MATERIAL MATTERS
Determining a Pipeline’s
Susceptibility to Corrosion
During Trenchless Installation
T
o prevent external corrosion on
pipelines, the standard prac-
tice is to use a coating system
as the primary defense. When
pipelines are installed by horizontal
directional drilling (HDD)—a trenchless
method used for installing underground
pipe—coatings with high abrasion resis-
tance are required to minimize coating
damage as the pipe is pulled through the
bored path.
Due to the aggressive nature of this
installation method, some degree of coat-
ing damage is inevitable; so cathodic pro-
tection (CP) is typically applied to the
pipeline to mitigate corrosion at coating
holidays.
In a paper presented at CORROSION

12 FEBRUARY 2019
Michael Snow and Len Krissa with
Enbridge (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)
and Amanda Harmon with Gas Technol-
ogy Institute (Des Plaines, Illinois, USA),
as well as Karen Crippen with Gas Tech-
nology Institute, comment that the sus-
ceptibility of pipelines to external corro-
sion when they are installed by HDD
operations is not well understood. Addi-
tionally, they note, the effectiveness of CP
for pipelines installed with HDD may not
be known, so it is important to consider
additional corrosion prevention methods
as a proactive measure for preventing any
detrimental effects that HDD drilling
fluid may have on the pipeline. A proac-
tive approach to corrosion control in con-
junction with HDD installation supports
the development of key practices and
reinforces the emphasis on safe operation
and improved safety performance.
Drilling fluid used in the HDD opera-
tion lubricates drill pipe, transports drill
cuttings, provides stability to the bored
hole, and prevents overheating of the
drilling assembly. The main constituents
of drilling fluids are bentonite, water,
polymers, and various conditioners. The
conditioners typically act as lubricants,
clay inhibitors, and dispersants, and also
control pH and hardness.
These additives, which are project
specific, are not consistent throughout
the industry; and some may potentially
increase the corrosion potential of the
pipeline. Increased corrosion activity in
various steel pipes used in well casings
has been documented and is attributed to
drilling fluid. Additionally, the presence
of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), corro-
sion products, and salts may produce
hydrogen sulfide (H 2S), which can
increase the conductivity of the fluid and
accelerate corrosion. During the drilling
process, the buildup of clay mineral at
anodic locations can also promote pitting
corrosion.
The authors conducted a study to fur-
ther understand drilling fluid constitu-
ents so increases in the corrosion poten-
tial on each pipe segment installed by
HDD can be avoided. For the study, they
used drilling fluid samples collected from
two geographically distinct HDD sites
(Site A and Site B) with different forma-
tions and water sources. Chemical and
microbiological constituents in the sam-
ples were analyzed to determine their
potential effect on corrosion.
The samples were characterized by
chemistry, including moisture, pH, total
solids, clay content, total carbon, total
WWW.MATERIALSPERFORMANCE.COM

organic carbon, total inorganic carbon,
total sulfur, total sulfide, and chemical
oxygen demand (COD). Additionally, the
samples were evaluated using quantita-
tive Polymerase Chain Reaction for
microbes related to microbiologically
influenced corrosion (MIC): SRB, denitri-
fying bacteria (DNB), acetic and butyric
acid-producing bacteria (APB), iron-
oxidizing bacteria (IOB), total archaea,
sulfate-reducing archaea (SRA), and
methanogens.
For HDD Site A, an analysis was done
on solid and liquid samples of mud, pilot
drill mud, ream mud, pass cuttings, and a
ground water sample. At HDD Site B,
analysis was done on samples of river
water, and drilling fluid and drilling
waste that were solid-liquid slurries.
According to the authors, soils and
water have little impact on the corrosion
of ferrous materials when their pH is
between 4 and 8.5. If the pH value is too
low (below 4) or too high (above 12), it can
lead to metal corrosion and/or coating
degradation. At HDD Site A, the results of
the pH test showed an average pH of 6.4
(i.e., slightly acidic, with moderate corro-
sion potential) for the pilot drill mud,
ream mud, and pass cuttings. The mud
and ground water had an average pH of
7.96 (i.e., alkaline with low corrosion
potential). All of the samples at Site B had
an alkaline pH (between 7.73 and 9.12),
which indicated a low corrosion
potential.
In clay, the authors note, the particle
size and the pore volume between the
particles are minimal. This leads to low
air and water flow in clay, which results
in higher moisture saturation. Sand has
higher permeability and results in
increased aeration and moisture fluctua-
tion. The high drainage characteristics of
sand can improve drainage of soil and
result in drier soil. At HDD Site A, total
clay content ranged between 7 and 10
wt% for all the mud samples. High mois-
ture content—from 53 to 61 wt% for the
pilot drill mud, ream mud, and pass cut-
tings—plus poor soil drainage resulted in
a high corrosion potential. At HDD Site B,
MATERIALS PERFORMANCE: VOL. 58, NO. 2
Information on corrosion
control and prevention
clay content was 20 wt% for the drilling
fluid and 15 wt% for the drilling waste.
The drilling fluid had a high moisture
content (68 wt%), which is a high corro-
sion potential. Alternatively, the drilling
waste had a low moisture content
(22 wt%), which presented a low corrosion
potential.
Chloride ions can increase the corro-
sion current by reducing resistivity and
increasing the anode-to-cathode voltage,
which in turn escalates the corrosion
activity. Sulfate also can lead to increased
corrosion activity because of the role it
plays in MIC. Ion chromatography analy-
sis of the drilling fluids at HDD Site A
showed that chloride and sulfate were the
dominate ions found. Since the fluids
contained <70 ppm for chloride ions and
<700 ppm for sulfate ions, chloride and
sulfate would have a minor effect on cor-
rosion potential. Similarly, at HDD Site B,
ion chromatography analysis of the fluids
associated with the drilling mud indi-
cated chloride and sulfate were the domi-
nate ions. At <370 ppm for chloride ions
Visit us at CORROSION 2019 Conference and Expo Booth 1618
and <150 ppm for the sulfate ions, how-
ever, their effect on corrosion potential
would be small.
The oxygen demand values at HDD
Site A indicated soils that could support
bacterial activity. A high oxygen potential
measurement indicates aerobic condi-
tions and a high potential for IOB and
DNB activity, but low potential for SRB,
APB, and methanogens activity. The
chemical oxygen demand (COD)—
20.3 wt% for the pilot drill mud, 21.3 wt%
for the ream mud, and 20.6 wt% for the
pass cuttings samples—indicated an
environment that supports aerobic
microorganism growth, which is corrobo-
rated by the high concentrations of IOB

samples had high concentrations of bac-
teria per gram and moderate concentra-
tions of archaea per gram. These samples
also contained moderate or high concen-
trations of MIC-related microorganisms:
APB, IOB, DNB, methanogens, and SRB.
The negative implications of a moderate
to high concentration of MIC-related
microorganisms on the external surface
of a pipe include an increased rate of
metal loss, reduced service life, and
higher susceptibility for incidental
releases from the pipeline.
At HDD Site B, the COD, chloride ions,
and sulfate ions were low for the drilling
fluid and drilling waste. Low concentra-
tions of SRB, IOB, DNB, and methanogens
were found in the river water sample. A
moderate concentration of bacteria was
found in each of the slurry samples; how-
ever, the drilling fluid and drilling waste
slurries did not contain microorganisms
associated with corrosion.

Based on data review from both HDD
operations, the authors concluded that
the potential for corrosion was higher at
HDD Site A when compared to HDD Site
B. Additionally, the authors note, results
from this case study provided the first
steps toward understanding the effects of
HDD fluid and applying the appropriate
proactive control mechanisms to ensure
maximized pipeline safety. The next steps
in understanding the corrosion potential
at HDD sites due to drilling fluids are to
collect more site samples and analyze
them, establish the long-term corrosion
potential of the fluids, and establish ade-
quate quality assurance/quality control
procedures for drilling fluid usage. In
parallel, investigating the inoculation of
drilling fluids with biodegradable bio-
cides and corrosion inhibitors will ensure
effective and safe interaction with the
surrounding environment.
Additional details on the study can be
found in the conference paper, which was
presented in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

Studies Find Saltier, More Alkaline Waterways

in North America
T wo recent university research studies
have found significant increases in
both salinization and alkalinization at
U.S. stream and river sites, which can
make water more corrosive to pipes and
potentially lead to problems such as those
that occurred earlier this decade in Flint,
Michigan, USA.
When Flint switched its primary
water source to the Flint River in 2014, the
river’s high salt load combined with
chemical treatments to make the water
more corrosive, causing lead to leach
from water pipes and creating that city’s
well-documented water crisis.1
In the aftermath, researchers at the
University of Maryland (UMD) (College
Park, Maryland, USA) and several other
institutions began studying U.S. survey
monitoring sites that have been active
over the past 50 years. 2 In analyzing the
data, the researchers found major
increases in both salinization and alka-
linization, with results suggesting that

