    David Kanu
    The document is a presentation on pipeline external corrosion protection methods. It discusses cathodic protection (CP) and pipeline external coatings. CP involves connecting the metal pipeline to a sacrificial anode to divert corrosion to the anode. There are two types of CP - galvanic which uses passive sacrificial anodes, and impressed current which uses an external current source. Common pipeline coatings include tape, asphalt, epoxy and polyethylene which form a barrier between the pipe and corrosive environment. The presentation covers the history of CP, applications, problems, and concludes that proper use of coatings and CP can significantly extend the lifespan of pipelines.

    INTRODUCTION
    PIPELINE EXTERNAL

    CORROSION
    Corrosion can be defined as a
    deterioration of a metal, due to
    chemical or electrochemical
    interactions between the metal
    and its environment.
    The unprotected/unburied
    pipelines, exposed to the
    atmosphere or submerged in
    water are susceptible to
    corrosion in external pipe
    surfaces, and without proper
    control / maintenance may
    1
    3 corrode.
    E.g steel pipelines

    1. CATHODIC PROTECTION

    HISTORY

    first described by Sir Humphry Davy in a series of papers

    presented to the Royal Society in London in 1824.


    Sacrificial anodes made from iron attached to the
    copper sheath of the hull below the waterline
    dramatically reduced the corrosion rate of the copper.
    Davy was assisted by his pupil Michael Faraday, who
    continued his research after Davy's death. In 1834,
    Faraday discovered the quantitative connection between
    corrosion weight loss and electric current and thus laid
    the foundation for the future application of cathodic
    protection.
    Thomas Edison experimented with impressed current
    cathodic protection on ships in 1890, but was
    unsuccessful due to the lack of a suitable current source

    CATHODIC PROTECTION
    Is a technique used to control the corrosion of

    a metal surface by making it the cathode of an


    electrochemical cell.
    It involves connecting the metal to be

    protected to a more easily corroded "sacrificial


    metal" to act as the anode(which undergoes
    corrosion instead of parent metal).
    Common applications are: steel water or fuel

    pipelines and steel storage tanks such as home

    TYPES OF CATHODIC PROTECTION


    a) Galvanic Cathodic Protection(GCP)
    b) Impressed Current Cathodic Protection(ICCP)

    GALVANIC CATHODIC PROTECTION


    Involves passive cathodic protection.
    A galvanic anode(piece of a more electrochemically "active"

    metal), is attached to the vulnerable metal surface where it is


    exposed to an electrolyte.
    Galvanic anodes are selected because they have a more "active"
    voltage than the metal of the target structure (typically steel).
    For effective cathodic protection, the Esteel surface is polarized
    (pushed) more negative until the surface has a uniform potential.
    Galvanic anode continues to corrode, consuming the anode
    material until eventually it must be replaced. Polarization of the
    target structure = Electron flow from the anode to the cathode.
    Galvanic or sacrificial anodes are made in various shapes and

    sizes using alloys of zinc, magnesium and aluminium.


    NOTE- In order for galvanic cathodic protection to work, the
    anode must possess a lower (that is, more negative) electrode
    potential than that of the cathode

    IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC


    PROTECTION(ICCP)
    Used in large structures for long-

    term operations where electrolyte


    resistivity is high, galvanic anodes
    cannot economically deliver enough
    current to provide protection.
    An impressed current is applied in
    the opposite direction to nullify the
    corrosion current, converting
    corroding metal from anode to
    cathode.
    Impressed current is from a DC
    source(battery or rectifier), routed
    to AC line with insoluble
    anode(Graphite, scrap iron,high
    silica iron, platinum etc).

    PIPELINE EXTERNAL COATINGS


    Oldest common form for corrosion controls.
    Use of coated surface to isolate the underlying metal from

    corroding environment.
    Highly efficient at reducing the current demand for cathodic
    protection. However, they are not feasible for supplying
    sufficient electrical current to protect a bare pipeline.
    Coatings must have good adhesion to the pipe surface to
    resist disbondment and degradation by biological organisms,
    which abound in seawater.
    Examples include: Tape wrap;
    Asphalt;
    Coal tar enamel;
    Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE);
    Cigarette wrap polyethylene (PE);
    Extruded thermoplastic PE and polypropylene (PP).

    CONCLUSION
    Oil and gas products are transported from subsea wells

    to platforms in multiphase flow without using a


    separation process. Corrosion, scale formation, and
    salt accumulation represent increasing challenges for
    the operation of subsea multiphase pipelines.
    Cathodic Protection and use of external coatings, aid in
    the protection as well as reduction of effect of
    corrosion.
    Cathodic Protection are of two types: GCP and ICCP.
    Some of the applications are used for pipelines, ships
    and boats, marine etc.
    Proper application of the use of cathodic protection
    and pipeline coatings can go a long way in enhancing
    the long term use of a metal.
