Inaccurate corrosion predictions can lead to pipeline failures, environmental damage and expensive downtime.
For over two decades, ECE® (Electronic Corrosion Engineer) has been the leading tool for corrosion prediction and material selection.
In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll show you how the addition of Monte Carlo simulation can reduce uncertainty in corrosion modelling caused by the vast variability of input parameters.
With Monte Carlo, you can run multiple simulations with varying parameters for a thorough analysis of potential outcomes, resulting in more accurate and reliable predictions of corrosion rates.
The problem
Modelling corrosion in pipelines is difficult due to the many factors at play:
- Complexity and interdependency of parameters: Temperature, pressure, flow rate, composition and material properties can vary widely and interact unpredictably, making it difficult to create accurate models
- Variability and uncertainty: Pipeline and operating conditions can change frequently and can affect corrosion rates, introducing a high degree of uncertainty into corrosion predictions
- Computational challenges: Comprehensive assessments require a large volume of simulations, demanding significant computational resources and expertise
So, how can we model pipeline corrosion with reliable results?
The solution
By using Monte Carlo simulation, ECE® 5.9 can provide a workflow that ensures wide coverage of potential input parameters while keeping overall simulation requirements manageable:
- Handle large parameter spaces: ECE handles the vast array of variables involved in corrosion processes, ensuring that relevant factors can be considered
- Simplify simulation configuration: By incorporating a workflow for Monte Carlo simulation, ECE eliminates the need for manual setup and configuration of multiple simulations
- Optimise post-processing: ECE automates the analysis of simulation results, providing reliable outcomes without the need for extensive manual post-processing
With its advanced features and predictive capabilities, ECE® delivers a comprehensive scenario analysis to simplify decision-making, optimise maintenance planning and improve pipeline safety.