focused on sodium chloride (NaCl), which
is the dominant chemical in road deicers.
But in terms of chemistry, he notes that
salt has a broader definition, encompass-
ing any combination of positively and
negatively charged ions that dissociate in
water. Some of the most common positive
ions found in salts—including sodium,
calcium, magnesium, and potassium—
can have damaging effects at higher
concentrations.
“These ‘cocktails’ of salts can be more
toxic than just one salt, as some ions can
displace and release other ions from soils
and rocks, compounding the problem,”
Kaushal says. “Ecotoxicologists are just
now beginning to understand this.”
The researchers say their work is the
first to simultaneously account for mul-
tiple salt ions in freshwater across the
United States and southern Canada. The
results suggest that salt ions are driving
up the pH of freshwater as well, making it
more alkaline. Over the time period ana-
lyzed, the researchers concluded that 37%
of the drainage area of the contiguous
United States experienced a significant
increase in salinity. Alkalinization, which
is influenced by many factors besides
salinity, increased by 90%.
“Our study is the first to document a
link between increased salinization and
16 FEBRUARY 2019
alkalinization at the continental scale,”
says study co-author Gene Likens, presi-
dent emeritus at Cary and a distinguished
research professor at Connecticut. “Until
now, we didn’t fully appreciate the role
that different salts play in altering the pH
of streams and rivers of our country. Salt
content and pH are fundamental aspects
of water chemistry, so these are major
changes to the properties of freshwater.”
The root causes of increased salt in
waterways vary from region to region,
Kaushal says. In the snowy Mid-Atlantic
and New England, they explain that road
salt applied to maintain roadways in win-
ter can be a primary culprit. Meanwhile,
in the heavily agricultural Midwest, fer-
tilizers—particularly those with high
potassium content—make major contri-
butions. In other regions, mining waste
and the weathering of concrete, rocks,
and soils can release salts into adjacent
waterways.
“We found that the pH of some rivers
started increasing in the 1950s and ’60s—
decades before the implementation of
acid rain regulations,” says Michael Pace,
a professor of environmental sciences at
Virginia and a study co-author. “We also
observed increased salt concentrations in
the Southeast, where they don’t apply
road salts. These surprising trends pre-
sented a puzzle that our team worked
together to solve.”
Historically, salt concentrations have
been very high in the desert region of the
U.S. Southwest. But in their study, the
researchers documented an overall
decrease in salinity over time. The
researchers attribute this decrease to a
variety of factors, including changes in
land and water use, coupled with an effort
on the part of Western state and local
governments to reduce salt inputs and
improve water resource management
strategies.
Kaushal notes that many strategies
for managing salt pollution already exist.
For example, evidence suggests that
brines can be more efficient than granu-
lated salt for deicing roads, yielding the
same effect with less overall salt input.
Pre-salting before a major snow event can
also improve results. Kaushal says many
cities and states in the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast regions have outdated and
inefficient salt-spreading equipment that
is overdue for an upgrade.
“Also, not all salts are created equally
in terms of their ability to melt ice at
certain temperatures,” Kaushal adds.
“Choosing the right salt compounds for
the right conditions can help melt snow
and ice more efficiently with less salt
input, which would go a long way toward
solving the problem.”
The researchers note similar issues
with applying fertilizers in agricultural
settings. In many cases, applying the
right amount of fertilizer at the right time
of year can reduce the overall output of
salts into nearby streams and rivers. The
researchers believe more careful urban
development strategies—in particular,
building further from waterways and
designing more effective storm water
drainage systems—can help reduce the
amount of salt washed away from weath-
ered concrete.
“As a society, we’re addressing the
water quality issues of sewage, waste-
water, and nutrient loading,” says Tom
Torgersen, director of the water sustain-
ability and climate program at the U.S.
National Science Foundation (NSF) (Alex-
andria, Virginia, USA), which helped fund
the research. “But our impact on water

our increasing population, the size of our
built infrastructure, and other factors.
Management of water quality impacts
remains a challenge.”
Following the first study, Kaushal’s
team at UMD recently took an even more
detailed look at the syndrome’s global,
regional, and local consequences. 3 The
group began their second study by assess-
ing known data from rivers in the United
States, Europe, Canada, Russia, China,
and Iran, substantially expanding the
geographic boundaries of their initial
work. Their analysis suggests the syn-
drome could be a global phenomenon,
with analysis showing a steady trend of
increased salt ions in both U.S. and Euro-
pean rivers. These trends trace back at
least 50 years, with some data supporting
a 100-year trend.
In the snowy U.S. Mid-Atlantic states
and New England, Kaushal and his col-
leagues took a deeper dive into the chemi-
cal consequences of road salt by perform-
ing detailed field studies in streams
located near Washington and near Balti-
more, Maryland, USA. In one set of obser-
vations, the researchers sampled water
from the Paint Branch stream near the Researchers say many different human activities can increase salt pollution in drinking water.

2017 snowstorm. This allowed the team to

trace the effects of road salt washed into
the streams by melting snow.
“We thought it would be interesting to
get a view of the chemistry in an urban
river throughout a snowstorm,” says
Kelsey Wood, a geology graduate student
and the study’s co-author. “Salt concentra-
tions during the snowstorm were surpris-
ingly high—it was like we were analyzing
seawater. But we weren’t expecting such a
high corresponding peak in metals.”
Previous research has shown that very
salty water can force metals out of
streambed soils and into stream water. In
the Paint Branch stream, Kaushal and his
colleagues noted large spikes in copper,
manganese, and zinc immediately follow-
ing the snowstorm. In a similar set of
snowstorms observations in Washing-
ton’s Rock Creek, they observed spikes in
cadmium, copper, and zinc.
In another series of experiments,
researchers artificially added salt to the
Gwynns Falls stream near Baltimore to
simulate what happens during a snow-
storm to measure copper concentrations
in the water before, during, and after add-
ing salt. The data showed an instant spike
in copper released from the streambed,
suggesting a direct connection between
the stream’s salt content and copper in
the water.
Salt ion concentrations can stay high
for months following a storm, Kaushal
explains. This lengthens the amount of
time that salt can draw metals from the
soil, resulting in harmful combinations of
metals and salts transported far
downstream.
“Looking at water quality data over
several months in the winter, salt remains
high and rarely has a chance to return to
baseline before the next storm comes
through and more salt is put on the
roads,” Kaushal says. “This high salt load
not only liberates metals and other con-
taminants, but there is also evidence that
the initial salt pulse releases other salt
ions from the streambed and soils, such
as magnesium and potassium, which
further contribute to keeping overall salt
levels high.”
To probe the role of agricultural fertil-
izers, the researchers looked at data from
26 different USGS monitoring sites along
rivers in the U.S. Midwest and Mid-Atlan-
tic areas. These stations collected data
every 15 minutes on salinity, pH, and
nitrate ions—a harmful byproduct of fer-
tilizers and other contaminants. Accord-
ing to the researchers, several rivers
showed a clear and fast connection
between increased salinity and nitrate
concentrations.
“To me, this study highlights the need
to view salt as an emerging contaminant

in freshwater,” says Shahan Haq, a geol-

ogy graduate student and a co-author of
the second study. “Salt’s ability to move
heavy metals like copper from sediments
into the water could have dangerous
implications for our drinking water and
could be toxic to wildlife. Our observa-
tions suggest that some rivers are already
at risk, especially here in the eastern U.S.
directly following road salt applications.”

Epoxy—A Coating for All Seasons
I f you work in corrosion control, you will
undoubtedly come across epoxy
coatings. They are used wherever steel
has to be protected against corrosion—
offshore platforms, onshore oil and gas
production, refineries, petrochemical
plants, power plants, bridges, ships,
wharfs, and many more. They will protect
steel in the atmosphere from rusting by
preventing oxygen and water from reach-
ing the surface. They will prevent the
interior of steel tanks from reacting with
cold water, hot water, petroleum, and
other organic products and many other
acidic, alkaline, and pH neutral chemi-
cals. For good measure, they are also used
to protect other surfaces such as concrete
and nonferrous metals. If you had to
name the most versatile method of
preventing corrosion, an epoxy coating
would be a good choice.
So what is it that makes epoxy such a
useful chemical? The term epoxy refers to
thermosetting polymers (one that cures
irreversibly by molecules cross-linking)
produced by the reaction of an epoxide
group (often also confusingly called an
epoxy group), which is a three-membered
ring of an oxygen atom attached to two
adjacent carbon atoms. The ring struc-
ture of the epoxide group is easily opened
and provides a site for crosslinking to
form the final polymer. The epoxide
group is on a small molecule, most com-
monly epichlorohydrin (ECH), which is
reacted with a much larger molecule con-
taining lots of carbon ring (aromatic) and
chain (aliphatic) structures, most com-
monly bisphenol-A (BPA) to form what is
known as an “epoxy prepolymer.” This is a
large polymer molecule, but still a liquid,
and forms the resin half of the final prod-
uct. It needs to react with a hardener (also
called a converter) to cure to form the
final, highly crosslinked product that is
strong, hard, and provides the required
corrosion resistance. No volatiles are
given off during cure so shrinkage is
much less than for other polymers. One
common hardener is polyamine, or simply
amine, which is an organic molecule con-
taining nitrogen and hydrogen atoms
rather like ammonia. The hydrogen
MATERIALS PERFORMANCE: VOL. 58, NO. 2
Information on corrosion control and prevention
atoms on the amine react with the oxygen
atoms on the epoxy prepolymer to form
the three-dimensional cross-linked poly-
mer that gives the final product its excel-
lent properties. The polymer has many
charged molecular groups such as
hydroxides, which make it polar and
ensure good adhesion to metallic sur-
faces. Furthermore, the carbon-carbon
and other linkages along the polymer
chain are strong and very stable, giving
epoxies their good chemical resistance,
strength, and toughness. At the same
time, cross-linking is just sufficient
enough to give the film some flexibility.
There are a range of epoxy types
depending on the resin or hardener used,
making epoxies one of the most versatile
polymers. Other resins than BPA include
bisphenol F and novalac, which have
improved resistance to certain chemicals.
As well as amine, another common hard-
ener is polyamide, which has lower
shrinkage on curing, increases the flexi-
bility of the film, and gives a longer pot
life, but has reduced chemical resistance.
For atmospheric coating systems, a poly-
amide hardener is generally used, and
there are pigmented and nonpigmented
primers and intermediate coats. The
major weakness of epoxies exposed to the
atmosphere is that they chalk due to reac-
tion with ultraviolet light, so they are not
used as topcoats where color or gloss are
important, although chalking has only a
minor effect on durability. For mainte-
nance work where abrasive blasting is
often not possible, surface-tolerant epox-
ies (or epoxy mastics) that are formulated
to soak into poorly prepared surfaces as
well as dry slowly are the usual primer of
choice. For more aggressive environments
such as splash zones, very high-build or
ultrahigh-build epoxies are often speci-
fied. For tank linings, solventless epoxies
with or without glass reinforcement are
ideal. For pipelines, powder coatings
(fusion-bonded epoxies) are used alone or
as part of a three-layer system. Various
additives and modifications can create
products for high temperatures, wear and
abrasion resistance, fire resistance, and
non-slip flooring.
The epoxy ring structure is very reactive
and is the basis for versatile protective
coatings for dredges, piling, tank floors,
and reaction vessels.
The first true commercial bisphenol
epoxy resins were discovered in the late
1930s by Pierre Castan working in Swit-
zerland for the company that eventually
became Ciba-Geigy. He was attempting to
find a product that could be used for den-
tures, but this was not commercially suc-
cessful. At around the same time, Sylvan
Greelee, working for the Devoe-Raynolds
in the USA, was reacting bisphenol-A with
fatty acids to produce an air-drying coat-
ing. Various chemical companies devel-
oped this original research after World
War II and commercial epoxy resins for
coatings made their debut in the late
1940s. Protective coatings were one of the
first and are still the most important
application of epoxies, accounting for
around 50% of all epoxy resins produced,
but epoxies are also found in adhesives,
castings, flooring, and many other uses.
Unlike inorganic zinc silicate with the
Morgan-Whyalla pipeline, there is no
classic icon from the early days that
shows the durability that can be achieved
with epoxy coatings. Near the tomb of Sir
Christopher Wren in his masterpiece, St
Paul’s Cathedral in London, is the inscrip-
tion, “If you seek his monument, look
around you.” If you are in the corrosion
control industry, look around you. You
will undoubtedly see examples of this
remarkable and valuable means of corro-
sion protection.

