Cathodic Protection Monitoring In Water And Wastewater Systems

In 2002 NACE International published a cost of corrosion study backed by the U. S. Federal Highway and Safety Administration estimating the annual cost of corrosion in the U. S. to be $276 billion. In the more detailed breakdown of these costs by industry/market segment the cost associated with the water and wastewater utilities segment in the “Utilities” category was estimated at $36 billion. The water and wastewater utilities segment represented the single largest cost segment in the study. The $36 billion estimate for this single segment of the Utilities category represented more cost than any of the other four categories: Transportation, Infrastructure, Government, and Manufacturing & Production.

Web-based remote monitoring is widely used in the oil and gas pipeline industry to ensure corrosion protection systems are functioning reliably. The water and wastewater industries are not subject to the same regulatory mandates governing the oil and gas industry but are no less a part of the critical infrastructure. As these systems age and fail, the effects go beyond cost and inconvenience into potentially significant public health and safety issues. The water and wastewater industries deal with different challenges than the oil and gas pipeline industry. The budgets available for equipment and personnel for corrosion management are significantly lower. The materials requiring corrosion protection are much more varied, and there are typically less personnel within the organization trained to meet and overcome the challenges of implementing and maintaining effective corrosion prevention systems. This paper shows some case studies of municipal water and wastewater systems that successfully use web-based monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrosion protection systems, enabling the personnel resources available in the organization to focus on proactive, preventive maintenance and system improvement.

Other than some municipal water systems in the western US, corrosion prevention and the regular maintenance of the upkeep and repair of corrosion prevention systems is not widely seen in the water industry. Municipal utilities suffer from budget constraints, lack of experienced and well-trained personnel, and corrosion challenges that differ from those on typical oil or gas pipelines due to material differences, etc. Municipalities in areas of the US where water is considered more valuable than simply a convenient commodity have focused more on proactive pipeline integrity than have municipalities in the US as a whole. One result of this is a need to provide a few trained personnel within an organization with the data necessary to focus their efforts on preventing corrosion issues rather than reacting to pipeline failures. Remote monitoring provides a reliable and cost-effective means through which that critical data can be provided to the proper personnel.

In the recent years, the reduction of the environmental footprint of industrial processes is gaining momentum, targeting the carbon neutrality. This also involves Aluminum industry, in which the use of secondary (e.g. recycled) alloys is a possible solution in order to decrease the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Indeed, raw materials produced starting from secondary Aluminum show GHG emission values up to one order of magnitude lower with respect to their primary equivalents.
