Cathodic Protection (CP) is most important technique for protection of underground pipes and metallic structures from corrosion. Corrosion is responsible for metal loss thus weakening the structure, which results into premature failure of underground structure. Thus causing huge economic loss, supply disruptions, environmental pollution besides loss of the company's reputation and penal actions. CP surveys […]

Pipeline are the most reliable, efficient, safe, and economic mode of transport for oil, gas, hydrocarbons, and water. Rightly considered as lifelines of modern industrial infrastructure, steel pipelines are vulnerable to atmospheric corrosion above ground and electrolytic corrosion in underground / marine environments. Pipeline corrosion can result in colossal losses and create safety hazards for […]

Protective Coatings are the most widely used method to control and/or mitigate corrosion. Protective coatings are the first line of defence against the costly effects of corrosion and are designed to prevent or limit contact between a structure's surface (usually steel or concrete) and its corrosive environment. When a coating system is properly selected and […]

City Gas Distribution (CGD) is the fastest-growing end user segment in India's burgeoning economy and to form an integral part of the country's economic development. To promote the development of CGD network, the Government has accorded priority in domestic gas allocation to PNG (Domestic) and CNG (Transport) segments. It has become imperative to have a […]

The Basics corrosion and mitigation methods program covers the concepts of corrosion, causes of corrosion and the methods by which corrosion is identified and mitigated. In the current business environment, corrosion failures may involve personal injuries, fatalities, unscheduled shutdowns, contaminated product and environmental damage. However the lack of knowledge and experience in corrosion and corrosion […]

The Oil and Gas Demand is increasing and to cater that we have so many underground pipelines in the country / global level. The power demand is also increasing, so power companies are installing new AC/DC powerlines. Mitigation of AC/DC interference is challenging due to the common pipeline corridor and the common pipeline and powerline […]

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) has been reported to influence many industry operations. it can accelerate most of corrosion, including uniform, pitting, crevice, galvanic, intergranular, and stress corrosion cracking. The major microbial problem in the oil and gas industry is in storage tanks, transportation pipelines and other water networks, which can lead to loss of product […]

Failure is not an option. In high risk, high-value industries, such as oil and gas production, refining, nuclear and thermal power, aviation, shipping etc., corrosion failures have many repercussions: loss of money, loss of production, safety and environment damage. Best industry practices are implemented to avert or minimize corrosion failures. But failures still happen. Wise […]