Control of Black Powder
in Gas and Condensate
Pipelines

Black powder is an unwanted entity in
high-pressure fuel and gas pipelines.
When found, the Kuwait Oil Co.
decided to investigate the problem,
forming a task force to analyze the
root cause of the powder formation
and to control this phenomenon.
Chemical composition of black pow-
der formed in the North Kuwait pipe-
lines mainly consisted of iron carbon-
ates, iron oxides, and iron sulfides
(FeS). Corrosion monitoring data
showed increased internal corrosion
for locations with high FeS accumula-
tions. Bacteria were excluded from a
powder formation role, as no or low
counts were observed in the samples.
T
The Kuwait Oil Co. (KOC) gas pipelines
network is ~2,480 km in length, distributed
all over Kuwait. It is comprised of 1,021 km
of high-pressure gas pipelines, 1,206.8 km
of fuel gas pipelines, and 252 km of low-
pressure gas pipelines. All are of different
diameters ranging from 3 to 52 in (76 to
1,321 mm), different materials, and differ-
ent operating pressures and temperatures.
Black powder is a major challenge for
the gas operation industry all over the
world. Its presence in pipelines may cause
several problems, including product con-
tamination, wear, clogging, flow reduction,
and underdeposit corrosion. Resultant
accumulation in the pipeline could lead to
pigs getting stuck during cleaning opera-
tions, as well as prevention of the inline
inspection (ILI) pigging method.
Black powder is a generic name used to
loosely represent a material that is gener-
ated inside gas pipelines. Black powder
may be found in wet and dry forms. It may
be considered a mix of iron sulfides, car-
bonates, and oxides found in gas pipelines.
The required velocity to move 1-µm iron
sulfide particles in gas pipelines has been
reported to be 10 ft/s (3.05 m/s) for an 8-in
(203-mm) diameter pipeline, 13 ft/s (3.96
m/s) for 24-in (610-mm), and 14 ft/s (4.27
m/s) for 48-in (1,219-mm) at 1,000 psi.1
Black powder may be found in various
sizes, from as small as 0.01 µm up to
1,000  µm. 1 However, most of the studies
reported black powder particle average
size to lie between 0.1 and 300 µm.2-4
Experimental Procedure
Black Powder Analysis
Many black powder samples were col-
lected and analyzed during the normal
cleaning pigging of North Kuwait (NK)
pipelines. Two samples (HP-063 and
CO-049) are discussed in this article to rep-
resent the characteristics of black powder
found in NK pipelines. Figure 1 shows a
sample from CO-049.

and bio-probes to collect samples for
microbial tests.
A corrosion monitoring coupon is a
pre-weighed metal specimen of the same
pipe material inserted in the pipeline
through an access fitting to measure gen-
eral corrosion and pitting rates. Also, cor-
rosion coupons can provide data on the
microbial activity by sampling the deposits
collected from the coupon surface.

Microbial Analysis
Sessile bacterial samples were collected
from the deposit on the surface of the cor-
rosion coupons and tested by serial dilu-
tion method for the presence and counts of
sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), general
aerobic bacteria (GAB), and general anaer-
obic bacteria (GAnB). FIGURE 1 Black powder sample collected from pipeline CO-049 after the cleaning pigging.

Corrosion coupons were installed in
pipeline HP-063. Preparation, cleaning, and
evaluation of the retrieved corrosion cou-
pons were conducted in accordance to
NACE SP0775 20135 and ASTM G1-03.6 The
corrosion trend chart for the serviced
online corrosion monitoring location for
NK gas pipeline HP-063 is shown in Figure 4.
The corrosion trend chart of corrosion
coupons installed in pipeline HP-063
clearly shows that there was an increase in
the corrosion rates starting from 2015 that
contributed to the formation of the black
powder.
Bacteria Analysis
Sessile bacterial analysis was carried
out for the deposits collected from the cor-
rosion coupon surface of pipeline HP-063.
There were no SRB bacteria strains and low
counts of GAB and GAnB were recovered
from the collected samples, which clearly
exclude bacteria from the internal corro-
sion occurring inside the gas pipeline.
Black Powder Formation
Mechanism
Black powder formed in KOC gas and
condensate pipelines is mainly iron car-
bonates, iron sulfides, and iron oxides that
are formed by an internal corrosion reac-
tion of acid corrosive gases (i.e., carbon
dioxide [CO2] and hydrogen sulfide [H2S])
with the internal wall of the pipe. This reac-
tion occurs in a wet environment as these
gases are benign in a dry environment.
The chemical reactions that form iron
sulfides, iron carbonates (siderite), and
iron oxides have been summarized by
Sherik.7 H2S and CO2 are naturally occur-
ring constituents of natural gas.

CHEMICAL TREATMENT
H2S in gas reacts with condensed water
and pipe steel per the following reaction
equations:8
H2O + H2S → H3O+ + HS–
HS– + Fe → FeS + H2
CO 2 in natural gas reacts with con-
densed water to produce siderite (FeCO3)
in the following fashion:9
H2O + CO2 → H2CO3
H2CO3 + Fe → FeCO3 + H2
The presence of O2 causes direct oxida-
tion of pipe steel to produce iron oxides:
2Fe + H2O + 1.5O2 → 2αβ or γ – FeO(OH)
8γ – FeO (OH) + Fe → 3Fe3O4 + 4H2O
Management and
Control of Black Powder
Controlling black powder can be car-
ried out by removal methods, prevention
methods, or a combination of both.10
Removal Methods
There are several methods for removal
of black powder, summarized here:
Mechanical Cleaning
Mechanical pigs are commonly de-
ployed into a pipeline to scrape debris
from the pipeline wall and remove black
powder. This cleaning method may suffice
to keep the pipeline in a reasonably clean
condition.
Chemical Cleaning
There are several chemical cleaning
agents used in the removal of black powder
from gas pipelines. Gel and surfactant
cleaning are the most common solutions
used. Gel shows excellent capability to
carry large amounts of solids.
Separators
The use of separators and cyclones is
based on the principle of centrifugal force.
The black powder-laden gas passes
through them and the black powder parti-
cles are physically removed from the bulk
gas stream and directed to the walls of the
separator, where they are collected at the
bottom in a collection hub.
28 FEBRUARY 2019
Filters
These are usually cartridge filters
placed downstream of the gas pipeline to
protect control valves and personnel. The
(1)
design and size of these filters will depend
(2) on the amount of black powder, its particle
size, and hardness.
Prevention Methods
Internal corrosion of gas pipelines is
(3) the source of black powder. As such, the
prevention methods are based on prevent-
(4)
ing corrosion from occurring. These meth-
ods include:
Moisture Control
(5) Elimination of moisture condensation
in the pipeline is the most critical step in
(6)
preventing black powder formation in the
gas industry. This can be achieved by
improving the efficiency of the gas dehy-
dration process to ensure dry gas in the
pipeline.
Internal Coatings
These are organic coatings such as
high-solids solvent-based epoxy polyamine
films for the main purpose of reducing
drag; however, prevention of black powder
is an added benefit.
Commissioning Practices
This involves the improvement of the
hydrotesting—more specifically the
dewatering and drying procedures using
flash drying with methanol or nitrogen gas.
Conclusions
• Black powder in KOC gas/fuel pipe-
lines is composed mainly of iron sul-
fides, iron carbonates, and iron
oxides. Other contaminants include
sand, dirt, hydrocarbons, and metal
debris.
• Internal corrosion of pipelines was
confirmed by corrosion coupons as
general/pitting corrosion rates
increased in the last two years. This
was attributed to wet sour corrosion
in the presence of H2S and CO2 in the
pipelines.
• Microbiologically influenced corro-
sion is not part of the corrosion
reaction in the pipelines, as sessile
bacteria tests showed low/nil bac-
terial counts.
• There are several removal and pre-
vention methods available for KOC to
mitigate and manage the impacts of
black powder. Therefore, the com-
pany decided to employ both short-
term and long-term plans for control-
ling black powder accumulations.
Short-Term Solutions
• All pipelines identified with black
powder have been pigged until the
accumulation weight of black pow-
der reached levels below 2 kg. After
the target cleanliness was achieved,
these pipelines were pigged once per
month to ensure continuous cleanli-
ness and removal of deposits.
• ILI is used to determine the condition
of all pipelines identified with black
powder after completing the cleaning
pigging process.
• Idle or partially used high-pressure/
fuel gas lines have been mothballed
per approved procedures, utilizing
proper purging and ensuring no
water/deposits are accumulated in
these pipelines.
Long-Term Solutions
• Revising and raising the efficiency of
gas dehydration units in NK gather-
ing centers.
• Controlling and minimizing process
upsets such as water and regenerated
triethylene glycol carryovers to limit
moisture in the pipeline.
• Using new gas corrosion inhibitors
(diesel soluble base) to control the
internal corrosion and decrease
the chance of water entering the
system.
• Installing new internal corrosion
monitor points in NK gas pipelines to
monitor and provide early detection
of internal corrosion activity in the
pipelines.
• Increasing pigging frequency for all
gas/fuel pipelines identified with
black powder.
• Strict implementation of mothballing
and preservation program for the
pipelines that are not in use or are
only intermittently used.

