Corrosion Concerns at Woodside’s LNG Plant
A SECOND LNG plant in Western Australia has been hit with concerns as Woodside Petroleum has discovered corrosion at its Train 4 at the North West Shelf facility.
Train 4 is relatively new and larger than the older trains, some of which are 30 years old and the corrosion was discovered during routine maintenance last month,

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
Webcast: CUI Considerations for Industrial Pipe Applications (On Demand)
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is not an insulation problem, it is a system problem. This webcast provides insight into material selection, and how the insulation system can be used to limit the potential of CUI.
Viewers will see how a properly specified and installed insulation system will provide years of reliable performance that minimizes, if not prevents, the potential for corrosion.
In this webcast, attendees will learn:
- What causes CUI;
- The insulation system and its components;
- How different insulation materials react to moisture.;
- Current insulation material strategies for dealing with moisture;
Doug Fast is a professional engineer (PE) and technical leader for Owens Corning’s Industrial Mineral Wool product offerings.
