- In seawater handling systems, the available well tubing materials are Glass Reinforced Epoxy lined low alloy steel or Corrosion Resistant Alloy's (CRA) such as super duplex stainless steel. However, in treated seawater the corrosion risk can be controlled so that lower grade alloys can be considered. Recent efforts have focused attention on better dissolved oxygen controls which permits the investigation and possible use of more cost effective materials such as the duplex stainless steel UNS S82551. Full scale corrosion testing of tubes joined together with a proprietary premium threaded connection was performed in controlled seawater loops simulating service conditions at 30° C. The flow rate and dissolved oxygen were controlled at 5 m/s and <20ppb, respectively. Weekly dissolved oxygen excursions corresponding to 24h at 100ppb followed by 1 hour at 300ppb were included during the 5 months exposure. Corrosion results of UNS S82551 tubing were compared to UNS S31803 and UNS S39274. In parallel, laboratory exposures of coupons were performed in dissolved oxygen controlled cells with and without CREVCORR crevice formers, allowing the measurement of electrochemical potentials as function of dissolved oxygen content (e. g. biofilm ennoblement monitoring) and the related corrosion resistance. The results showed that dissolved oxygen content should be properly controlled below critical values to avoid crevice corrosion of the lesser alloyed duplex stainless steels. In the full scale loop test, UNS S82551 tubes did not exhibit crevice corrosion at threaded connection interfaces under the defined test conditions.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report a one-pot two-step synthesis of a bioactive 6-amino-2-pyridone-3,5-dicarbonitrile derivative using natural product catalysts betaine and guanidine carbonate. Anti-cancer bioactivity was observed in specific molecules within the library of 16 derivatives. Out of the compounds, 5o had the most potent anti-cancer activity against glioblastoma cells and was selected for further study. Compound 5o showed anti-cancer properties against liver, breast, lung cancers as well as primary patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines. Furthermore, 5o in combination with specific clinically relevant small molecule inhibitors induced enhanced cytotoxicity in glioblastoma cells. Through our current work, we establish a promising 6-amino-2-pyridone-3,5-dicarbonitrile based lead compound with anti-cancer activity either on its own or in combination with specific clinically relevant small molecule kinase and proteasome inhibitors.
