I am interested in wax and hydrate formation in pipelines. Are you covering multiphase behaviour of live crude oils in this project? Is it experimental, numerical or a combination of both approaches?
The line required for corrosion protection while the nature of multiphase pipelines is such that the combined use of protective coatings with cathodic protection is necessary to achieve the effective protection. In fact, protective coatings help control pipeline corrosion by providing a barrier against reactants such as oxygen and water. But, because all organic coatings are semipermeable to oxygen and water, coatings alone cannot prevent corrosion and so a combination of cathodic protection is often used.
