CONLUSIONS
Based on the presentations and discussions during Indocoating and Corrosion Summit 2008 Conference, the Conclusions are as follows:

1. Dr Budhi Darmadi (Director General of Transportation Equipment & Telematics, Ministry of Industry) shared the view that Indonesia consists of 17,508 islands and 80,000 kilometers (50,000 mil) of coastline, is the world's largest archipelagic state. The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the seventh century. Indonesian shipbuilding industry has proven that it has global competitiveness. This is visible by the export report from US$ 47,4 million in the year 2004, becoming US$ 354,2 million in the year 2007 or increased almost 7,50 times more (750%) only within two years. Number of shipbuilder in Indonesia which is counted ± 250 companies with capacities attached around 500.000 DWT/year for new building and around 6.000.000 DWT/year for ship repair. The biggest shipbuilding production facility measure up to 150.000 DWT (Graving dock) is also utilized to docking repair. In the first semester of 2008, On-Order project in Indonesia’s shipbuilding hit around 770.000 DWT (Fairplay magazine July 2008) The Indonesian government will have to come up with appropriate policies to encourage investment in the industry such as government’s commitment to fully open the investment valves through the formation of a prototype special economic zone for shipbuilding industries that is specially created to become the center for business and industrial development for local and foreign companies (multinationals) in shipbuilding industries and shipbuilding industrial clusters (Surabaya/KIKAS and Jakarta/ KIKAJAS).

1. Mr Robert Herbert (President NACE PInternational) encouraged NACE Indonesia Section for more training program related with coating and corrosion taking Indonesia which is still very limited presently referring to statistics that NACE Courses held in the region of 2007- 2008: China – 37 (CIP, CP, Refining), India – 13 (CIP), Indonesia – 2 (CIP), Japan – 17 (CIP, S-CAT) Korea – 14 (CIP), Malaysia – 9 (CIP), Singapore – 4 (CIP),  Thailand – 3 (CIP).

1. Dr Evita Legowo (Director General Oil & Gas) talked about role of oil & gas industries, oil and gas policy and regulation, oil & gas safety paradigm, draft of technical regulation and monitoring, standard of oil and gas related with coating and corrosions. Based on Ministerial Decree ESDM No. 15/2008 dated May 16th 2008 concerning OBLIGATORY OF INDONESIAN NATIONAL STANDARD OF PIPELINE SYSTEM SNI PIPELINE SYSTEM which based on SNI 13-3473-2002 (ASME/ANSI B.31-4), one of its requirements is the appropriate corrosion controls.  She was emphasized the importance of professional competency based on SKKNI (Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional Indonesia or Indonesian Standard of Professional Competency).

1. Dr. Yasuyoshi Tomoe (INPEX/ NACE Tokyo) on his paper entitled “The Effects of inhibition on Preferential Corrosion of Weldment in sweet gas gathering line”, stressed out the one type of inhibitors for weld metal together with different types of testing undertaken such as dynamic weight loss test, corrosion potential, polarization potential, and microstructure observation. He further concluded that at least 500 ppm of the inhibitor is required to properly control the PCW (Preferential Corrosion of Weldment), the portion of selective corrosion varies with inhibitor concentration, and about 0.5% Mo effectively controls the selective localized corrosion of the weld metal.

1. Dr Yves M. Gunaltun (Corrosion Expert of TOTAL France) on his presentation about “Qualification of composite systems for the repair of pipelines and risers”, pinpointed that severe degradation of riser coatings and pipe coatings have been experienced  on the pipelines operated in the Delta of Mahakam riser coatings failures are generally due to bad application. Severe corrosion was observed on the risers pipeline coating  and field joint coatings were the results of inappropriate coating selection, bad application, ageing and mechanical damages. Therefore, there are four products selected for the testing: Clockspring, 3X Reinforcekit, Strongback, and Fortec. The objective of the testings are to evaluate the gap between the performance of the existing systems and our requirements, then to work closely with manufacturers to improve the characteristics of the repair systems and to complete them by additional components if needed (application of anticorrosion coating, for example). Following qualification program with 4 products,  Total continued cooperation with manufacturers: to improve the performance of the proposed systems, to define the limits (especially temperature) and domain of use of each system, to complete the repair systems with suitable anticorrosion coatings. In conclusion, significant improvements have been achieved with all four products.

1. Dr Atte Sugandi (House Speaker of Republic of Indonesia) said that it is important to formulate the law of corrosion and to impose it appropriately to all industries.

