Corrosion prediction in medium pressure vent pipes at high sulfur field stations through numerical analysis of internal wall liquid phase distribution by Jing Li, Jianhua Gong, Jun Shen, Kege Yang, Jin Zhou, Yihong Liao

“…The results indicate that the distribution of the liquid phase plays a pivotal role in causing internal corrosion within the venting pipeline of high-sulfur natural gas stations. The areas most severely affected by corrosion are identified as follows: at the blind end of pipeline tees (specifically at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions), near the blind end at 6 o’clock, at the air inlet (positions 3, 9, and 12 o’clock), at the air outlet (position 6 o’clock), and at elbows (positions 3, 6, and 9 o’clock). …”
