Pipeline Corrosion Monitoring System

Monitoring & Preventing Corrosion

The Importance of a Corrosion Monitoring System

Oil and gas companies need to be aware of how the corrosive environments they work in affect their equipment. Because plants and the machinery they use represent a sizable investment, it is critical to keep an eye on internal corrosion before it causes irreparable damage. It’s estimated that corrosion costs the global economy trillions of dollars every year, making the need for an effective continuous monitoring system critically important. A real-time corrosion rate monitoring system is exceptionally valuable because it determines how corrosive the surrounding environment is and tracks the rate of metal loss experienced by assets within the area.

There is a wide range of technologies typically employed in a corrosion monitoring system for pipelines and other assets, all working together to provide the most accurate picture of how equipment fares in a particular environment. Pipeline corrosion monitoring probes, sensors, and other elements need to be capable of providing accurate and reliable results each time they are used.

This is why so many in the industry turn to SMARTCORR® for an internal corrosion monitoring system.

The SMARTCORR® Corrosion Monitoring System provides real-time, actionable data that’s critical for preventing asset failure in oil and gas pipeline infrastructure. With the use of corrosion coupons and remote loggers integrated into plant systems, maintenance teams gain valuable insights into fluid corrosivity and pipeline integrity so they can make better-informed decisions. Our clients know they can trust us because of our extensive expertise and innovative approach to corrosion protection.

Corrosion coupons are inserted into the process stream, where they are exposed to the same conditions as the pipelines. They are removed periodically and weighed to determine the amount of metal loss the piping may be experiencing at certain points. On the other hand, electrical resistance probes monitor pipeline conditions constantly, sending back detailed information about the amount of corrosion. This is achieved through measuring the change in electrical resistance of a sacrificial element exposed to the process fluid. This change helps determine the average corrosion rate inside the pipeline. Both technologies have their place, and SMARTCORR®’s team of experts can help customers choose the right one for their needs.

SMARTCORR® online corrosion management systems vary significantly in complexity, from simple coupon exposures or handheld data loggers to fully integrated plant process surveillance units with remote data access and data management capabilities. It is advisable to use several complementary techniques rather than rely on a single monitoring method for the most effective corrosion control. Real-time monitoring of pipelines, vessels, and other static equipment enables a near-instantaneous appraisal of the corrosivity of produced and transported fluids.

Applications

Our early corrosion detection systems are used by oil and gas industry enterprises around the world. They depend on our solutions to provide them with real-time insights that tell them how their assets are holding up against corrosive conditions. This means they can take preventive measures to avoid asset failure that can lead to costly spills and disastrous environmental consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can SMARTCORR® systems be retrofitted to existing infrastructure?

Yes, our corrosion management systems can be easily configured to meet the needs of whatever your current infrastructure may be.

What is the minimum data logging interval?

This system has a minimum data logging interval of one second.

How do you calibrate corrosion sensors?

To calibrate corrosion sensors, you need to compare the readings you get from them to a known standard or else reference materials.
