CORROSION COUPON AT AR-701 INSTALLATION

Introduction

The RBI (Risk Base Inspection) inspection program was initiated to determine internal
inspection due date requirements for the FFAR (Fixed Film Anaerobic Reactor) tanks,
and also determine risks driving the required internal inspection interval.  As outcome of
this RBI assessment work it is recommended that Acoustic Emission (AE) test are used to
monitor floor conditions, allowing future operations and inspection, repair, replacement
plans to be managed using results from these tests. To confirm corrosion rate by biogas
corrosion coupon shall be install before conduct Acoustic Emission (AE) in year 2012.

Project Description

Install 3 duplicate sets of Coupons, for remove the coupon after 6 month, 1 year, and 2
years. The ideal location would be to insert the corrosion coupon rack through the T1, T2,
or T3 roof inspection nozzle Tank AR-701 with a 2" ball valve on each the three T1, T2,
T3 nozzle, so the coupon rack diameter would have to slide through a 2" ball valve. 
Corrosion coupon should be placed at vapor space of reactor.
