Heat Exchanger Failure:Investigation Report

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Metal Engineering, Metal Processing, Metal Structure, grade: B+, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, course: Oil and Gas Engineering, language: English, abstract: As a Corrosion Expert, this report centred around the failure investigation of a shell and tube heat exchanger due to corrosion mechanisms. The different types of corrosion, its effect resulting to the failure and possible solutions and recommendations were submitted to the client for further action. The report also sheds light on the alloys used for the design and better alternatives to be used to prevent future degradation of the shell and tube heat exchangers.
