As metallic structures corrode externally when they are exposed to water, also do internal parts of metallic structures corrode as they encounter water.
Mountleigh Oil and Energy Limited offers the specialized services to mitigate the rate of internal corrosion through chemical injection and monitors the rate of corrosion through coupon installation, retrieval, and analysis. Notably, our partnership with RCSL significantly contributes to our expertise in internal corrosion control, enhancing the depth and effectiveness of our solutions including to make available a comprehensive range of materials and designs to meet your requirements in the Nigerian oil and gas industry. All materials are traceable, tested and certified according to the project requirements
RCSL’s products allow monitoring of internal pipe conditions while the pipe system is in service. Our Triseal® Access fitting systems, coupons, probes, retrieval tools and service valves offer a complete turnkey solution for monitoring of internal corrosion rates and providing accurate data for operators to adjust and optimise their chemical dosing accordingly.
MONITOR RATE OF INTERNAL CORROSION WITH OUR INSTRUMENTATION & DATA LOGGERS
- Corrosion data loggers are available in permanently installed and hand held portable versions for the accurate measurement of ER and LPR probes.
- Permanently installed data-transmitters or combined data-logger/transmitters are available. These units are certified for Hazardous area installation and offer RS-485 Modbus, RTU or ASCII Protocol communications.
- The instrument takes probe readings on a user programmable logging interval. Readings are time and date stamped as they are taken, then stored to memory.
- Between readings, the instrument remains in a “sleep” mode to conserve main battery power. The instrument’s memory is capable of storing more than 100,000 readings, and is stored in non-volatile Flash memory.
- RCSL also offers panel / rack mounted receiver units for the plant control room for use with the data transmitter.
- The data obtained from these instruments can be analysed using the corrosion monitoring software supplied with the instruments.
Application of Internal Corrosion Control
- Surface pipeline and Buried Structures – oil, gas, and product pipelines
- Refineries – petrochemical and other processing plant
- Power Station – cooling water systems.

FAQs About Internal Corrosion Control
Internal corrosion can compromise the integrity of pipelines and equipment, leading to leaks, failures, and safety hazards. It can also result in production losses and costly repairs.
Water content can enhance the corrosivity of the produced fluid. Proper water treatment and removal are crucial to mitigating internal corrosion risks.
Corrosive elements include hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), water, and various contaminants. These substances can accelerate the corrosion of metal surfaces.
Monitoring techniques include corrosion coupons, corrosion probes, ultrasonic testing, and intelligent pigging tools that inspect the interior of pipelines for signs of corrosion.
Common methods include the injection of corrosion inhibitors into the production stream, the use of corrosion-resistant alloys, cathodic protection systems, and regular inspection and maintenance.
