No tool exist for predicting the corrosivity in the aqueous streams in renewable fuel processing units. The aqueous phase contains a combination of chemicals (CO, CO2, H2S, NH3 and HCl) which are all outside of the existing available models. The goal is to better understand the limits for corrosion resistant alloys under the aqueous conditions present in renewable fuel processing units

The objective of this project is to produce an atlas for alloys C-22, C-2000, 59 and 686 microstructures that clearly identifies the phases that occur in the alloy. The thermo-mechanical processing and welding that produced the microstructure will be properly documented with each case. The microstructural cases will be correlated with published or computer generated TTT data to explain the presence of each phase.

Extractables in Polymer resins and semi-finished components for high purity applications.
This project is intended to evaluate the relative corrosion resistance of unique alloys and hardfacings used in polymer extrusion equipment. A design of experiments to cover 3 chemical process environments involving alloys typically used in extruders. The primary benefit of completing this project is the creation of consistent corrosion data that can be used to make informed choices for polymer processing equipment materials for mildly corrosive polymer processing - improving equipment reliability and uptime.
Evaluation of Fiber Optic High Temperature Multiplexing Sensing Technologies for Continuous Metal Temperature Monitoring in CPI and Refinery Applications. Evaluate sapphire fiber optical technology with Fabry-Perot interferometer, Fiber Bragg Grating, Rayleigh Scattering-Based Sensors using annealed silica fiber, and other viable fiber optic technologies to make high temperature measurements suitable for CPI process operations. Evaluate methods of instrument installation on existing tubes/equipment (ability to fit fiber optics to existing tubes in furnaces), viability of casting instruments into tubes, theoretical explanation and practical substantiation of the available techniques, technical maturity and implementation durability, and economic feasibility.
develop a guide for the installation of Dual Laminate piping - initial fabrication and material selection is out of scope
Create a guideline for failure mechanisms in the pulp and paper industry. This reference will include generic pulp and paper unit Process Flow Diagrams with the applicable damage mechanisms for each system in the process. Specifically, it will include the following mechanisms which are not available elsewhere: - Continuous Digester Caustic Stress Corrosion Cracking inspection techniques and repairs - Sulfur Stress Corrosion Cracking (Turpentine Systems) - Stress Assisted Corrosion - Recovery Boiler Tube Near Drum Corrosion - Flow Accelerated Corrosion - Digester blowline damage mechanisms - Batch Digester / Hot Plate Corrosion update - GRP/FRP equipment damage mechanisms - Black Liquor Recovery Boiler mechanisms
Develop a Guideline that covers the basic degradation mechanism that can damage equipment and piping during plant construction, pre-commissioning. List the mitigation and prevention steps, be aware that these have changed with module fabrication in low cost countries and ban on many corrosion inhibitors due to environmental concerns. The MTI guideline should become an “industry standard” that can be shared with non-materials/corrosion engineers to avoid MIC failures. It should describe cases and have concise MIC mitigation treatment plans/descriptions for these cases.
The project proposes an investigation of stainless steels corrosion resistance to Pitting, Crevice and SCC resistance in temperatures above 90oC (194oF) and low chloride amounts. The aim is to complete the existing engineering diagrams defining the temperature-chloride content boundaries for these corrosion mechanisms.
A concise book on new design and construction, repairs, installation, and inspections for high temperature ceramic materials including castables, ceramic fiber, high temp refractory, rammed materials, anchor, linings and ferrule materials. Produce a text providing introductory discussions on high temperature ceramic materials (excluding electronics) in MTI Member facilities. Include general description, common installation methods, inspection recommendations applicable during installation and maintenance. Gather input from industry leaders as research to produce each segment.

Produce a catalogue of a variety of NDE responses (ToFD, ,PAUT, TFM/FMC) with corresponding metallographic characterization of carbon steel and carbon 1/2 moly HTHA specimens. Focus will be on incipient damage and HTHA with inclusions ad weld defects and other inclusions.
Develop standard, critical and operational IOW templates/guidance for the most common chemical plants. The common chemical process IOW templates will be a MTI stand-alone product and/or serve as an addendum to API 584.

There are numerous standard ASTM test methods for determining the relative resistance of materials or surface treatments to impingement, dry sliding wear, and wet reciprocating wear, however, there is no established correlation between a material’s mechanical properties and its wear resistance. The relationship between such wear tests and actual wear performance in equipment is unclear. The objective of this project is to develop approaches to predict wear rates for a range of materials frequently used in the process industries over a range of abrasion Indices and different types of wear.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) provides designers the ability to build parts directly from computer-aided design (CAD) files. Metal AM technology is rapidly maturing and offers a range of benefits to reduce cost, schedule and increase performance of Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) systems. The impact to the BPV industry has been limited by the availability of standards. The project objective is to use this effort to validate the qualification for materials used in fabrication of BVP equipment. This project will be authorized in two phases: Phase 1: Qualify an additive material manufacturing procedure using GMA-DED method and ER-2594 filler metal in accordance with the requirements of Section 6 in ASME Code Case (Record Number 22-1598) and ASME Section IX, Part QW, Article VI. Phase 2: Fabricate a test pressure vessel with the Phase 1 results and test it according to MTI provided design using GMA-DED in compliance with ASME Code Case (Record Number 22-1598) sections 1-14 requirements, and supplemental MTI requested test methods.

This project will search for a firm that is able to non-destructively detect titanium hydriding in plant equipment. Past MTI titanium hydride projects looked at one specific method with the aim to adapt the method to identify titanium hydriding. This project has a much broader perspective aiming to test all techniques that have the potential to detect titanium hydriding. Industry information suggests that a method already exists. A few companies indicate they can non-destructively detect titanium hydriding. With the goal of discovering the best method to detect titanium hydriding, the project team intends to find out if these firms can prove their techniques.
