05188 Role of Alkalization in AC Induced Corrosion of Pipelines and Consequences Hereof in Relation to CP Requirements

Picture for 05188 Role of Alkalization in AC Induced Corrosion
Available for download

In the present paper, characteristics of the AC corrosion problem are demonstrated using laboratory results and field measurements as examples.  Evidence has been given that the AC corrosion mechanisms involve alkalization of the environment nearby the coating defect, and in combination with AC, corrosion may be induced.

In the present paper, characteristics of the AC corrosion problem are demonstrated using laboratory results and field measurements as examples.  Evidence has been given that the AC corrosion mechanisms involve alkalization of the environment nearby the coating defect, and in combination with AC, corrosion may be induced.  Accordingly, besides the level of induced AC voltage, the CP level has a dramatic influence on the AC corrosion process. Excessive CP increases the AC corrosion rate and should therefore be avoided. Increasing the CP seems definitely to be the wrong solution to a potential AC corrosion problem.

Keywords: AC corrosion mechanisms, alkalization, cathodic protection requirements.

02111 NEW CP CRITERIA FOR ELIMINATION OF THE RISKS OF AC CORROSION AND OVERPROTECTION ON CATHODICALLY PROTECTED PIPELINES

Product Number: 51300-02111-SG

New cathodic protection (CP) criteria were developed based on AC and DC current densities measured using coupons. Using these criteria, the design of CP systems for newly constructed pipelines, paralleling high voltage AC power lines, and  DC rail transit systems, was successfully performed.

04192 Integrity Assessment of Pipeline Networks Through Close-Interval Potential Survey

Product Number: 51300-04192-SG
ISBN: 04192 2004 CP

A close-interval potential (CIP) data survey on ~154 km of Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. This aim was to generate corrosion data to determine weak sections of the pipelines/flowlines and, to ascertain the effectiveness of the CP system and integrity of the Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. The pipeline networks were found safe for continued operation under its present condition.
