The importance of the study of the impacts of deterioration in the flare of an offshore platform is based on the fact that the corrosion and failures of the components of the flare cause the occurrence of emergency shutdowns for maintenance, causing great economic losses. In addition, it is essential to be alerted that by operational issues of security, at all levels, the offshore rig that cannot produce oil and gas flare is not reliable; because of operating conditions, the risk of fire and explosion are inevitable. Here, potential damage conditions are identified in the structure of flare as well as in an evaluation of failures due to material cracking and degradation. Monitoring alternatives are proposed to avoid or reduce the emergency stops on the offshore platform.

Chromate and dichromate sodium as a function of oxidizer characteristics are used in several industrial areas; for example, in surface protection of coated parts of cadmium, zinc and aluminum (chromate coated treated), corrosion inhibitors, the treatment of leather, the manufacture of pigments, etc. However, the use of such products has been questioned due to the problems of toxicity and pollution that can be caused in the environmental. The Brazilian environmental agency has established that the concentrations of chromate in water courses are less than 0.5 ppm. In order to reuse chromate (CrO 4 2-) from industrial effluent, laboratory experiments have been proposed based on chemical reduction or electrolytic processes, in order to transform these chromate ions in a final mix of oxides (in solid form), which can then be packed and sent to the production process of sodium chromate. The results of these experiments have become useful industrially (without regard to costs) considering the environmental reuse and the life cycle of the chemical compound.
