In the oil and gas industry, the integrity of assets such as pipelines, storage tanks, mounded storage vessels, heat exchangers, and small vessels is crucial for operational efficiency and safety. Exposure to harsh environments and aggressive elements like soil, water, and chemicals significantly increases the risk of corrosion, which can lead to costly repairs, system failures, and safety hazards.
We offer comprehensive Cathodic Protection EPC services designed to protect these critical assets and ensure their long-term performance.
Our design team use licenced modelling software for validation of CP design, which ensures the accuracy of engineering design.
Pipelines are the backbone of the oil and gas industry, transporting valuable resources over vast distances. Due to their exposure to soil moisture, chemical environments, and fluctuating temperatures, pipelines are particularly vulnerable to corrosion. Our tailored CP solutions ensure the integrity and efficiency of these vital transportation systems.
ICCP and SACP Systems: For long-distance pipelines, we use a combination of Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) and Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection (SACP) systems, depending on the pipeline’s size, exposure conditions, and environmental factors. SACP system is used to protect the pipeline during its construction phase and ICCP system is used for permanent protection throughout its design life.
Pipeline Monitoring: To ensure optimal performance, we integrate advanced Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) that track critical parameters, such as voltage and current, and provide real-time data on the system's effectiveness.
Corrosion Risk Assessment: Our team conducts thorough corrosion risk assessments to identify high-risk zones and apply targeted CP solutions. This proactive approach minimizes the potential for corrosion-related failures and extends the lifespan of the pipeline.
Storage tanks used in oil and gas facilities are constantly exposed to corrosive factors, including chemicals, temperature variations, and moisture. To maintain their structural integrity and prevent leaks or failures, we implement highly effective CP systems that protect both the internal and external surfaces of these tanks.
ICCP and SACP Systems: For above-ground storage tanks, we often utilize ICCP systems with strategically placed inert anodes, such as titanium, to ensure continuous protection of the tank’s external surface. For underground tanks, sacrificial anodes, such as zinc or magnesium, are used to prevent corrosion at key vulnerable areas.
Inspection & Maintenance: Regular tank inspections and system evaluations are part of our maintenance routine. Our experts use advanced tools and techniques to detect early signs of corrosion and ensure that the CP system is working effectively.
Real-Time Monitoring: By integrating RMS into the tank system, we monitor real-time data to assess corrosion rates, system performance, and maintenance needs, enabling proactive intervention when necessary.
Mounded storage vessels, often used for storing LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and other chemicals, are critical components in oil and gas operations. Due to their exposure to various environmental and operational conditions, these vessels are prone to corrosion. Our CP solutions help maintain the safety and reliability of these vessels.
Tailored CP Design: We design customized CP systems for mounded storage vessels, considering factors like soil type, moisture content, and the specific materials used in the vessel's construction. Both ICCP and SACP solutions are applied depending on the vessel's exposure to corrosive elements.
Continuous Monitoring: Remote monitoring technology allows for continuous assessment of the CP system’s effectiveness, ensuring that corrosion risks are promptly identified and addressed, and the system remains functional.
Lifecycle Extension: Our CP solutions aim to extend the lifecycle of mounded storage vessels, reducing the need for expensive repairs or replacements and enhancing overall asset reliability.
Heat exchangers and small vessels used in oil and gas applications are vulnerable to internal and external corrosion, especially in aggressive chemical environments. Our CP solutions are designed to protect these critical components from corrosion, ensuring efficient operation and minimizing downtime.
Customized CP Systems: For heat exchangers, both the internal and external surfaces are protected using a combination of ICCP and SACP systems. In smaller vessels, we utilize sacrificial anodes to prevent localized corrosion while ensuring long-term protection.
Targeted Solutions: We evaluate the specific operating conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and the types of fluids involved, to develop CP systems tailored to the needs of each heat exchanger and small vessel.
Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance: Regular monitoring and maintenance ensure that the CP systems remain effective over time. Our RMS and predictive analytics provide real-time data to optimize performance and prevent corrosion-related failures.
