GFO-21-506 – Integrative Corrosion Control in the Natural Gas System

Overview

The purpose of this solicitation is to develop an integrative approach for corrosion control of natural gas pipelines based on the use of mitigation, monitoring, inspection, evaluation, and prediction. Research will address integration barriers with instrumentation, software, and training related to natural gas system integrity management, as it pertains to microbially influenced and soil property influenced corrosion. The purpose of this solicitation is to fund natural gas infrastructure safety and integrity projects that meet the following initiative: Technologies to Inspect and Prevent Corrosion of Natural Gas Pipelines and Storage Facilities.  This solicitation will address needed improvements in the instruments for detecting corrosion, modeling software for predicting corrosion, and...
