Case Study: a refinery client improves pipeline integrity and corrosion protection with Audubon

Refinery Client extends pipeline integrity protection for 2 years with Audubon

The customer, a major refinery client based in the Midwest United States, faced a significant challenge when its existing cathodic protection system exceeded its design life and was no longer effectively preventing external corrosion on buried piping and tank base plates. To address this, the refinery engaged vendor Audubon to develop and implement a comprehensive pipeline integrity management program.

Audubon's solution included field data collection using a mobile platform, data integration and analysis, and the design, installation, and commissioning of a new cathodic protection system. The project scope also encompassed two years of maintenance and technical support, with Audubon maintaining data ownership and online systems. This program successfully mitigated corrosion threats and reduced risk for the refinery's critical infrastructure.
