True or False: In a December JPCL feature, when working on two membrane bioreactor basin projects, teams used the same lining approach to treat corrosion and deterioration.

Corrosion-prevention company Cortec Corporation has coated the Peljesac Bridge in Croatia with technology that will allegedly give the bridge a service life of how many years?

One corrosion-prevention company has coated a bridge in Croatia with technology that will allegedly give the bridge a service life of 130 years. Do you believe corrosion-protection technology could extend a bridge’s life by over a century?

Researchers from the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science announced the development of a new coating strategy for semiconductors that provides corrosion protection, improves efficiency and could even lower the cost of solar fuel production by producing solar fuels when semiconductors are illuminated. However, the illumination process is prone to corrosion and could lead to the need for frequent materials replacement. Do you believe a more sustainable form of corrosion protection, such as the one developed by Yale researchers, is adaptable on a larger scale?

Should the surfaces of flanges be coated to prevent corrosion? Why or why not?

How can active corrosion be determined on a live pipeline?
