Abstract: Power is provided to an electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell includes an anode side and a cathode side. Hydrogen sulfide in a liquid state is flowed to the anode side. Providing power to the electrochemical cell facilitates electrolysis of the hydrogen sulfide to produce sulfur and protons on the anode side. Providing power to the electrochemical cell facilitates reduction of protons to produce hydrogen on the cathode side. A membrane separating the anode side from the cathode side prevents flow of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur from passing through the membrane while allowing hydrogen cations to pass through the membrane. Sulfur is flowed out of the anode side. Hydrogen is flowed out of the cathode side.

Abstract: A sensor, an assembly of the sensor with a pair of cylindrical pipes, and a method have the sensor in-line with the pipes and with a 360 degree range of detection of a first characteristic of the pipes about a common longitudinal axis of the pipes. The sensor has an annular electrode and a conductor connecting the annular electrode to a measurement transmitter. The annular electrode detects the first characteristic and generates a first measurement signal corresponding to the first characteristic. The conductor conveys the first measurement signal to the measurement transmitter. The method implements the operation of the sensor.

Abstract: A system for performing electrochemical and hydrogen permeation measurements using a test specimen subject to tensile stress comprises a first housing filled with a process fluid supplied via an inlet with hydrogen sulfide, a second housing filled with a basic solution, a test specimen positioned between the first and second housings exposed to the process fluid on one side and to the basic solution on the other, first and second potentiostats coupled to the first and second housings to measure corrosion and induce hydrogen permeation, a loading device adapted to apply a longitudinal strain on the specimen, and a computing device configured to control operation of the potentiostat and loading device. The hydrogen sulfide in the process fluid impedes formation of diatomic hydrogen from atomic hydrogen, allowing adsorbed atomic hydrogen to enter into the steel test specimen from one side and permeate into the other side of the test specimen.

Abstract: A system for conducting measuring corrosion rates in a multiphase environment using electrochemical and weight-loss measurement methods on test coupons is provided. A plurality of inserts is disposed within a test vessel in a vertical arrangement. Each insert is provided with at least one test coupon and at least one working electrode that are exposed to the corrosive test environment within vessel. A test fluid mixture is added to the vessel and the temperature and pressure is maintained such that the mixture exists in a multiphase condition that has a vertical stratification such that each insert is exposed to a different phase of the fluid. Electrical signals from the working electrode is measured to determine the corrosion rate using an electrochemical method. The pre-test weight of the coupon is compared to the post-test weight to determine the corrosion rate using a weight-loss method.

Abstract: A high-speed corrosion-resistant rotating cylinder electrode test apparatus for monitoring of corrosion rates of metals includes an electrochemical/permeation cell body adapted to contain a fluid whose corrosive effect is to be monitored, the cell body having a base at a lower surface thereof and the base having an aperture therethrough. A counter electrode/reference electrode complex is mounted within the cell. The system further includes a cylindrical working electrode and a rotatable system shaft having a lower portion below the base and extending therefrom through the aperture into the cell body, the working electrode being mounted on an upper portion of the system shaft to be positioned within the cell body for rotation. A cone-shaped cap formed from a corrosion-resistant polymeric material is positioned above the working electrode and extends upwardly a relatively short distance into the fluid to reduce vortex phenomena. A motor is connectable to the system shaft for rotating the system shaft.
