We present a procedure to estimate the remaining service life of an impressed current groundbed using data analytics techniques to combine the various manually and remotely collected measurements, and rectifier groundbed metadata. Multiple data sources, including commissioning data, annual survey data, remote monitoring data were combined to create a consolidated dataset spanning over ten years for each impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) rectifier groundbed. Using advanced analytics algorithms applied to ICCP rectifier groundbed sites, weighting factors have been calculated to determine the influence of each dataset on the estimated groundbed remaining service life. This work builds on previous presentations at AMPP Corrosion 2021 and 2022, where seasonality and historic trends in rectifier resistance measurements were modelled. By including additional datasets describing the location at the time of installation and the historic survey measurements, a more robust prediction can be made.

Design and Implementation of an Offshore Remote Monitoring System for Corrosion, Coating and Cathodic Protection Performance

Product Number: 51323-19265-SG

Author: Andreas Junker Olesen, Lars Vendelbo Nielsen, Lisbeth Rischel Hilbert, Frank Fontenay

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Remote monitoring of corrosion and cathodic protection using various methods have matured for decades with the onshore pipeline industry. With increasing activity offshore, and the highly corrosive and inaccessible environment taken into consideration, it is only natural that remote monitoring technology will find its way into this field. Offshore structures of steel are protected against corrosion with protective coatings and/or cathodic protection.

LoRaWAN – The Future of Remote Sensing Technology

Product Number: MECC23-19983-SG

Author: Mitchell Gribi

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

We live in a data driven world where technology is constantly evolving and making our lives easier, but even with this progression, industrial facilities are still struggling with the lack of reliable and sufficient data. LoRa has the capability to affordably expand remote sensing technologies in industrial applications, thereby improving operational efficiency, automating processes, and improving safety. With several different types of sensors available, and many more being created every year, LoRa is set to become the industry standard for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Measuring IR-Free Potential: Analysis of the Remaining IR Components in the Off Measurements and Importance of the Design of SRE with Integrated Coupon to Obtain it.

Product Number: 51323-18803-SG

Author: Ivano Magnifico

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

As known, ISO 15589-1 and SP0169 protection criteria refers to IR-Free potentials values to be met by applying cathodic protection to limit corrosion rate and, at the same time, to avoid overprotection: in this respect, according to the type of currents influencing the metallic structure, European standard EN 13509 proposes different measurement techniques for measuring IR Free potential.

Remote Monitoring Survey

Product Number: 51323-19260-SG

Author: Andreas Junker Olesen, Lars Vendelbo Nielsen

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Remote monitoring is becoming an increasingly more accepted way of gathering data from test stations. Not only because the value of having continuous data often exceeds that of performing spot-wise measurements in time, but also because the cost of collecting data manually is getting higher. Still, regulations require annual surveys to document the safe operation of pipeline CP systems.

The Latest Developments on Cathodic Protection Technologies in China

Product Number: MECC23-19994-SG

Author: Yanxia Du; Feng Gu; Te Ke; Zitao Jiang

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The progress of science and technology, and the large-scale construction of infrastructures, not only bring about challenges to cathodic protection (CP), but also provide new opportunities for CP technologies. Challenges and opportunities promote the development of the CP technologies. In recent years, CP technology has achieved great development particularly in the following four aspects: first, numerical simulation calculation technology of cathodic protection, which has made remarkable achievements in theoretical research and practical application; second, data remote monitoring technology of cathodic protection, which has improved the management level of cathodic protection system by combining wireless transmission system and GPRS network; third, great progress has been made in the aspects of AC and DC stray current corrosion mechanism, evaluation method and elimination technology; fourth, the development of photocathodic protection technology.

Use of data analytics techniques to compare daily RMU coupon readings with CIS survey results

Product Number: 51323-19318-SG

Author: Matt Barrett, William Maize, Mill Jawed, Errin Wright, Tony da Costa

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Close interval surveys (CIS) and remote monitoring units (RMUs) can be used as complimentary technologies, essential for validating safe operation of a cathodic protection (CP) system. CIS on a pipeline is typically performed once every few years due to the high cost and time commitment of the process, but the benefit is a high spatial resolution of measurements, with typical spacings between reading locations on the metre length-scale. RMUs installed at test posts with a typical spacing of multiple kilometres between units can be used to measure comparable electrical readings year-round without requiring a human to physically travel to each location.

Visualizing Correlations of Water Quality and Cathodic Protection Parameters

Product Number: 51323-19333-SG

Publication Date: 2023

Corrosion is responsible for the deterioration of steel structures over time. Thus, there are billions of dollars lost each year worldwide, due to leakage of materials transported in metallic pipelines, as well as the need for repair and replacement of materials. Cathodic protection is one of the main ways to minimize or even suspend the corrosive process, along with the application of protective coatings on metallic structures.

Yeah, Examining the Impact of Overprotection on AC Corrosion: A Case Study Investigation

Product Number: 51324-20877-SG

Author: Ivano Magnifico

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

The risk of AC corrosion has always been linked in particular to the parallelisms of underground pipelines with HVAC lines, especially in those geographical areas where the morphology of the territory creates obligatory so-called "technological corridors", and therefore forces the coexistence of different services over long distances. More recently, the greater diffusion of AC-powered railway networks has further increased the AC interfering sources, while the use of more performing coatings on underground pipelines has on the one hand increased their insulation from the surrounding soil, and on the other has increased the risk of overprotection compared to old, less performing, or more degraded coatings. This paper, starting from a real case found in a gas distribution network in a European big city, will present the normative criteria to be used to keep the AC corrosion risk under control, and will highlight how precisely the simultaneous presence of cathodic overprotection may result in an autocatalytic cycle leading to accelerated AC corrosion, in which monitoring becomes essential in order to be able to carry out on time the appropriate corrective actions.
