acidic rain. The aim of this project is to discover the simulated acid rain effects to the pipeline material and the overcome solutions of the problem occur. The objectives of this project are to examine the initial stage of corrosion behavior for pipeline steel in artificial groundwater. The methods used for this project were archival collections, and books. Information regarding the effect of simulated acidic rain for natural gas and petroleum pipeline was gathered using the methods mentioned and was verified to affirm their authenticity. The articles of acid rain fiom the archival collections were analyzed to show the effects of the acid rain implication due to the pipeline material. The results revealed the criteria required for successful experimental observations as well as the simulated acid rain during the preparation simulating acid rain stage. From the analysis of the experiment, there was a data collection due to the pipeline material, simulation of acidic rain using the accurate compound and the experiment testing the material. Following the data analysis, a discussion was carried out to show the effects of simulated acid rain implementation to the pipeline material and the type of defects which occurred due to the appearance of the hazardous of this environmental effect of simulated acidic rain implementation by local researchers. The corrosion products were able to identify detailed and the corrosion rate that valued 3.428 x lo5 mm per year was recorded fiom the potentiostat machine in the corrosion testing. This shows that there were tendencies of corrosion happened by exposed pipeline material to the effects by the simulated acid rain. So the conclusion had been made that the API 5L X65 Carbon Steel Pipeline was effected by the simulated acidic rain and has to be prevent by applying coating materials that suitable to the pipeline materials especially deals with anions of acid rain also periodic maintenances to have an initial prevention steps on the pipeline and quick also effective alternatives to protect and make long lasting life span of the pipeline material.
