Pipeline Corrosion

Corrosion is deterioration of essential properties in a material due to reactions with its environment. Pipeline corrosion limits pipeline flow, increases pig runs and wear, and deteriorates product delivery. Pipeline life is shortened because of pipeline corrosion.

Types and Costs of Corrosion in Pipelines

Some pipeline corrosion occurs slowly over decades of operation, but sometimes corrosion builds quickly and the costs of operating a pipeline escalate in a matter of a couple of year. Pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion, erosion corrosion, and environment-induced corrosion are some types of pipeline corrosion. The costs of pipeline corrosion are paid through your profits.

Internal Pipeline Coating & Corrosion Protection

If you are concerned about pipeline corrosion, call IPS to learn aout our internal pipeline coating process or pipeline rehabilitation. Our pipe coatings, sometimes called in-situ coating are performed with your pipeline in place.
