Corrosion Monitoring & Cathodic Protection (CP)
A corrosion monitoring program provides comprehensive monitoring of all critical components of industrial objects, assets, facilities and plants for signs of corrosion. For reliable operation, it is important to identify the location, rate, and underlying causes of corrosion.
Corrosion Monitoring can provide significant advantages when integrated into both preventative maintenance and the processes inherent to safety management programs.
Based on the results of the Corrosion Monitoring program, informed decisions can be made to towards mitigation using Cathodic Protection, not only regarding the remaining life of the object affected by corrosion but also regarding life extension strategies, prospective material selection, and cost-effective methods for remedy of corrosion issues and problems.
Uncontrolled corrosion can cause leaks and component failures, bringing about a reduction in both the performance and reliability of important equipment. In extreme cases, corrosion can lead to unexpected failures that can be costly in terms of repair costs, environmental damage and potential harm to humans.
