?? New Article Alert! Why Cathodic Protection Fail Protect Subsea Pipelines from Internal Corrosion? ?? Did you know that cathodic protection (CP) does NOT protect subsea pipelines from internal corrosion? ?? While CP is highly effective for preventing external corrosion, it simply doesn’t work inside the pipeline. So why does internal corrosion remain a major challenge? And what alternative strategies can operators use to mitigate it? ?? Read our latest article: "Why Cathodic Protection Fail Protect Subsea Pipelines from Internal Corrosion" ?? Let’s discuss! What are your thoughts on the best ways to tackle internal corrosion in subsea pipelines?
