Corrosion, Corrosion Prevention & Solutions in System of Pipelines

Abstract

Pipeline system is used in almost every industrial activities: they transport materials and waste, including fluids such as water, liquid chemicals; or gases and steam, from and to different stages of an industrial cycle. For pipelines which are made of metal, one problem of consideration is corrosion. The corrosion inside pipelines may seriously affect quality of the substance they transport (for example: heavy metals in drinking water); or the construction of the system itself. This thesis discusses the corrosion phenomenon, especially in systems that transport water, as well as studies the practical data to get a better understanding of it.

The complete thesis is supposed to present clear, detailed, and accurate knowledge about corrosion related issues in water transporting system. It is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, the subject of corrosion principles is discussed, as well as the types of corrosions; how they affect the efficiency of different industries and what are the solutions for them. The information for this part will be taken from literature, books and other reliable references; most of which focuses on systems that transport water. In the practical part, several experiments were conducted. The results of mentioned experiments were analysed using mechanical/chemical methodology and calculations. By the evaluation of mentioned data, corrosion is understood better in a practical perspective.
