Authors: Charles, Watiminyo James, Izionworu, Vincent Onuegbu, Orji Charles U. Wan Nik, W. M. N. B. and James, Richard VictorBreakdown of Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading systems (FPSOs) due to corrosion has been a major cause of downtime in FPSO operating in various regions. A major cause of corrosion in the FPSO is the radiation from jet flame of gas flare stack installed on FPSO. Although gas flaring on the FPSO is very resourceful…
