Invention Summary
The Smart Oil and Gas Pipeline Corrosion Coupon (CorrTrack) provides an innovative system for evaluating underdeposit corrosion (UDC) in industrial pipelines, including oil and gas. This system includes a dual coupon body setup where the second coupon body, which contains corrosive materials, is partially covered by the first coupon body.
This configuration allows for precise monitoring and analysis of corrosion processes under various industrial conditions. Also, it allows the real evaluation of the efficiency of underdeposit corrosion inhibitors.
Key Benefits and Features
-
Enhanced Monitoring: Enables detailed observation and analysis of corrosion under real pipeline conditions, including laminar and turbulent flows.
-
Modular Design: Features removable dividers and sections for testing different corrosive materials and conditions on a single platform.
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for laboratory and field use, providing flexibility in corrosion testing.
-
Easy Data Collection: Compatible with simple visual inspection tools and advanced image analysis, facilitating quick and accurate corrosion assessment.
Market Potential
The market for underdeposit corrosion (UDC) monitoring and testing, along with UDC corrosion inhibitors, is part of the broader corrosion inhibitors market. This market was valued at approximately USD 7.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow to around USD 10.1 billion by 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.9%.
Industry Feedback
"In our field tests, the Smart Corrosion Coupon provided unprecedented insights into corrosion processes, exceeding our traditional monitoring systems."
