The corrosion management expertise offered by INTEC is listed below:

• Cause and effects of corrosion.
• Causes of failure to pipelines, risers and subsea equipment.
• Forms of corrosion - galvanic, crevice, pitting, preferential weldment corrosion, corrosion fatigue, inter/intragranular, SCC, SSC and HIC, SOHIC, MIC
• Internal and external corrosion mechanisms on pipelines, subsea structures/components, topsides components, piping.
• Corrosion theory, anodic / cathodic reactions, polarization diagrams, Evans diagram, principles of cathodic protection, over potentials, galvanic series/couples.
• Cathodic protection systems for subsea components, offshore pipelines, offshore structures and onshore pipelines and tanks and terminals.
• Chemical inhibition recommendations.
• Ensuring that compatible coatings are used.
• Specifying and checking coatings before, during and after application.
• Coatings selections for pipelines, risers and subsea structures and topsides, eg coal tar, FBE, polyolefinics, 3 layer systems, PU, insulation.
• Coating testing (laboratory and field) – cathodic disbondment, impact, high temperature, high pressure, collapse, sour service.
• Selecting, specifying and checking cathodic protection monitoring systems and site surveys.
• Field joint coating materials selection, design and application methodologies.
• Corrosion monitoring by coupons, ER, LPR probes.
• Hydrate prevention (methanol).
• Dehydration systems (MEG/TEG).
• Dew point control.
