AC CORROSION

AC corrosion is today recognised as a potential threat to a buried metal pipeline.

AC corrosion monitoring must be carried out regularly for AC levels at transformer rectifiers and test posts. But on-site AC checks are labour-intensive, costly and (importantly) reactive - they do not identify corrosion problems but are merely spot AC measurements taken after a corrosion problem may have occurred.

Abriox’s MERLIN Remote AC Monitoring System takes functional checks at TRs and test posts automatically, analyses and stores the data and transmits it wirelessly to a central location. Remote AC monitoring for CP is proactive - ie it identifies potential corrosion problems at the test post or TR and alerts the operator immediately. It has important economic, operational, safety and environmental benefits.

The MERLIN remote AC monitoring system is the ideal solution for monitoring AC levels economically.
