An Age-Old Problem: Addressing Aging Pipeline Coating Threats

As pipeline coatings deteriorate, traditional CP systems struggle with current distribution and rising operating costs. MATCOR’s Ted Huck examines rehabilitation alternatives, including linear anode systems that saved over $1.5 million versus recoating on a 5-kilometer pipeline segment.

Cased Pipeline Crossings and VCI [Rusty Talks]

Cased pipeline crossings present unique corrosion challenges for operators. This article explores the use of vapor corrosion inhibitors…
PHMSA Mega Rule Update

PHMSA Mega Rule

The PHMSA Mega Rule expands federal pipeline safety oversight to all onshore gas gathering pipelines, adding tens of thousands of previously unregulated miles to corrosion control requirements. Affected operators must design, maintain, and test cathodic protection systems under CFR 49 Part 192.

Linear Anodes for Hard-to-Reach Places [Rusty Talks]

Linear anodes installed parallel to aging pipelines in rural Kansas resolved cathodic protection gaps that remote impressed current systems could not address. An Energy Transfer case study shows how proper power feed cable design is essential for achieving even current distribution with linear anode systems.

Pipeline Internal Corrosion Prevention with VCI

Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) provide targeted protection for internal pipeline surfaces, particularly after hydrotesting when residual moisture and bacteria create elevated corrosion risk. MATCOR completed a West Texas project injecting over 24,000 gallons of VCI solution into above-ground pipeline manifolds to…

Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring

Cathodic protection remote monitoring systems allow pipeline operators to continuously oversee CP and AC mitigation performance without dispatching technicians to remote locations. This article covers the equipment, features, and data transmission methods common in modern CP remote monitoring deployments.
