Nathaniel G. Sutton

Mr. Sutton has developed E2G’s abilities in accelerated creep testing, high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) modeling, and creep and creep crack growth data analysis. He has audited refinery units for HTHA risks, performed fire damage assessments, and consulted on numerous projects related to metallurgy, corrosion, and risk-based inspection (RBI). He has hands-on welding experience, which he has used to provide guidance on weld repairs, hot taps, and fabrication problems. Mr. Sutton has presented at NACE, API, and MTI conferences on topics including HTHA, hot taps/in-service welding, and corrosion in renewable fuels applications.

Prior to joining E2G, Mr. Sutton worked in refineries for BP on a variety of projects including wireless ultrasonic thickness sensors, improved infrared thermography practices for fired heater inspections, refinery-wide special-emphasis inspection programs for amine piping systems at two refineries, and development of refinery procedures and data management tools for cathodic protection inspection programs. Mr. Sutton has participated in turnaround internal inspection activities, led root-cause failure analyses for multiple clients, and provided fire damage support to clients since 2018.
