Topic: Issues Related to Biofuel Transportation
Abstract: There has been significant interest in the pipeline industry related to the transportation of biofuels such as fuel grade ethanol. Ethanol transportation is primarily performed using tanker trucks, rail cars or barges; however, there is interest in alternative economical means of transportation such as pipelines. Issues related to ethanol transportation in pipelines include corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC). This presentation will provide an overview of these corrosion issues as well as current research that is being conducted related to ethanol transportation.
Biography: Dr. Beavers is a Senior Scientist and the Director of Failure Analysis for DNV Columbus, Inc. an engineering, research, and testing firm specializing in corrosion control, fitness-for-service, pipeline/plant integrity analysis, corrosion monitoring, and materials evaluation and selection. He has directed and contributed to numerous research programs on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion and performance of structural materials. These programs have included failure analyses and laboratory and field evaluations of metallic and non-metallic materials.