PHORGOTTEN PHENOMENA

Preventing Internal Corrosion in

Oil and Gas Field Pipelines

tata l.n. murthY, GSPC, Ltd., Andhra
Pradesh, India
Oil and gas exploration and produc-
tion involve a wide variety of infra-
structure. Among those are pipelines,
which are used for crude oil, natural
gas, and injection water transporta-
tion. Constructing these pipelines are
costly and time-consuming projects.
In addition, the integrity of these lines
is essential for production operations
because they connect onshore wells
to the process facility or offshore plat-
forms to the shore and then onward
to processing. Without these pipe-
lines, oil and gas cannot be produced,
even though other offshore and
onshore process facilities are well-
maintained.
ported. Even if offshore and onshore facili-
ties are well-operated and managed, failure
of pipelines may bring all operations to a
stop because of connectivity failure.
Design and Construction
Constraints
These pipelines are designed based on
initial operational requirements. The mate-
rial of construction is selected per those
requirements. Often, the designed pipeline
cannot withstand conditions other than
those of its originally designed purpose. For
example, if a pipeline is designed for
treated natural gas, it may have corrosion
problems if switched to carry untreated
natural gas. Laying subsea pipelines takes
considerably more time and money than
laying comparable onshore pipelines

O
Oil and gas field pipelines typically fall
into two categories: one is used for trans-
portation of untreated well head fluid, and
the other is used for transportation of
treated fluid. Pipelines are used for trans-
portation of single-phase or multiphase
fluids. In oil and gas exploration and pro-
duction operations, these pipelines are
used to connect crude oil and natural gas
wells to process facilities, transport pro-
cessed fluids from offshore platforms to
shore, and then on to processing, transport
of treated water for injection applications,
or for custody transfer. Failure of pipelines
can hamper the operations of an entire oil
and gas asset because nothing can be trans-
because of underwater work and seasonal
sea conditions. Accordingly, the operator
engaged in exploration and production of
oil and natural gas lays subsea pipelines as
per the requirement only, and there may
not be any standby pipeline in case of fail-
ure. This too is the case of onshore pipe-
lines and process equipment. So clearly, the
integrity of a pipeline directly affects crude
oil and natural gas production. Figure 1
shows the pertinent categories of pipeline
services and related actions.
Operational Precautions
Before putting crude oil, condensate, or
natural gas into a pipeline, the operations
team should ensure that the material being

carried meets the pipeline design parame-
ters. If there are any temporary operational
disturbances; for example, one that can
cause the natural gas to have excessive
moisture, the moist gas should be diverted,
say to a flare, rather than putting the wet
gas into the pipeline. The operations team
should monitor the operational parameters
continuously. If parameters are varying
from design ranges, the team must initiate
action. In the case of a treated crude oil and
condensate-carrying pipeline, free water
and emulsified water should be removed
completely before the product is put into
the pipeline.
MATERIALS PERFORMANCE: VOL. 58, NO. 2
Internal Corrosion
Monitoring
Pipelines should be pigged as per their
schedule for inspection, cleaning, and to
remove settled fluids from the pipeline.
Internal corrosion monitoring data from
probes and coupons should be collected
and data should be analyzed. Fluid enter-
ing and leaving the pipeline should be
checked to ensure that it meets design
parameters. If these parameters are near-
ing the limits, then the corrosion monitor-
ing team should be vigilant and ensure that
the operations team takes immediate
action to correct the problem. Dissolved
gases, including oxygen, carbon dioxide
(CO 2), hydrogen sulfide (H 2S), and iron
counts of the fluids at starting and end
points should be checked in a periodic
manner. Measuring the corrosion inhibitor
residual at the end of a pipeline will give an
idea about the availability of chemicals
throughout the line. This can indicate
whether the corrosion inhibitor is working
at current levels or if it is necessary to
increase the dosage rate for better corro-
sion inhibition. In the case of a pipeline
transporting dehydrated natural gas, the
water dew point should be checked, and
this water dew point temperature should

be lower than the pipeline temperature.
Otherwise, water condensation may take
place in subsea/subsurface/regional tem-
perature and pressure conditions. This
condensation can cause top-of-line corro-
sion in the pipeline’s 12:00 position.
Corrosion monitoring should be imple-
mented for getting real-time, continuous,
and periodic data.
Online Monitoring
Testing the corrosivity of water with
online equipment and following tech-
niques like linear polarization resistance or
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
are required. Normally more than one tech-
nique will be helpful to obtain realistic
data. This will give real-time data and gives
an indication about the corrosion at that
moment.
32 FEBRUARY 2019
Continuous Monitoring
Collection of data over a period of time
is essential to know the corrosion protec-
tion level of a pipeline for that designated
interval. This gives an overview about the
failures of corrosion prevention programs
over a particular period. For example, one
day a chemical pump does not inject a cor-
rosion inhibitor. This treatment interrup-
tion can be identified and the effect(s) of
missing that inhibitor injection can also be
identified. Data loggers and many recently
available instruments and probes will be
helpful for this.
Periodic Monitoring
Although the above techniques will
help to identify the corrosion rate, this
periodic monitoring (coupons, IP data,
etc.) will give the cumulative corrosion rate
over a period of time. For example, micro-
biologically influenced corrosion (MIC)
cannot be identified with online monitor-
ing. Coupons, intelligent pigging, and other
recently introduced techniques can be
implemented during periodic monitoring.
Chemical Treatment
Chemical treatment is the main solu-
tion for many internal pipeline corrosion
problems. Corrosion inhibitors can be tai-
lored to address internal corrosion envi-
ronments including fluid phases, operating
conditions, expected flow rates, and prod-
uct chemical variations. Inhibitor injection
systems should be carefully monitored and
maintained to optimize the chemical treat-
ment program. This system should be
capable of reliably injecting accurate dos-
ages all the time and every time.
WWW.MATERIALSPERFORMANCE.COM

Pipelines in water injection service are
to be treated with oxygen scavengers to
remove oxygen, scale inhibitors for pre-
venting scale formation, and continuous
injection of water corrosion inhibitor to
prevent internal corrosion. The inhibitor
residuals at the pipeline end should also be
checked to confirm the corrosion inhibi-
tion rates are adequate. Certain organisms
form slime-like biofilms that can protect
underlying MIC-causing microbes. When
slime is present, the biocide may not reach
underlying organisms in direct contact
with the pipeline wall. Continuous injec-
tion of a primary biocide, like sodium hypo-
chlorite (NaOOCl), may be required to
avoid slime formation. Intermittent biocide
dosing may allow slime formation that sub-
sequent biocide applications may not be
able to penetrate, and then the slime layer
can only be removed by pigging.
Sometimes, periodic shock dosing of
two types of biocides is necessary to pre-
vent MIC. Shock dosing is to be carried out
only after removing existing slime by pig-
ging. Biocides are used to eradicate micro-
organisms in pipelines. At least two bio-
cides may be used alternately for better
results and to reduce the bacteria develop-
ing immunity to the agents. Biocides can be
injected in a batch process depending on
the requirements. The effectiveness of the
biocide can be tested in a laboratory using
a timed killing test.
For example, if a pipeline is giving high
bacterial counts, then the source of bacte-
ria should be identified. If bacteria genera-
tion is occurring in the line, then treatment
with biocide(s) in batch processes can solve
the problem. If the generation is in the
feedstock, some upstream equipment, like
a tank, is the source of generation of bacte-
ria and then some other strategy is required
to mitigate the problem.
Pipelines for transportation of treated
fluids and not typically chemically treated
may not require any chemical treatment if
the above-mentioned operational precau-
tions are followed. Suggesting chemical
treatment to a treated fluids line is an addi-
tional cost and needs to be justified to
management.

