Corrosion is defined as the deterioration of a metal or alloy due to a chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment. These materials are essential for the construction of infrastructures, platforms, tanks and pipes, among others, in the industry in general. In this article we will discuss corrosion in the Oil & gas industry.

Ultrasonic sensor networks monitor corrosion in real time, detect failures and reduce operating costs, increasing industrial safety.

Identifies problems such as electrical interference and high soil resistivity in cathodic protection systems.

Identifying and assessing CUI requires reliable methods in the face of physical barriers and hidden conditions.

Structures such as oil platforms, underwater pipelines and docks are constantly exposed to corrosive environments. The salinity of seawater, marine life, among others, contribute to speeding up this process. Therefore, it is imperative to take preventive measures. In this article, some considerations in the cathodic protection of these structures are presented.

The structural integrity of maritime constructions guarantees safety, operational efficiency and environmental sustainability. Corrosion of maritime structures is a natural electrochemical phenomenon that deteriorates metallic materials and intensifies under certain environmental conditions.

In Cathodic Protection, insulating joints are used to isolate different metal sections, which in contact could compromise the effectiveness of the control method. These gaskets are considerable, and must be durable, reliable and efficient to keep the system operating in optimal conditions.
