IEV Forms Alliance With Omniflex To Bring The Powerview CP, A High-tech Cloud Based Remote CP Monitoring Service

IEV is pleased to announce the partnership with OMNIFLEX, a 50-year old remote monitoring specialist that supplies a range of remote monitoring solutions to cathodic protection, tank farms, industrial equipment, to name a few. The first product to be launched by the alliance IEV-OMNIFLEX IS the PowerView CP, a remote cathodic protection system that can be installed to monitor new or existing ICCP system. In addition to the array of benefits, the PowerView CP employs a specially designed High Efficiency Transformer Rectifiers (TR) based on the principle of distributed CP that offers significant reduction in cabling and energy costs. In embracing the Internet of Things (IoT), the PowerView CP runs on a remote controlling software that enables the CP Engineer to monitor the CP condition from anywhere internet is accessible.

With proven effectiveness on many ports, harbours and bridges, the PowerView CP is now available in South East Asia, India and Nigeria through the IEV network.

Remediation of Corrosion Under Pipe Support (CUPS) by Trenton Wax-Tapes

Challenges

Corrosion under pipe support (CUPS) is a major hidden threat and one of the most aggressive types of corrosion attack on piping systems. CUPS is caused by several factors. Traditionally, the design of pipe supports allows for crevices to be formed which can lead to crevice corrosion in the presence of moisture. Protective coating damages, metal to metal contact and galvanic corrosion also lead to CUPS. The most common causes of external piping failure in ageing assets are due to highly localised deterioration by corrosion in areas which are less accessible and difficult to inspect and repair. As a result, operators may face huge pipe replacement costs, loss of pressure containment and production or in some cases, explosion and massive economic consequences.

Preventing Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) With IEV’s Marine Growth Preventers For Jetties

For the last 30 years IEV has deployed its Marine Growth Preventers (MGP) on over 9000 jetty piles. The main question is what benefits does the MGP truly offer to jetty operators? Can it be deployed on steel piles or just concrete piles? Is it cost efficient? The many questions are answered in this whitepaper researched by our CTO Office Team, headed by Mr. Christopher Do, who is also the Group CEO of IEV.

Platform Deployed CP Retrofit: A Cost-Effective Solution For Extending Cathodic Protection Life of Offshore Platforms

The Challenge

Extension of the cathodic protection (CP) life of an existing offshore platform is a challenging but mandatory task to maintain the adequate CP level and avoid marine corrosion. Conventional CP retrofit methodologies require underwater intervention and vessel, which are very costly, especially for structures that are located in saturation diving depth.  In partnership with Galvotec Corrosion Services (GCS) of the USA, IEV is launching two Platform Deployed CP Retrofit technologies as part of its portfolio of corrosion control solutions to enable its offshore oil and gas clients to lower the cost of extending cathodic protection life on existing facilities.