Biodiesel production is being pro-
moted and developed as a sustain-
able and eco-friendly fuel as part of
current efforts to mitigate climate
change and to reduce the depen-
dency on fossil fuels. Biodiesel is
widely produced worldwide, and is a
green alternative to diesel. The bio-
diesel industry requires the utiliza-
tion of corrosion-resistant materials.
Therefore, the equipment used is
mostly made from stainless steel,
aluminum, or high-density polyethyl-
ene because these materials have
proven to be corrosion- and degra-
dation-resistant in biodiesel produc-
tion and distribution.
Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the
compression ignition engine, originally
designed the engine to run on vegetable
oils. In 1912, he stated, “The use of vegeta-
ble oils for engine fuels may seem insignifi-
cant today, but such oils may become in the
course of time as important as petroleum
and the coal tar products of the present
time.” However, with the development of
low-cost diesel, the utilization of vegetable
oils as fuels was relegated. Later, in 1937,
the first patent related to the biodiesel pro-
duction process was granted in Belgium. It
was produced by the transesterification of
vegetable oils by using ethanol. The main
reason to convert the vegetable oil into bio-
diesel was to reduce its high viscosity and
to improve its burning properties.1
Due to the oil crisis in the 1970s, such as
energy security and environmental issues,
the development of biofuels was encour-
aged. Hence, once again the use of vegeta-
ble oils was brought to the forefront.
Currently, the United States and the Euro-
pean Union have the highest shares in
global biodiesel production, followed by
Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore,
Thailand, and other countries.2
In Mexico, there is still not a biodiesel
market; however, there is a Reform Initia-
tive to the Law of Promotion and Develop-
ment of Bioenergetics that looks for the
obligatory introduction of biofuels to the
Mexican market.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a mix of mono-alkyl esters
of long fatty acid chains and is produced by
the transesterification of vegetable oils or
animal fats. The conventional catalysts are
alkaline or acid (e.g., sodium hydroxide
[NaOH], potassium hydroxide [KOH], sul-
furic acid [H2SO4]) or prepared by grafting
bases, salts, metal oxides, and enzymes on
various supports such as alumina, silica,
and resins. Currently, the transesterifica-
tion through alkali catalyst is the preferred
and most used method for biodiesel pro-
duction at the commercial level due to eco-
nomic reasons and high yields. It consists
of the reaction of vegetable oils or animal
fats with a short chain alcohol in the pres-

ence of NaOH or KOH [Equation (1)].3 The
molar ratio is 1:3 (oil/alcohol) to obtain
three fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and
glycerol as a by-product. Crude biodiesel
(Figure 1) is produced from waste vegetable
oil (upper fraction) and glycerol (bottom
fraction).

Usually, the biodiesel is blended with
diesel at different concentration levels. The
most sold and used blends in the biofuel
market are B2, B5, B10, and B20 because no
important modifications are needed in the

used systems. The capital letter “B” reflects
the presence of biodiesel in the blend, and
the following number denotes the percent-
age of the biofuel. Currently, new studies
are being performed to assess the perfor-
mance and properties of binary and ter-
nary biofuel blends (e.g., biodiesel-diesel-
bioethanol and biodiesel-diesel-biobutanol,
among others).
Biodiesel oxidative stability is lower
than diesel. The air, humidity, ultraviolet
radiation, and microorganisms accelerate
the biodiesel oxidation. The oxidation
products of biodiesel are peroxides, hydro-
peroxides, mono-carboxylic acids (e.g., for-
mic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and
hexanoic acid), aldehydes, ketones, and
alcohols. The presence of acids increases

Among other features that make bio-
diesel more corrosive and with higher deg-
radation potential than diesel are the fol-
lowing: 6-7 biodiesel aging plays an
important role—like vegetable oils it
becomes rancid in a matter of weeks; it has
higher electrical conductivity; it is more
hygroscopic; and as a solvent may acceler-
ate the degradation of polymers and elasto-
mers, causing their swelling and loss of
mechanical properties.
Therefore, the proper biodiesel han-
dling from production, storage, and trans-
portation to the end use must include
proper materials selection and quality
measures to ensure mitigation of corrosion
failures and degradation issues along the
different stages of the biodiesel supply
chain.
Biodiesel Equipment
and Materials
The biodiesel industry requires the uti-
lization of corrosion- and degradation-
resistant materials due to characteristics
related to the chemical reagents and cata-
lysts used in the biodiesel production pro-
cess and to those of the fuel itself. The bio-
diesel supply chain starts in the feedstock
production and logistics, followed by the
biodiesel production, storage, and distribu-
tion. The final stage is the end use. Along

the biodiesel supply chain, there is a wide
diversity of systems, equipment, and com-
ponents comprised of different metallic
and polymeric materials. The biodiesel
remains in contact with many of them,
mainly in the production, storage, distribu-
tion, and end use stages (Figure 2).
The most typical equipment, compo-
nents, and their corresponding materials
found in the biodiesel supply chain are
summarized in Table 1.
Research has been done to assess the
compatibility between biodiesel and metal-
lic and polymeric materials. Table 2 shows
the compatible and incompatible materials
with biodiesel, taking into consideration the
corrosion and degradation characteristics.

found to be immune to pitting corrosion in
biodiesel applications and the most corro-
sion resistant.
Regarding polymers and elastomers,
the most prone to degradation are those
based on natural rubber materials. They
are the least compatible materials with bio-
diesel since the biofuel behaves like a sol-
vent. Biodiesel causes the swelling of poly-
mers and elastomers and affects their
mechanical properties. In the end, the
material is hardened, and the brittleness is
increased, leading to the point of rupture.9
Hereafter, the utilization of high-density PE
and synthetic rubber such as fluoroelasto-
mers is recommended because they have
proven to be compatible with biodiesel.
Nowadays, there are many applications
of biodiesel in different industries world-
wide, as a fuel in the military, marine trans-
portation, aircraft, public transportation,
domestic vehicles, emergency power sys-
tems, furnaces, and boilers, among others.
Biodiesel compatibility with different
materials is an issue that requires special
attention in every industry or sector where
it is implemented. Hence, the biodiesel
quality is ensured by producers and sup-
pliers. An out-of-spec biodiesel could dam-
age or compromise the proper operation of
the systems, machines, or motor vehicles
due to corrosion and degradation of mate-
rials, poor combustion, low performance,
and filter clogging, among others.
The biodiesel must meet the require-
ments specified by the relevant American
and European Union Authorities or the reg-
ulations of each country. Regarding corro-
sion testing of copper in the United States,
the biofuels comply with the ASTM D130
“Test Method for Corrosiveness to Copper
from Petroleum Products by Copper Strip
Test.” 10 A freshly polished copper strip is
immersed in a specific volume of the fuel
being tested and heated under conditions of
temperature and time that are specific to
the class of material being tested. At the end
of the heating period, the copper strip is
removed and washed, and the color and tar-
nish level are assessed against the ASTM

D130 standard. The level of corrosion is
evaluated as slight tarnish (1a, 1b), moder-
ate tarnish (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e), dark tarnish
(3a, 3b), and corrosion (4a, 4b, 4c). Normally,
when copper corrosion is evaluated in bio-
diesel, the results obtained correspond to
slight tarnish.
The Official Mexican Standard (NOM)
NOM-EM-005-CRE-2015 11 is the official
standard applied to petroleum products
related to quality specs. It establishes all
the requirements that the fuels must meet
in each supply chain stage in the country.
The fuels evaluated by the standard are
gasoline, aviation fuel, automotive diesel,
farm diesel, marine diesel, industrial diesel,
heavy oil, aircraft gas, and liquefied petro-
leum gas. This NOM cites ASTM D130.
Copper was selected as an example to
show the reactions that take place on its
surface upon exposure to biodiesel:12
Formation of oxides:
2Cu + ½O2 → Cu2O (2)
Cu2O + ½ O2 → 2CuO (3)
Formation of carbonates:
Cu2+ + 2RCOO– → CuCO3 + R – R + CO (4)
Cu2O +2CO2 + ½O2 → 2CuCO3 (5)
CuO + CO2 → CuCO3 (6)
Formation of hydroxides and carbonates:
2 Cu + H2O + CO2 + O2 → Cu(OH)2 · CuCO3 (7)
2Cu(OH)2 + CO2 → Cu(OH)2 · CuCO3 + H2O (8)
2Cu + O2 + 2H2O → 2Cu(OH)2 (9)
CuO + H2O → Cu(OH)2 (10)
ASTM D130 is a qualitative test that
only assesses the corrosiveness of copper
exposed to a fresh sample of biodiesel. The
main issue with this testing is the biodiesel
aging and autoxidation nature that in a
matter of weeks becomes more acidic and
corrosive. Also, copper is not the only
material that remains in contact with bio-
diesel in systems, equipment, and machin-
ery; hence, a more comprehensive testing is
performed to evaluate the corrosive char-
acteristics of biodiesel in the presence of
different materials through gravimetric,
electrochemical, infrared spectroscopy,
and scanning electron microscopy tech-
niques. Other determinations applied to
biodiesel and related with corrosion and
degradation potential issues are the acid
number, oxidation stability, and methanol
content established in international
standards.

Corrosion Prevention
The biodiesel industry applies corro-
sion inhibitors to retard the corrosion of
equipment metallic parts.13 Research has
been conducted on the inhibitory effi-
ciency of amine-based corrosion inhibitors
ethylenediamine, n-butylamine, and tert-
butylamine against corrosion iron exposed
to biodiesel. The amine-based inhibitors
are absorbed on the surface of the metal
and prevent corrosion by forming a
barrier.14
Biodiesel has a low oxidative stability;
therefore, the addition of antioxidants to
biodiesel is a normal practice performed in
the biodiesel industry to delay its autoxida-
tion process and the formation of corrosive
compounds.15 The antioxidants employed
range from natural tocopherols to synthet-
ics (e.g., butylated hydroxytoluene, tertiary
butylhydroquinone, pyrogallol, propylgal-
late, and butylated hydroxyanisole). The
synthetic antioxidants are widely used by
the petroleum industry.
Conclusions
The production and consumption of
biodiesel are being encouraged and
expanded worldwide due to current efforts
to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels
and mitigate the problem of climate
change. The biodiesel industry requires the
utilization of corrosion- and degradation-
resistant materials along the supply chain
for equipment, machinery, vehicles, and
systems such as SS, aluminum, fluoroelas-
tomers, and high-density PE. The addition
of corrosion inhibitors and antioxidants to
biodiesel is also necessary to mitigate cor-
rosion failures and degradation issues of
metallic and polymeric materials.

