Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors
Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) protect metal surfaces by diffusing through confined spaces and forming a molecular barrier against moisture and oxygen. This guide covers VCI applications for pipelines and storage tanks, monitoring methods, relevant industry standards, and MATCOR’s partnership with Zerust® Oil & Gas.
MATCOR is Hiring!
MATCOR is actively recruiting as the company expands operations in the Gulf Coast, Permian Basin, and Rockies regions, adding new drilling rigs, Mud Puppy filtration systems, and water trucks to meet growing cathodic protection service demand.
Have Extra 2019 Budget Monies?
MATCOR recommends using remaining 2019 cathodic protection budget funds to purchase materials—including Mitigator® AC mitigation wire, SPL™ linear anodes, Durammo® deep anode systems, and MMP™ canister anodes—before year-end for installation in early 2020.
Case Study: AC Mitigation Design Criterion – It Matters
On a 200-mile pipeline project with 41 high-voltage AC collocations, changing the AC mitigation design criterion from 30 A/m² to 50 A/m² and refining input data reduced parallel mitigation requirements by nearly 50 miles, illustrating how criterion selection significantly affects project scope and cost.
AST Cathodic Protection System Tank Isolation Considerations
Electrical isolation of above-ground storage tanks from connected piping and grounding systems is an important design consideration for cathodic protection, particularly for deep anode systems prone to significant current losses.
Oil Cooled Cathodic Protection Transformer Rectifiers: Why, when and where…
Oil-cooled cathodic protection transformer rectifiers are used when power requirements exceed air-cooled enclosure capacity, in severe or marine environments, or in Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations.
Helium Leak Testing for Cathodic Protection Anodes
MATCOR now offers optional helium leak testing on its full range of SPL™ linear anode products, providing a rigorous connection verification method for clients whose specifications require 100% testing of cathodic protection anode assemblies.
More than just a new truck smell!
MATCOR has invested in a new fleet of larger drilling rigs, purpose-built water trucks, and MudPuppy® solids control systems for deep anode cathodic protection installations, improving drilling efficiency, reducing crew footprint, and minimizing on-site environmental impact.
Manufacturing Quality: What Does It Mean To Be Exceptional?
MATCOR’s ISO-certified manufacturing quality system at its Chalfont, Pennsylvania facility is built on documented procedures, team training, supplier standards, daily KPI measurement, and continuous improvement to ensure consistent quality in cathodic protection and AC mitigation products.
Dan Vallot Joins MATCOR as Account Manager
Dan Vallot has joined MATCOR as Account Manager for the Gulf Coast region, covering Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia from the company’s Gonzales, Louisiana office.
MATCOR Welcomes Three New Account Managers
MATCOR introduces three new account managers for the Gulf, Mid-Continent, and Rockies regions. Dave Arnold, Ryan Spillane, and Trey Smith bring backgrounds in energy and industrial services and will attend the 2019 NACE Central Area Conference in San Antonio.
Here we grow again!
MATCOR celebrated the grand opening of its new Midland, Texas field office in October 2019, expanding capacity to serve clients in the Permian Basin. A second new office in Casper, Wyoming supports growing demand in the Rockies region.
