For example, on Australia’s North West coast, the shore crossing for one offshore field is on Barrow Island, where there are strictly enforced quarantine restrictions. The requirement to strip down all equipment and vehicles for cleaning prior...
28th February 2017One corrosion control method used on pipelines is cathodic protection (CP). This is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded “sacrificial metal” to act as the...

The ACA works...
