AC Mitigation Project Installation
How MATCOR’s expert team completed a critical 20,000-foot mitigation project ahead of schedule—with zero incidents.
Article Image: An Age Old Problem for Pipeline Coatings
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.

MATCOR’s Ted Huck presented a case study at an AMPP Big Sky Section meeting detailing the casing repair of a high-pressure natural gas pipeline beneath railroad tracks. The project scope included removing an electrical short, sealing the casing, and installing a vapor corrosion inhibitor through the vent pipe.
JA Electronics explosion-proof rectifiers for tank CP project in Mexico.
MATCOR completed a cathodic protection project for nine aboveground storage tanks at a port facility in Altamira, Mexico. Scope included design, engineering, materials supply, installation supervision, and commissioning using SPL Linear Anodes and custom explosion-proof rectifiers for Class 1 Div 2 areas.
protecting marine structures corrosion
MATCOR’s Ted Huck discusses impressed current cathodic protection for terminal marine structures—including docks, jetties, piers, seawalls, and sheet pilings—in the June 2021 issue of Tanks and Terminals. The article includes a case study from a Texas Gulf Coast facility protecting a combi-wall structure.
preparing vci installation
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…
ac interference mitigation wyoming
MATCOR manufactured and installed over 73,500 linear feet of Mitigator® AC mitigation gradient control wire, three deep grounding systems, and remote monitoring units for a new pipeline-transmission line collocation in Southern Wyoming, completing the project one day ahead of schedule.
pipeline recoating 600x600 1
MATCOR partnered with BrandSafway’s Industrial Specialists to complete a turnkey cathodic protection upgrade and pipeline recoating project in Oklahoma, including safe removal of pre-1980 asbestos-containing pipe coating at six anode bed and seven test station locations, finishing two weeks ahead of schedule.
deep anode system installation
Enerfin Resources Company, a midstream operator in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, selected MATCOR’s Durammo® deep anode system for three installations, confirming the factory-assembled design installed as easily as promised and expressing plans to use the system on future projects.
replaceable anode system installation drawing
MATCOR completed the first horizontal directional drilling tank cathodic protection installation in the Middle East, deploying a replaceable linear anode system beneath a critical ethylene storage tank at Equate Petrochemicals in Kuwait after a perimeter anode approach failed to meet NACE criteria.
ac mitigation grounding sketch
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.
tank anode system assemblies
MATCOR supplied tank anode systems for the $12 billion Dangote oil refinery project in Nigeria, which includes 153 above ground storage tanks on 6,180 acres outside Lagos. Engineer’s India Limited selected MATCOR’s impressed current linear anode technology as the design basis for tank bottom cathodic protection.
