Whitepaper / Cathodic Protection Data Analysis
Data Analysis techniques explored in this paper combine CIS measurements and coupon RMU measurements resulting in a better understanding of the spatial and temporal variation in protection currents.
Armed with this knowledge, a pipeline operator can optimize cathodic protection system operation by reducing or increasing protection currents at different times of the year. When visualized in various formats these tools can also aid pipeline operators and corrosion engineers in making more informed decisions about maintenance and mitigation activities. For instance, areas with consistently low or negative potentials can be flagged for further investigation and remedial action.