1. Mr Christopher P. Dorsey (Senior Manager of TIB-Chemicals AG, Germany) who presented “Multi-Component Liquid Polyurethane for Pipeline Rehabilitation”, mentioned that appointment of qualified & approved applicators / contractors is paramount important. Experience and proven track record in the application of, Multi Component Liquid Coating Systems is also important. Results, Surface preparation, application of the new coating and final testing, completed to the specification requirements / criteria.

1. Mr Tushar Jhaveri (NACE Regional Director of East Asian & Pacific) presented Cost of Corrosion – Degenerative Effects in India. The summary is that Cost of Corrosion is significant to all industrialized nations – India is no exception. This creates enormous opportunities for firms practicing in corrosion mitigating technologies. Rapidly growing economies like India present the corrosion market with even greater business opportunities. There are a wide variety of corrosion controlling technologies available in the world today each with its own special advantages, economics and market fit.

1. Mr Mike Broadman (President, Australasian Corrosion Association) shared on The Cost of Corrosion in New Zealand - A Case Study for which he proposed Broadman’s theory that “Corrosion cost is proportional to Electrical production”, however this is a extremely “blunt” tool to calculate the cost of corrosion. Industry groups could develop corrosion cost models. Government funding and industry co-operation needed.

1. Dr Gde Pranyana (Expert of Executive Body of Upstream Oil & Gas) presented “Corrosion Monitoring on Oil & Gas Production Facilities” He concluded each contractor in the oil and gas industry should have asset system monitoring in order to evaluate every condition of the equipment so that predicted capital and operational costs for future need could be properly reported to BPMIGAS in order to appropriately monitoring all assets managed by the contractors.

1. Mr Bob Phang (NACE Malaysia) presented “Updtae on Corrosion Control” related with Conscious Reliability Program, Continuous Monitoring Program, Mandate Improvement Made , Appreciation of implementators, utilized inventions, technology and Safety in Operation and Zero Defect Aims.

1. Mr Kenneth Noeranger Olsen (Hempel Singapore): Very low rust creep can be obtained by high zinc loading (88 to 92 % by weight), however, resulting in poor mechanical properties. Partial replacement of zinc with active pigments decreases rust creep while maintaining mechanical integrity – as done with the new Hempadur Pro Zinc 17380

1. Mr Sofyan Pahlevi (Total E&P Indonesie) ,For new projects on congested/complex “plant” area containing dissimilar metal such as coated steel pipe, copper /grounding and steel in concrete: CP designer should have to consider the distribution/placement of the anode particularly  where  dissimilar metal  is located very close each other in a low resistivity area. to consider by using less reactive metal as grounding / earthing main material instead of bare copper metal. For efficient current distribution, steel reinforced concrete walls are recommended to be provided with electrical insulating layers of plastic or bitumen at the wall entrance of pipes and at least 1 meter around them and up to the soil surface.  This is also recommended if the pipelines are laid close in soil parallel to steel reinforced concrete foundations.

1. Mr Theo M. Samosir (Total E&P Indonesie) presented “Pipeline Integrity Management. Practical approach. Sufficient remaining wall-thickness. either an appropriate paint coating or the application of a thin layer of the composite type repair. Enhancement of the pressure containment capability of the remaining pipe wall (composite repair). When a reinforcement repair is required, there is also the necessity to provide the capabilities of an anti-corrosion coating. Advantage of composite coating are avoiding cutting and replacing sections of pipe. Can either be applied live or with minimal shutdowns for depressurisation only. Reduce the costs associated with production loss in a network where there is limited excess capacity

1. Dr Bryan Shedden (BlueScope Steel Research) presented on “Corrosion Performance of 55%Al-Zn Coated Steel”. He said that 55%Al-Zn coated steel has superior corrosion performance to equivalent galvanized steel, This superiority is maintained even at low coating masses such as AS50 and AS70. The conclusion is supported by the results of accelerated laboratory testing, predictions from mass loss testing, long-term exposure testing, and long-term building surveys. These excellent results apply to the environmental conditions experienced with roofing products in a broad range of locations in Asia and Australia. These findings were used during the review of SNI 4096:1996, culminating in the addition of AS50, AS70 and AS100 coating classes to the 2007 edition of the standard.

1. Mr Harkesh Mehta (President Director, Polyline Elastomer Asia) taked about “Surface Protection of Plant & Equipments by Polymeric Lining in Indonesia”. He share the limitation of polimer lining i.e, Success very much depends upon surface preparation. Steel & Concrete substrate have to be suitably designed & prepared so that lining can be appropriately applied. Blasting quality & surface profile have to be achieved for durable linings. More than 80% of pre-mature failures can be attributed to above two reasons.

