It is now commonly recognised that cathodically-protected pipelines (and other metal structures) can be affected by AC from nearby power lines or traction systems, commonly referred to as AC mitigation. This phenomenon is thought to be of particular concern in the case of pipelines with high quality (e.g. fusion-bonded epoxy) coatings [...]
Steel pipelines that are buried go through corrosion over time if not given proper protection against corrosion. The rate of corrosion is also faster in soils that are subjected to corrosive elements like saltwater. The first line of corrosion protection includes protective coatings along the pipe like resin and epoxy [...]
Pipelines are a significant attractor for lightning, and in some regions of the world strikes can occur frequently. Abriox has always designed lightning protection into our MERLIN monitors. However, to achieve the best protection it is necessary to understand how much energy is present when lightning strikes, what the [...]
Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathodic side of an electrochemical cell. The simplest method to apply CP is by connecting the metal to be protected with another more easily corroded metal to act as the [...]

CINCINNATI, Ohio (January 15, 2018) The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that natural gas production will rise more than expected—by nearly 1 billion cubic feet per day—in 2018 due to an uptick in exports and gas-fired electricity generation. To help distribution companies improve network efficiency, Abriox has introduced OSPREY, [...]
OSPREY PL and PL Plus have arrived! The next generation of Gas Pressure Monitoring is here! Abriox’s OSPREY® system reduces costs for gas utilities and improves the quality and reliability of the gas pressure data. In turn the improved network model will enable better decisions to be taken to optimise [...]
Abriox were pleased to exhibit at The annual AGA Operations Conference. This gave us the opportunity to showcase the OSPREY PL and PL Plus to the many Gas Networks operators that attended the show. The versatile Osprey PL Plus is a remote pressure monitoring unit allowing monitoring of either a [...]
