In oil and gas production, corrosion engineering is a specific technical solution for tackling corrosion issues, which may include corrosion monitoring, testing and mitigation:
- Materials Selection (steels, corrosion resistant alloys, non metallic materials)
- Chemical Treatment (corrosion inhibitors, biocides)
- Use of Coatings (metallic, non-metallic and organic / paints)
- Cathodic Protection (galvanic or impressed current)
- Environmental Factor Control (Pressure, temperature, dew point, TEG dehydration etc.)
- Design (valve selection, erosive velocity limit etc)
