In the upstream pipelines, the application of the internal pipeline coatings with specialized polymer has been utilized to protect pipeline from corrosion and abrasive wears. The coatings are rearranged or re-lined when the coating wears out. However, there is no direct and continuous monitoring for the integrity of internal pipeline coatings. Thus the rearrangement or re-lining of the coating is performed pre-emptively before fully utilizing the coating. It is required to develop a novel technique, not only for the efficiency but also to prevent pipeline leakage. The proposed project will develop a system embedded inside the coating, changing its electrochemical properties upon damage. Various nanocomposite compositions will be tested, leading to the optimized sensor system. The proposed project gives ROSEN group advantages in the pipeline industry as they could extend the lifetime of coating and ensure the safety of pipeline.
