cement that was spilled onto the process piping
cement that was spilled onto the process piping
(OP)
Dear All,
I work with a client and they found out that cement was spilled onto the process piping on the platform! Can any one verify if this can do any harm to the piping because it is very difficult to remove this.
Thanks in advance

RE: cement that was spilled onto the process piping
1. What is composition of cement? Anything harmful to pipe alloy?
2. The cement has formed crevices on pipe making corrosion conditions potentially more severe.
3. The cement will trap moisture and impurities against the surface of the pipe.
If it were mine I would be having a new pipe segment fabricated to replace the possibly compromised one.
I wouldn't worry about the short term, 6-9 months. But I wouldn't leave it.
It is possible that this would cause no damage. If the cement was alkali enough then it would serve to suppress most corrosion and protect the pipe.
Not a good gamble.

You might be able to remove the cement residue that you have by using some citric acid based cleaned or pure inhibited citric acid. Citric acid is commonly used to remove residual cement from cement trucks.
