Cathodic Protection & Corrosion Control

What is Cathodic Protection & Corrosion Control?

Cathodic Protection. This type of pipeline corrosion protection works by placing electrically charged catalysts at certain proximity to the protected structure or pipeline. By releasing electric current away from the pipeline, corrosive agents like water are neutralized, preventing them from reaching the surface of the material. 

 

This type of protection is commonly used for underground pipes.  

 

Pipelines serve as the lifeline of water and petroleum industries. With the use of pipelines, companies greatly reduce transportation costs of water, fuels and other petrochemicals. However, keeping the pipe free from corrosive agents is a consistent struggle as weakened pipes due to corrosion can result to economical and environmental losses. Weakened pipes due to corrosion result to economical and environmental losses.

 

Without the right corrosion management programs to mitigate the effects of corrosion, pipelines will reach the limit of their service usability sooner than expected.