CORROSION MANAGEMENT
Pipeline Failure Investigation:
Is it MIC?

College, Horsens, Denmark
40 FEBRUARY 2019
The investigation of pipeline corro-
sion failures, including those caused
by microbiologically influenced corro-
sion (MIC), requires multiple lines of
evidence to identify causative mecha-
nisms and contributing factors. The
types of evidence needed for the cor-
rosion analysis include information
about the design and history of oper-
ation of the asset; the physical, envi-
ronmental, and metallurgical condi-
tions present where corrosion is
observed; and microbiological condi-
tions. Next, this information is inte-
grated and analyzed to assess whether
biotic or abiotic processes were
responsible for the failure. While the
ability to diagnose MIC in the oil and
gas industry is improving, practical
limitations associated with sample
collection in remote locations or from
inside pipelines still present chal-
lenges to conclusively determine the
cause.
F
Failure investigation and root cause
analysis are useful tools to pipeline opera-
tors who are seeking ways to optimize
performance, control costs, and reduce
risks. In the United States, regulated gas
and liquid hydrocarbon pipeline operators
are required to maintain incident investiga-
tion procedures as a part of their opera-
tions and maintenance manual. The
incident investigation procedures are
normally viewed as being applicable only in
the event of significant incidents as defined
under federal codes 1-2 rather than for all
corrosion findings.
Understanding why internal or external
corrosion has occurred (beyond the investi-
gations performed after major incidents) is
important for optimizing mitigation and
prevention measures, and generally worth
the minor investment required. The degree
of analytical rigor can be proportional to
the severity of the corrosion or the level of
risk associated with the asset. Whenever
corrosion is found on a pipeline, an oppor-
tunity presents itself to understand the
mechanism causing the corrosion and the
contributing factors that supported it. Such
an understanding increases the ability to
manage the threat of corrosion in the future
and extension of asset life.
While there are many potential pipeline
corrosion mechanisms, they can be gener-
ally divided between biotic (caused or pro-
moted by microorganisms and/or their
activities) and abiotic (corrosion in the
absence of any direct microbiological con-
tribution). Abiotic mechanisms, for exam-
ple, include corrosion of steel in an electro-
lyte in the presence of dissolved carbon
dioxide (CO 2), hydrogen sulfide (H 2S), or
oxygen. The definition of biotic corrosion is
more complicated because microbiological
activities may be intertwined with chemi-
cal/electrochemical processes that cause
corrosion. Biotic and abiotic processes are
also affected by complex transformations of
chemical species that have growth, inhibi-
tory, or synergistic effects on biotic activi-
ties that cause microbiologically influenced
corrosion (MIC).3

experts Drs. Jason Lee and Brenda Little,
FNACE recently wrote a chapter on MIC

an accurate diagnosis:11
1) A sample of the corrosion product or

3) Identification of microorganisms

4) Demonstration of an association

The objective is to have three indepen-

chemical, and microbiological) that are
consistent with a mechanism for MIC.
Some questions that may be helpful to
consider when integrating MIC failure anal-

• What differences in the types and
numbers of microorganisms were
observed between corroded vs.
uncorroded areas?
• Does the chemical environment that
was present include the necessary

• Are there chemical indicators (sul-

be indicative of activity of specific
groups of microorganisms?
• Which microorganisms are capable
of growth under the conditions of pH,
flow, temperature, oxygen levels, and
salinity present in the environment?

Probability of Pipeline Failure

Caused by External Corrosion

R. Olalde, Metallurgic Engineering
Department, School of Chemistry,
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de
Mexico, Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico
City, Mexico
The probability of failure (PoF) of
pipelines caused by external corro-
sion is a function of three variables:
exposure, mitigation, and resistance.
Two primary exposure variables of a
buried pipeline are soil resistivity and
pH. In this work, the PoF caused by
those variables was determined using
semiquantitative algorithms. These
results were compared with the indi-
rect corrosion rates obtained from a
case study and with direct corrosion
rates obtained with gravimetric tests
in the laboratory. The aim was to
revalidate the algorithm and under-
stand the effect of soil resistivity and
pH on the PoF.
and is associated with a reduction mode to
a possible failure, and R is composed of a
resistance score and is associated with a
resistance mode to a possible failure.
There are several tools to calculate the
PoF of gas pipelines that are exposed to dif-
ferent threats, as well as the next-genera-
tion semiquantitative algorithms, which
have more than 700 variables involved in
their calculations.
In this work, the corrosion rate caused
by the soil resistivity and pH was calculated
indirectly and directly, in situ and in the
laboratory, respectively. These results were
compared with the preloaded data of a
semiquantitative algorithm in order to
understand the effect that soil resistivity
and pH have on the PoF of gas pipelines, as
well as revalidating the algorithm.

The preloaded values in the semiquanti-
tative algorithm used in this work consider
the following data:
t = 12.6 mm; this value represents the
thickness of the study gas pipeline
M = 80; this value comes from the sum of
mitigation scores (cathodic protection +
routine visual inspections + soil tests +
coating inspection)
R = 83.2; this value comes from the sum
of resistance scores (carbon steel mate-
rial + fusion-bonded epoxy coating +
electrical isolation)
ae = 0.34%; this value comes from statis-
tics and operational information
The semiquantitative algorithm makes
a continuous comparison between the pre-
loaded values and the data that are annually
generated in the oil field.
To determine the partial PoF caused by
soil resistivity or pH, the researchers
worked with data obtained from the case
study. To obtain the variable E caused by
soil resistivity or pH, an exposure score was
assigned according to Table 1. Equation (2)
was used to calculate that value.
The variable E was used with the pre-
loaded data of the variables M and R in
Equations (1) and (1a) to obtain the partial
PoF. The PoF is a dimensionless value, but it
can be multiplied by the events or leaks

Case Study
In the pipeline transportation industry,
it is not economically feasible to measure
the external corrosion rate directly by
installing gravimetric coupons at each kilo-
meter on the right of way (ROW) of a study
pipeline. In practice, the corrosion rate is
measured indirectly by relating soil resistiv-
ity values and the corrosion rate indicated
in ASME B31.8S.4
To obtain the input data used in the
semiquantitative algorithm, soil resistivity
and pH readings were taken at 1-km and
5-km intervals on the ROW, along a 762-mm
diameter gas pipeline, which is 40-km long,
and is located in Northwest Mexico. In the
soil resistivity readings, the Wenner5 four-
pin method was used, employing a resistiv-
ity meter and soil box. To determine the pH,
a digital multimeter was used with a cop-

and a high-purity antimony (Sb) electrode.
Laboratory Tests
The soil resistivity and pH data obtained
in the case study were used to indirectly
estimate the corrosion rate. However, to
understand the corrosion rate under spe-
cific soil resistivity and pH conditions, it
was necessary to perform several gravimet-
ric tests in the laboratory using the follow-
ing methodology:
Electrolytes with soil resistivities of
30,000, 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 3,000, 2,000,
1,000, 500, 300, 200, 100, and 50 Ω·cm
were used, each resistivity with pH values
of 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4, for a total of 72 differ-
ent electrolytes. To prepare these electro-
lytes, the researchers used commercial-
grade sand with a resistivity of 452,390
Ω·cm, distilled water, sodium chloride
(NaCl) solution at 10 wt%, stock solu-
tions of 0.01 M hydrochloric acid (HCl)
and 0.01 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a
resistivity meter employed with a soil
box, and a digital potentiometer.

CORROSION MANAGEMENT

Afterward, the corrosion rate was deter-

mined through gravimetric techniques. The
procedure began by supplying 50 mL of the
first electrolyte to a plastic container. Next,
the first SAE 1018 gravimetric coupon, with
an exposure area of 1,613.0 mm 2 , was
weighed and put in the container. Finally,
another 50 mL of the first electrolyte were
added to the container and it was closed.
After 30 days of exposure, the gravimetric
coupon was taken off and subjected to a
chemical cleaning according to ASTM G16
and its final weight was obtained. The same
tests were performed with the 72 different
electrolytes.

obtained when the soil resistivity values
were of 50, 100, 200, and 300 Ω·cm. The
effect of pH was similar to the exposure
score reported in Table 1. The highest cor-
rosion rate was obtained at pH 4. The mod-
erate corrosion rate was obtained within a
pH range of 5 to 7, and the lowest corrosion
rate was obtained at the pH range of 8 to 9.
In the case of the sample with a soil
resistivity value of 200 Ω·cm and pH 7 (Table
4), a corrosion rate of 0.0793 mm/y was
obtained, which differs from the indirect
corrosion rate of 0.3048 mm/y (Table 2) cal-

198 Ω·cm. FIGURE 2 Comparison of PoF from three types of corrosion rates obtained from a case study (blue

Bridging the Gap with Effective Leadership § 8 to 11:30 a.m.
Full list of speakers will be available on the web site.
Businesses have reported a significant gap between the technical
talent exiting the workforce and skill sets of the new talent working
to fill those voids. The mass exodus of institutional knowledge and
experience retiring, or expecting to retire, has been recognized for
years, yet little has been accomplished to effectively stop the loss.
This begs the question; What can we do differently to achieve our
desired results?
There is no single solution to bridging the gap of technical knowledge
and experience, but any resolution will certainly require effective
leadership from all those involved. Leadership is the skill of influencing
people to work enthusiastically toward goals identified as being for
the common good. Leadership is a journey requiring application of
varying skills along the travels. This forum will provide information on
leadership lifecycles and provide tools to help guide you through the
leadership journey.

