Is Rust and Corrosion of underground pipelines resulting in the loss of valuable petrochemicals of your Organisation?

If your organisation is transporting petrochemicals through underground pipelines, you are probably spending a lot on maintenace costs. Because underground pipelines come into contact with water and water saturated soil which contain salt and oxygen.

Due to this combination, an electro-chemical reaction takes place between metal and surrounding soil, resulting in corrosion of a complex nature. This results in damage to underground pipelines and leakage of valuable petrochemicals that may go undetected for a long time.

Periodic change of pipelines, as a remedy, results in disruption of supply and involves extremely high investments.

CEL supplies Automatic Electronic Cathodic Protection (Anti-corrosion) Systems for the protection of Oil/Gas Pipelines to organisations like Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd.(ONGC), Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL), etc.

CEL supplies the CP Systems with Solar Photovoltaic or Thermo Electric power sources or for operation on Grid Supply.

CEL's cost effective Anti-Corrosion Technology for Underground Pipelines:

Now, CEL brings you the Solar Powered Cathodic Protection System, an impressed current type cathodic protection method that continuously guards underground pipelines against rust and corrosion, in all kinds of soils and weather.

A Cathodic Protection(CP) Station for Oil/Gas pipeline

This system forces a continual flow of electric current to pass from the embedded anode through the soil and into the pipeline, thus creating an electric field at the surface of the metal. The result is an invisible shield over the entire length of the pipeline to guard against all corrosive elements, at all times.

This extends the life of the pipeline and eliminates the need for replacement. In addition, the system is solar powered and runs on solar energy which is entirely free! This system also stores the energy provided by the solar photovoltaic cells in a battery bank.

This enables it to provide a continual source of energy, even in remote, unelectrified areas. This makes running costs almost negligible. However, it also compares favourably on investment even when it is worked on A.C. mains.

An added advantage is the fact that since the system is modular it is adaptable to small as well as long sections of pipelines and can be custom-built to fit individual needs.
