Cost of Corrosion in the Oil & Gas Industry
April 24, 2023, 12:09:00 PM
According to a study by NACE International, the global cost of corrosion was estimated to be $2.5 trillion in 2013, which is equivalent to approximately 3.4% of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).
Calculating VCI for Optimal Application Performance on Aboveground Storage Tank Bottoms
April 12, 2023, 09:44:00 AM
Proper calculations can make a huge difference in the performance of a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) application for Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) Bottoms.
Zerust Oil & Gas calculates based on the volume needed for a proper installation rather than just simply calculating the surface area.
Corrosion Under Insulation Testing of Zerust® Inhibtior Fusion (ZIF) Tape
March 8, 2023, 11:02:00 AM
A simple lab test was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Zerust Inhibitor Fusion (ZIF) Tape for CUI. In the test described below, a comparison was made between the control panels (no corrosion protection) and the test panels (protected by ZIF Tape).

Determining Corrosion Delivery Method for Tank Bottom Protection
February 21, 2021, 05:00:00 PM
Every proposal for our Tank Bottom corrosion mitigation solution starts with custom-design work that includes a thorough evaluation of the construction details for a targeted asset. I often get a lot of questions during the proposal stage of a project regarding what information we require for determining which of our inhibitor delivery systems (IDS) is the most appropriate for a given asset.
Surface Prep and Installation Techniques for Pipes with Zerust® Inhibitor Fusion (ZIF) Tape for CUI
September 29, 2020, 05:18:00 PM
Insulation is used for thermal conservation (hot/cold), frost and personnel protection and for control of sound and condensation throughout the oil, gas and chemical industries. That same insulation has been known to cause corrosion problems with the underlying steel substrate.
