Internal Corrosion for Pipelines-Advanced
Introduction
Internal Corrosion for Pipelines-Advanced
Objectives
Determine if internal corrosion exists by evaluating a set of criteria to identify and apply monitoring techniques such as:
Properly select inspection techniques including:
Determine when mitigation is required and the appropriate mitigation methods to utilize including maintenance pigging, physical design changes, and operational modifications
-
- Corrosion coupons
- Electrical field mapping
- Ultrasonic testing
- Linear polarization and electrical resistance probes
- Hydrogen and microbiological monitoring
- Identify the types of corrosion, influencing key environmental variables, and methods to control corrosion
- Monitor corrosion through devices and tests, including analysis of gas, liquid and sludge/solid samples, coupons, and electrical probes
- Examine exposed surfaces and be able to determine the root cause of corrosion
- Proper selection of mitigation methods such as:
- Chemical treatment by biocides and corrosion inhibitors
- Facilities maintenance including the use of pigs, clearing drips, and clearing valves
- Internal coatings
- Cathodic protection only for internal protection of tanks
- Facility design considerations
