Corrolytics has developed the first-of-its-kind electrochemical technology that can accurately measure corrosion and differentiate MIC from other types of corrosion.
Prevent damage and increase safety of oil and gas pipelines
Reduce biocide and chemical treatments
Reduce replacement costs and catastrophic injury or oil spills
Current techniques used to test for microbial growth in pipes include MIC kits, lab analysis and coupon testing. However, for a variety of reasons, these techniques are time consuming and inaccurate.
Current Techniques are Inaccurate
Current monitoring approaches cannot accurately provide a specific corrosion mitigation plan as the mitigation plan depends on the type of corrosion present. These techniques only test for the presence of microorganisms and not microbial corrosion, they can’t differentiate abiotic corrosion from biotic corrosion. This is essential to know so that the user can implement the appropriate mitigation program as it depends on the type of corrosion.
Current Techniques are Time Consuming
On an average, the analysis usually takes 5-30 days.
In Lab Testing Can Provide:
- Biotic Corrosion Rate (mpy/mmpy)
- General Corrosion Rate
- Differentiates between Biotic and General corrosion
- Pitting Corrosion Analysis
- Determine Biocide Efficacy
- DNA Analysis
- Water Chemistry Analysis
- Metal Surface Characterization
