Increasing emphasis is being placed upon control of carrier pipe corrosion inside cased pipeline crossings from both an operator and regulatory perspective. Inline inspection associated with pipeline integrity management programs has identified external carrier pipe corrosion inside casings. Many factors contribute to this corrosion concern. Systems designed to proactively mitigate corrosion inside cased crossings were not readily available. The desire for a proactive carrier pipe corrosion control system led a pipeline operator and a company expert in the manufacture and application of volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) chemistry to consider a new corrosion mitigation solution. This effort resulted in the development of a unique product designed to fill the annular space of a casing with a gelatinous product that proactively controls carrier pipe corrosion and prevents intrusion of water, etc. into the annular space. The gel filler has been applied inside cased crossings since late 2011. Electrical resistance probes have been installed through the casing vents and submerged in the filler to the carrier pipe surface. The probes are monitored remotely with automated technology. The corrosion rate data validates the effectiveness of the VCI filler.
