Electrochemical Noise(ECN) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscope (EIS) measurements were made simultaneously in a 75 mm I.D., 10 m long acrylic pipeline using salt-water/carbon dioxide mixtures. Full pipe flow was studied for liquid velocities of 0.5,0.75, 1.1, 1.5 m/s and slug flow for Froude numbers 4, 6 and 9. Experiments were carried out at a constant pressure of 136 kPa and temperature of 40°C. ECN data were measured with a fast auto zero resistance ammeter. The ECN technique is able to detect changes in flow regime, showing distinct differences between fill pipe flow and slug flow. The choice of sampling
rate when using ECN is very important. For slug flows, sampling rates as high as 100 Hz are necessary to include most of the transients in the flow. Distinct differences can be seen in the Fast Fourier Transforms
where dominant frequencies exist which correspond to possible bubble action in the slug body. EIS can be used to measure corrosion rate in muhiphase flows. It does show an increase in the corrosion rate with
liquid flow rates for fill pipe flow and Froude numbers for stationary slug flow. A simple statistical analysis of ECN response gives a correlation with corrosion rate. These show ECN could be a very powerful tool
for determining corrosion rate and corrosion mechanism in multiphase flow.
