Corrosion Protection Gulf Coast

1. Cathodic Protection

This kind of anti-corrosion practice is mostly used on ship hulls, undersea gas pipes, and oil rigs. By deploying a more electrically active alloy near the protected structure or equipment, the said alloy “diverts” the attention of corrosive agents away from the structure and absorbs all the electrolytes until it breaks down and completely corrodes.

Cathodic protection has two methods: sacrificial anodes and impressed current. The former occurs by attaching a small piece of galvanic alloy to the structure that acts as the first line of defense against corrosion. Meanwhile, impressed current uses an external power source to make it more electrically attractive to electrolytes.

2. Corrosion Inhibitors

Usually in a form of an additive, corrosion inhibitors are formulas that slow down the rate of corrosion of the metal. By creating a thin layer of protective film inside kinds of equipment such as storage tanks, engines, and other materials with liquid storage capabilities, corrosion inhibitors can be added without completely dismantling or halting their operation.

3. Coatings

Different kinds of coating such as epoxy, urethane, zinc, and others create a layer of protection from harmful elements like air, water, and other environmental corrosion agents. Aside, semi-permanent coats such as chrome plating and electroplated nickel shroud the metal with a layer of film that tends to last longer.

4. Abrasive Blasting

Abrasive blasting uses a high-velocity machine that propels medium to the surface of metals. Usually done to prepare an equipment for other methods of corrosion protection, abrasive blasting removes corroded areas through high-speed medium abrasion. There are several types of medium available, depending on the type of material to be treated with abrasive blasting.
