Pipe line corrosion is the biggest single cause of actual water loss in the water distribution industry.
Pipes corrode because they are at a higher electronic potential than the surrounding earth and the resultant electric current flow removes metal from the pipe. This results in pin holes which grow to larger holes and pipe bursts.
Most enterprises has a leak detection and repair function. Additional and bigger, long-term, savings can be achieved by monitoring the pipe’s Cathodic Potential, and then making sure that corrective action is in place and operational.
Isoil provide a simple-to-implement system for strategic monitoring of pipe Cathodic Potential which is independent of any installed Protection Systems.