Presented by: Michael O'Brien, Mark 10 Resource Group, and
Bill Jenkins, International Paint
Coating failures continue to cost contractors, facility owners, paint
manufacturers, shipbuilders, and fabricators substantial unbudgeted
money every year. To find out how to avoid common and uncommon
causes of coating failures, plan to attend this informative, practical,
and lively presentation. This tutorial is based on hundreds of real-life
coating failures investigated by the presenters during their many years
in the coating industry. It contains numerous NEW examples, from
over 20 different failure investigations involving various coating types
on steel, ductile iron, hot-dip galvanizing, and concrete substrates.
70 FEBRUARY 2019
In addition, this year's session will include a NEW section entitled
“Principles of Sample Collection for Failure Analysis.” Many mistakes
made during the sample collection process make it difficult to perform
proper laboratory analysis. Attendees will learn how to collect samples
properly when coating failures occur to ensure the integrity of the
samples and to facilitate proper laboratory analysis. This tutorial is
extremely practical and it identifies principles and practices required
to avoid the mistakes commonly made by others involved in the
coating industry. This year's presentation includes many NEW case
histories of failures, not previously shown, as well as a special practical
section on the principles of sample collection for failure analysis.

Battle Against Corrosion in Latin America § 1 to 3 p.m.
Presented by: Leonard Uller, Surplus; Richardo Estella, BME Andina;
and Jorge Canto, Corrosion y Protection
The industrial development in Latin America in general has been
driven by the oil and gas industry, as well as by mining of minerals,
mainly iron ore, aluminum, and copper sulfides that were extracted
WWW.MATERIALSPERFORMANCE.COM

Forums
from metals such as iron, aluminum, and copper. In these industries,
corrosion issues at the industrial scale became more apparent,
as well as the need to tackle the problem. In the refineries and gas
transportation industries, corrosion failures were more frequent,
generating the need for failure investigations that were one of the first
actions taken. The universities and research institutes also dedicated
their attention to the corrosion issues, creating research programs in
various countries.
The Latin American professional was presented with challenges for
which new knowledge was needed. In general, NACE was the source
of this knowledge through many of the annual events and papers
presented. Problems identified were similar as in other areas in the
world such as carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion, hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, pitting, high-temperature
corrosion, aging, etc.
With the development of deep well fields, high-temperature
challenges appear in the production facilities, especially for coatings
selection for protection of buried lines. The offshore industry also
presented challenges not present onshore. New materials were
developed for tougher conditions. The rapid development of the
industries demanded a more proactive approach to prevent corrosion
beyond the traditional measures. It took leadership in all countries
that develop corrosion institutes, corrosion programs, corrosion
departments, and corrosion experts to take on the challenges in
materials selection and design, inspection practices, training, and
development. The quest is still alive.
PHMSA Pipeline Safety Forum § 1:30 to 4 p.m.

Corrosion Prediction and Testing for Aerospace and
Defense § 1 to 5 p.m. § Exhibit Hall/Red Theater (Booth 1114)
Presented by: Alan Rose, Corrdesa LLC; Jim Dante, Southwest
Research; Victor Rodriguez-Santiago, NAVAIR; Kristen Williams,
Boeing
The ASTM B117 salt fog corrosion test and its variants have been
the mainstay of corrosion testing for decades, but it has never been
satisfactory because it is a poor predictor of actual performance and
it was built around unrealistic corrosion conditions and chemistries
no longer relevant to modern aerospace materials and coatings.
In recent years a great deal of work has been done to understand
material interactions and corrosion mechanisms. At the same time
computer modeling of corrosion and fluid dynamics of electrolytes
have improved our ability to understand and predict corrosion in
complex assemblies. There are several current programs aimed at
72 FEBRUARY 2019
developing better quantitative science-based prediction and testing
methods, in particular for the aerospace and defense industries.
The purpose of this forum is to provide an update on aerospace
and defense corrosion prediction and testing, and opportunity for
input and discussion. Some of the new methods under development
for testing and modeling will be presented and discussed in an
informal manner to allow for learning and discussion with the
broader corrosion community. The ultimate aim is to leverage these
new technologies and frame more comprehensive, relevant, and
objectively based accelerated test methods for other industries.

Presented by: Rae Marie Mattis and Robert Boswell
The NACE International Coatings and Water Councils will hold
a shared forum covering corrosion issues and solutions in their
respective industries. The presentations will cover best practices,
regional projects, lessons learned, and emerging technologies from
the following leading organizations and industry experts:
Bob Dahlstrom, Apellix—Utilizing Robotics and Drones for Inspection
Allison Stroeble, Pure Technologies, Ltd.—Condition Assessment
Technologies for Water and Wastewater Metallic Pipes
Kent Weisenberg, SIPP Tech—Design and Development of a
Robotically Applied, Fully Structural (Class IV), Lining System for Large
Diameter Water Infrastructure Linear Assets
Dr. Rebekah Wilson, R&D lead for USACE Paint Technology Center—
The USACE Paint Technology Center (PTC) is recognized as a
Center of Expertise for the U.S. Army Corps in the area of paints and
coatings. The PTC offers a wide array of services including quality
assurance testing, field technical support, educational classes and
training, community outreach, and a multimillion dollar research

How Coatings and Welding Overlap
1:30 to 3 p.m. § Exhibit Hall/Blue Theater (Booth 2108)
Presented by: John Pariseau, American Institute
of Nondestructive Testing
The coating, welding, and nondestructive testing quality professions
commonly overlay within industries. Because of the separation and
different operating methods of the societies, it is often difficult for
inspectors of one profession to expeditiously learn about another.
The presentation will cover:
1. An overview of the AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI)
Program and its associated endorsements consisting of an
explanation of the exam structure and general knowledge and
experience to achieve the title of Certified Welding Inspector.
2. An overview of what duties a CWI is typically tasked with.
3. A discussion of the overlap from welding fabrication/construction
inspection into industrial coating inspection and items between
the two that may cause some confliction.

Concentration on Coatings at
CORROSION 2019
NACE International’s annual conference will feature new insights
and interactive events for the protective coatings industry

At this year’s CORROSION conference delegates from all sectors of the industrial paint and coatings industry will
get an in-depth look at the latest trends in coating technology, as well as insights from contractors, inspectors,
and suppliers.

Experts from the NACE International Institute’s Contractor Accreditation Program (NIICAP) will be on-site to share
information and answer questions from contractors looking to grow their business.

Preparing for your Audit: A Technical Discussion on the Contractor Accreditation Program from a Chief NIICAP Auditor
Launched in 2015, the NACE International Institute Contractor Accreditation Program (NIICAP) is an industry-driven and
industry-managed accreditation program that verifies a contractor’s quality-assurance program, support practices, production
processes, and personnel management and training program. At this informal session, NIICAP Chief Auditor TJ Mead will
present a high-level overview of the NIICAP program, answer questions, and discuss real-world case studies of NIICAP-
accredited contractors.
Tuesday, March 26 | 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM | Corrosive Chronicles Blue Theater, Exhibit Hall

NIICAP Forum: Technical Discussion of the NIICAP Audit Process

The NIICAP process is transparent, industry-driven and customer-focused, resulting in a robust accreditation program
that endorses only those coating contractors that have been audited and have a documented record of capabilities and
competencies necessary to meet owner requirements. This forum will discuss the complexities and challenges of the NIICAP
audit process, from application to on-site audit. NIICAP team members, including Chief Auditor TJ Mead and Chairman,
NIICAP Oversight Board, Connor McManus, will share case studies and present a forecast of the program’s future growth.

Special Lectures
PLENARY LECTURE Digby D. Macdonald | Tuesday, March 26 | 8 to 9 a.m.

Born in Thames, New Zealand, December 7, 1943, Professor Digby D. Macdonald gained his B.Sc. and
M.Sc. degrees in chemistry at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and his Ph.D. degree in chemistry
from the University of Calgary in Canada. He has served as assistant research officer at Atomic Energy
of Canada, Ltd.; lecturer in chemistry at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand; senior research
associate at Alberta Sulfur Research; honorary associate professor at the Chemistry Department of the
University of Calgary; director and professor of the Fontana Corrosion Center, Ohio State University; vice
president, Physical Sciences Division, SRI International, Menlo Park, California; and professor and later
distinguished professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University from 1991
to the end of 2012. He is currently a professor in residence with the Departments of Materials Science and
Engineering and Nuclear Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley.

Dr. Macdonald has published about 1,000 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings, plus four
books, one of which (Transient Techniques in Electrochemistry) established an important area of electrochemical research, and has 10
patents and numerous invention disclosures credited to his name. His professional competence lies in the fields of electrochemistry,
corrosion science, battery science and technology, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, high-temperature aqueous chemistry, nuclear
power technology, energy conversion technology, and physical chemistry. Finally, under his tutelage, more than 150 students have
graduated with advanced degrees in chemistry and materials science and engineering over the past four decades. Of particular
importance is that Dr. Macdonald is the originator of the modern theory of passivity in the form of the Point Defect Model and has been a
pioneer of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, particularly for corrosion reaction mechanistic analysis.

Abstract: How Well Can We Predict Localized Corrosion?

Various forms of localized corrosion, including pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and corrosion
fatigue (CF), are responsible for the majority of corrosion-related failures in industrial, military, and infrastructural systems. These forms of
corrosion are often referred to as being “insidious,” because they often result in failures with little forewarning and until recently have been
difficult to predict. However, all localized corrosion processes comprise three distinct stages: initiation, propagation, and death and each
of these stages in the life of a single event are now amenable to deterministic prediction. Although these three stages occur sequentially
for a single event, the events tend to occur in parallel for a population in a “progressive nucleation, growth, death (PNGD)” scenario that
is reminiscent of the demographics of a population of living entities (e.g., human beings). The evolution of such damage is best described
by a “Damage Function (DF)” in a protocol termed “Damage Function Analysis (DFA).” The DF is a histogram of the number of events vs.
event depth and each DF contains information on each stage of a single event and on the PNGD of the population, such that the depth of
the deepest event can be predicted. During this plenary lecture, I will review that basis of DFA with emphasis on the scientific basis of each
stage and I will identify the overarching principles at play. I will then illustrate the application of DFA to a number of practical problems, such
as pitting in oil and gas pipelines, SCC of stainless steels in the coolant circuits of nuclear power reactors, and CF in aerospace aluminum
alloys.

