In this episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast, Logan Ballard, Key Account Manager, Energy, Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine, explores how asset owners can take a proactive approach to corrosion prevention throughout the entire asset lifecycle.

From design-phase specification decisions to maintenance and rehabilitation strategies, Logan shares practical insights on reducing corrosion risk, extending asset life and lowering total cost of ownership. Listeners will learn how new coating technologies are helping owners improve fabrication efficiency, mitigate corrosion under insulation (CUI) and even eliminate CUI risks altogether through alternative thermal insulation approaches.

Logan discusses:

• How early design and specification decisions influence long-term maintenance costs and asset reliability
• Ways fast-curing coating technologies can improve fabrication shop throughput and accelerate project schedules
• The role of advanced coating systems in protecting various equipment operating in demanding environments
• How thermally insulative coatings can serve as an alternative to traditional insulation systems while eliminating the risk of CUI
• Strategies for reducing maintenance costs, minimising operational disruptions and extending service life
• The importance of technical support, applicator training and proper installation practices in achieving long-term performance.
