Managing Corrosion and Microbial Corrosion of Steel Pipelines in Saline Environments Using Polyacrylamide

Mustafa Soylak

Corrosion poses a significant challenge to the integrity and longevity of steel pipelines, especially when exposed to saline environments. The combination of high salt content and microbial activity accelerates the corrosion process, leading to potential structural failures and financial losses. Addressing this issue requires innovative approaches that not only prevent corrosion but also combat microbial activity. Polyacrylamide emerges as a promising solution in the battle against corrosion and microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) in steel pipelines situated in saline environments. This versatile polymer demonstrates the ability to inhibit corrosion by forming a protective barrier on the metal surface. Additionally, its biocidal properties hinder the growth of corrosive microbes that thrive in salty conditions.
