Corrosion in the Piping System

Reducing corrosion rates in oil and gas piping systems using environmentally friendly Merus technology.

Corrosion is the single largest maintenance cost in the oil and gas industry. Pipeline corrosion leads to leaks, environmental contamination, safety hazards, and costly repairs or replacements.

In this application, a production facility was experiencing accelerated internal corrosion in their carbon steel piping. Corrosion coupons showed rates exceeding acceptable limits, and several leak incidents had occurred.

Merus Rings were installed at strategic points in the piping system. Within three months, corrosion coupon measurements showed a significant reduction in corrosion rates. After six months, rates had stabilized well within acceptable operating limits.