1. Mr Hanung Andriyanto (PT Badak NGL) presented paper on “CIPS & DCVG Application to Detect Coating Defect on the Burred Pipe” concluded that the repair is recommended to %IR category 2 as per NACE 0502-2002 explanation and planned to be concentrated to certain points that have more than 20% of %IR.

1. Mr Abdul Quim Bani (ConocoPhillips China) talked about Corrosion Risk Management and compare between corrosion management and mismanagement

1. Mr Rian Ashari (Total E&P Indonesie) presented “Coating Maintenance Strategy in a Marine Environment”: Marine support adds cost to coating maintenance in marine environment.

1. Mr Mark Edgar Lewis (CEO, PT MPE Deepwater Batam) presented ”Improvements in Offshore Cathodic Protection Retrofits”related with CP Retrofit Design Considerations, Usually some degree of polarization remaining, Design life extension may be limited, hence not necessary to optimize protective potential levels, Able to measure the existing polarization characteristics (CD vs potential), Able to monitor anode and cathode responses during retrofit, and adjust, if necessary. He share about CP retrofit strategy of pipeline and platforms.

1. Mr Lambert H. Prust (Director, Imbema Pacific Indonesia) which represents Denso products revealed that proper corrosion management for steel jetty piles can be extended up to 50 years life time. He mentioned that Seashield products’ series of Denso can be used for splash zone, pipe cap protection, internal corrosion, and in conjuction with cathodic protection.

1. Mr JF Doddema (VP, Stopac) which presented the Stopaq visco elastic pipeline coatings introduced the latest technology of polar, visco-elastic, polymer polyolefin coating that has the advantage over corrosion protection and mechanical strength. He stressed out that this kind of coatings never cracks, has good adhesion, and no problem with cathodic disbondment, likewise, it is suitable for field joint and pipe rehabilitation, and can be used for submerged application.

1. Mr Shabbir Munaverali (McDermott Indonesia) in his presentation entitled “The Role of SSPC Certified Coatings Contractors in Indonesia”, stressed out that today’s market place & advanced coating systems require owners to be more selective when awarding projects. That’s why hiring SSPC certified company provides advantages of assurance of getting a competent contractor, working towards clear & concise project specs., consistent inspection criteria, and relatively safe & reliable project work. He further mentioned the company choose SSPC because is a non-profit association as the leading source of information on: Surface preparation, Coatings Selection, Coatings Application, Environmental Regulations, Health & Safety Issues that affect the protective coatings industry. He finally concluded that SSPC Certified Contractor Program is an internationally recognized certification programs that are based on consensus standards developed by diverse committee of industry professionals

1. Prof Robert J. Stango (University of Marquette University/ Beltcare) who brought a topic on bristle blasting process for surface preparation claimed that the contact mechanics and surface generated by Bristle Blasting Tool closely resembles the grit/shot blasting process. Bristle velocity increases 125% by strategically placing an obstruction (accelerator bar) into the oncoming path of the rotating bristles and the result would be comparable to SSPC SP5 and SP10 for White Metal Cleaning and Near-White Metal Cleaning.

1. Mr Sigit Wibisono (Total E&P Indonesie) on his presentation about Green Corrosion Inhibitor as Solution to the Environmental Challenges emphasized that Green corrosion inhibitors are available and by having proper selection process could provide the same protection performance as conventional inhibitors. User Company must socialize the environmental requirements to Vendor. Vendor must supply the complete and proper data for the evaluation and More stringent requirements are needed to ensure all submitted products during the selection are met with the environmental requirements.

1. Mr Geir Instances (VP, ClampOn Bergen Norway) who spoke on Non-Intrusive Corrosion Erosion Monitoring revealed that the cost effective solution for assessing wall thickness loss in pipelines - quantitatively - using Guided Wave technology to optimize output is the use of Non-Intrusive Ultrasonic Intelligent Sensors for Corrosion and Erosion Monitoring.

• Mr Cornelis Cees Ball (Managing Director, Linscan) who presented on Seamless Integration of pipeline inspection data into Integrity Management System disclosed that individual corrosion spots are needed to monitor and this is a real technical challenge in pipeline inspection due to the shear numbers involved. Therefore, it needs to overcome this challenge so that we can monitor growth of each individual corrosion spot by implementing artificial intelligence for predictive computer modelling.
