Wet H2S Damage Detection – Part 1
Wet H2S damage is complex and often misunderstood because the overall propensity for these damage mechanisms is governed by different controlling metallurgical and environmental variables. Furthermore, each form of wet H2S damage exhibits distinctive morphologies, introduces varying levels of risk, and ultimately can promote different failure modes. Damage propagation rates can also be difficult to predict and can be accelerated by minor changes in process environments. This article will summarize the fundamentals of these wet H2S-related damage mechanisms, discuss operating conditions and other factors influencing damage progression, and present the typical damage characteristics and morphologies of each mechanism.