KEYNOTE SESSION
Jack Uldrich | Monday, March 25 | 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Corrosion's Crystal Ball: The future will arrive sooner than you think.
What are the Uber-type ideas impacting our field?

Seventy-five years ago, in a small room in Houston, Texas, 11 pipeline engineers

recognized a threat society wasn’t prepared for—unmitigated corrosion. Those engineers had the
foresight to create NACE, an organization dedicated to sharing knowledge and expertise with the mission
of addressing the threat of corrosion. Never could they have envisioned the community and body of
knowledge that is today’s NACE International.

What advancements will revolutionize our industry over the next 75 years? Virtual reality? Artificial intelligence? Autonomous systems?
Join NACE for an exclusive keynote session with best-selling author and renowned futurist, Jack Uldrich. During this interactive discussion
of the changing technological landscape, Uldrich will apply his expertise and share insight into how technology will impact the corrosion
industry’s mission and profession.

Uldrich is a globally influential futurist, speaker, and award-winning author of 11 books and bestsellers. He is a frequent speaker
on technology, change management, and leadership and has addressed hundreds of corporations, associations, and not-for-profit
organizations worldwide. He regularly makes television appearances on the Science Channel and the Discovery Channel, and is a frequent
guest of several major media outlets, including CNN, CNBC, and National Public Radio.

Uldrich is also an ongoing contributor on emerging technologies and future trends for a number of publications, including The Wall
Street Journal, Forbes, Wired Magazine, and BusinessWeek.

Uldrich is a former naval intelligence officer and Department of Defense official. He served as the director of the Minnesota Office
of Strategic and Long-Range Planning under Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. His most recent book is Foresight 20/20: A Futurist
Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow and his forthcoming book is Business as Unusual: How to Future-Proof Yourself Against
Tomorrow’s Transformational Trends, Today.

Don’t miss this fascinating keynote session. Your future self will thank you!

THERE’S A REASON WE
MAKE THEM RUGGED.
We make our range of decouplers
rugged for a reason. Applications include:
They have to work under the most demanding • AC Voltage Mitigation
conditions, even when it’s bitter cold outside. • Insulated Joint Protection
• Decoupling Equipment
Fact is, Dairyland’s reputation is built on Grounding Systems
reliability and that’s why we make our electrical • Gradient Control Mat
Decoupling
equipment nearly indestructible.

orrosion Management is a
concept we are hearing
about more frequently
these days at NACE Inter-
national. Improving the
management of corrosion reduces its likeli-
hood of occurring and leads to a reduction
in risk and extension of asset life. While the
science and technology of corrosion pre-
vention and control are well-established,
their implementation can sometimes falter,
resulting in unintended consequences and
financial costs. A corrosion management
system (CMS) is an important means of
improving the implementation of corrosion
control knowledge and tools within an
organization.
Task Group (TG) 564 under Specific
Technology Group (STG) 08 is developing
a corrosion management framework
standard intended to be applicable to a
wide variety of assets across all types of
industries and organizations. The CMS
framework standard provides require-
ments and guidance to end users on ele-
ments such as;
8 Establishing and maintaining the
appropriate organizational structure
to support the CMS.
8 Processes to facilitate and verify corro-
sion management throughout the asset
life cycle.
8 Processes to prevent, detect, mitigate,
and eliminate near misses and
nonconformance with corrosion
management procedures, specifica-
tions, regulations, and referenced
standards.
Mentors Make a Difference
Find a mentor. Be a mentor.
www.nace.org/BeAMentor
8 Methods to measure each process’s
effectiveness and enact continual
improvement and sustainability of the
CMS.
The draft standard went to ballot on
November 9, 2018 and TG 564 is working
to address any comments and negative
votes before CORROSION 2019. The high-
level framework standard will also be
useful for guiding other future CMS stan-
dards that arise from NACE technical
committees. One such standard is being
worked on by TG 370 (under STG 35) for
Pipeline Corrosion Management. The
pipeline-specific corrosion management
standard will include more technical
details relevant to pipelines, such as the
roles of integrity management, design
and construction, etc.
TG 564’s CMS standard will also sup-
port IMPACT PLUS, a platform developed
under the NACE International Institute
(NII) to benchmark practices and improve
corrosion management across all industry
sectors. IMPACT PLUS is focused on help-
ing companies improve their performance
with corrosion management systems and
certification of personnel. These new tools
and resources originated from the NACE
IMPACT Study that was published in 2016
(G.H. Koch, et al., “NACE IMPACT, Interna-
tional Measures of Prevention, Applica-
tion, and Economics of Corrosion
Technologies Study” (Houston, TX: NACE
International, 2016). See www.nace-
impact.org for more details.

eginning in January, CORROSION
journal kicked off its 75th anniver-
sary celebration. This will include
special content published throughout the
year, including themed issues of the jour-
nal, invited critical reviews, perspectives on
classic articles, essays from authors and
reviewers, additional web content, and
more. There is also a new look on the jour-
nal’s web site (www.corrosionjournal.org)
and the issues of CORROSION have been
redesigned as well.
Special Issues in 2019
January’s issue of CORROSION marked
the first of four special themed issues or
sections for the year. Featuring research
articles by members of the Editorial Board,
January’s issue highlights a fraction of the
subject matter expertise and the breadth
of corrosion-related topics published in
CORROSION. If you are interested in learn-
ing more about the Editorial Board, check
out the new web page.
Special issues continue in March, with
“Research Topical Symposium (RTS) 2018:
Corrosion Lifetime Prediction,” in memory
of Roger W. Staehle. Additional special
issues and sections include the Depart-
ment of Defense-Allied Nations Corrosion
Special Issue on Science and Engineering
(May) and Steel & Hydrogen 2018 (August).
There will be a number of invited critical
reviews later this year, with topics ranging
from atomic emission spectroelectro-
chemistry (AESEC) to computer modeling.
Perspectives on Classic Articles
February’s issue features the journal’s
first “Perspective on a Classic Article,”
discussing G.S. Frankel’s 1987 article on
Metastable Pitting. There will be addi-
tional Perspectives published throughout
the year.

CORROSION BASICS
Locating Pipeline Coating
Defects with a Pearson Survey
O
ne of the first successful
techniques for locat-
ing coating defects
(holidays) on buried
pipelines using surface
electrical measurements is the Pearson
survey, named after its inventor. Once
these defects have been identified, the
protection levels afforded by the cathodic
protection (CP) system can be investigated
at these critical locations in more detail.
Decisions regarding coating rehabilita-
tion can also be developed on the basis of
specific information.
Several variations of this test method
have been developed since J.M. Pearson
introduced it in 1941. The procedure
described here is essentially Pearson’s
original concept. For piping with thick-
film coatings, an alternating current
signal of ~1,000 Hz is imposed ( for thin-
film coatings, a frequency of 175 Hz is
typical) by means of a transmitter, which is
connected to the pipeline and a temporary
remote earth ground (often established
with one or more earth spikes). Two
survey operators make earth contact
either through aluminum poles or metal
cleats fastened to their shoes. A distance
of several meters (typically 6 to 8 m [20 to
25 ft]) separates the operators. Essentially,
the signal measured by the receiver, tuned
to the transmitter frequency, is the poten-
tial gradient over the distance between the
two operators. Defects are indicated by a
change in the potential gradient, which
translates into a change in signal intensity.
The measurements are usually
recorded while walking directly over the
pipeline. As the lead operator approaches
a defect, increasing signal intensity is
noted. As the lead person moves away

Understanding the basic principles
and causes of corrosion
from the defect, the signal intensity
drops and later picks up again as the rear
operator approaches the defect. The inter-
pretation of signals requires some skill
and practice, as indications can become
confusing when several defects are located
between the two operators. The location
of a holiday indication can be refined by
reducing the distance between the opera-
tors and resurveying the area.
In principle, a Pearson survey can be
performed with an impressed CP system
remaining energized. Sacrificial anodes
and bonds to other structures should be
disconnected, because they can appear as
very large earth contacts that may mask
actual coating defects. An additional
person is usually required to locate and
mark the pipeline, place defect markers
into the ground, and reposition the trans-
mitter periodically.
By walking the entire length of the
pipeline, an overall inspection of the right-
of-way can be made together with the
measurements. In principle, all significant
defects and metallic conductors causing a
potential gradient will be detected. There
are no trailing wires and the impressed CP
current does not have to be interrupted or
deactivated.
The limitations associated with
Pearson surveys are similar to those
associated with the close interval poten-
tial survey (CIS)—a method where the
potential profile of a pipeline is recorded
over its entire length by collecting poten-
tial readings at intervals of ~1 m. With a
Pearson survey, the entire pipeline also
has to be walked and contact established
with the soil electrolyte. The technique is
therefore unsuitable for deepwater cross-
ings and inaccessible areas. Reasonable
results have been obtained using earth
contact through drilled holes in paving,
similar to CIS.
Modern variations on the classical
Pearson survey include the use of audio
signals, signal null indications, single-
surveyor techniques, and the lateral
Pearson survey, where one operator
walks over the pipeline while the second
maintains a constant lateral separation.
While each of these offers advantages in
specific situations, the original Pearson
survey remains an important technique;
and it is included in NACE Standard
TM0109, “Aboveground Survey Techniques
for the Evaluation of Underground
Pipeline Coating Condition.”
