Abstract

Mild steels composed by two main elements, they are iron (Fe) and carbon (C) elements which is  widely used in industry  because of its resistance and more affordable in terms of cost  than stainless steel, but their weakness is that they have low corrosion resistance. One way to modify mild steel is by coating them with antioxidant compounds that can delay, slow down, and prevent lipid oxidation process, which is obtained from(Chrysophyllum-Albidum) Udara seed extract. This research work is aimed at producing organic corrosion inhibitor from(Chrysophyllum-Albidum) Udara seed extract. Also, to utilize this organic corrosion inhibitor as a substitute for chemical corrosion inhibitors which contain toxic compounds, and determining the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the Udara seed extract in Hydrochloric acid medium. This was carried out by weighing the mild steel pieces. Udara seed extract was also weighed and added into each of the transparent glass bottles that was used in the experiment. However,  10.0g Udara seed powder was added into bottle 1 containing 0.5m of the dilute tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid. 20.0g to bottle 2, containing the same concentration of the  acid.  30.0g to bottle 3, 40.0g to bottle 4, containing 0.5m of the dilute tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid. And 50.0g to bottle 5 containing the same acid, and Finally, bottle 6 was containing the mild steel metal and the dilute tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid. It was observed that the Udara seed extract effectively inhibited mild steel corrosion in H2SO4 solution. Inhibition efficiency was observed to improve with increase in concentration of the extract. It was generally observed that inhibition efficiency was low at the first hour and with the blank and the first concentration and gradually increases by the preceding hours and concentrations.

Abstract

Revolutionizing Lng Plant Construction and its Comprehensive Comparative Analysis And Evaluation Of Modular Design Development Versus Stick-Built Approach For Enhanced Efficiency And Cost-Effectiveness,.Although the utilization of modularization concepts in the LNG industry remains limited, this study focuses on exploring their potential. It is worth noting that modular units typically incur higher costs compared to field erected units due to the additional requirements of structural steel and robustness for transportation purposes.Nevertheless, the increased cost of modularization can often be balanced by conducting the work at the fabrication site instead of on-field construction. This approach reduces the overall project cost by minimizing field construction expenses and shortening the construction schedule. The objective of this paper is to assess and compare LNG modularization options for a newly established LNG facility in comparison to a conventional stick-built plant used as the base case.:The paper delves into various topics related to LNG plant construction, such as the development of modular units, a comprehensive comparison of different options, evaluation of construction schedules and manpower requirements, logistics considerations, and a recommended approach for design and construction. The cost estimates and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) schedules are meticulously compared for each option. Additionally, an inshore/near shore gravity base structure (GBS) option is included for further comparison. It is crucial to emphasize that establishing general costs is not possible as each project is distinct andrequires individual study and analysis.:Each project has unique characteristics, resulting in varying shapes of cost curves and break-even points. The outcomes of the feasibility evaluation play a crucial role in determining the extent to which the modular approach to construction is advantageous for the specific project at hand. The evaluation takes into consideration multiple factors to determine the potential benefits of adopting a modular construction approach, allowing decision-makers to make informed choices regarding the project's construction methodology
