Corrosion in Systems for Storage and Transportation of Petroleum Products and Biofuels

This book examines corrosion as it occurs and affects processes in real-world situations. It explains why petroleum products are corrosive, especially biofuels, and addresses monitoring methods in storage and transportation systems of petroleum products.

Includes a clear explanation why petroleum products and biofuels are corrosive Describes corrosion control Addresses monitoring methods in storage and transportation systems of petroleum products Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Autorentext

Dr. Alec Groysman graduated in 1973 from the Chemico-Technological University named after Mendeleev in Moscow. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry and corrosion in 1983 in Moscow. Dr. Groysman has experience in corrosion and protection from corrosion from 1976 in the oil refining industry.

Dr. Groysman deals with kinetics and thermodynamics of corrosion processes, on-line corrosion monitoring, choice and use of corrosion inhibitors, coating systems, selection of appropriate alloys for corrosive conditions, and failure analysis. He has special interests in corrosion education and in the searching of relationships between corrosion, art, history and philosophy.

His first book "Corrosion for Everybody" published by Springer in 2010 received the innovation award winner of Materials Performance Readers` choice in 2012 year in the USA.
