Abstract
Seawater pipelines are essential for numerous industries, including oil and gas, desalination, and
marine transportation, but they face significant challenges due to the harsh marine environment.
This environment is characterized by high salinity, biological activity, and various mechanical
stresses, all of which contribute to severe corrosion. Effective corrosion prevention is crucial to
ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of these pipelines. This review paper provides a
detailed examination of the current strategies and technologies employed to combat corrosion in
seawater pipelines. Key topics covered include the selection of corrosion-resistant materials, the
application of protective coatings, and the implementation of cathodic protection systems.
Additionally, the use of corrosion inhibitors and advanced monitoring techniques are explored.
The paper also highlights recent advancements and research findings, offering a contemporary
perspective on the most effective methods for preventing corrosion. Through this comprehensive
review, the paper aims to present an integrated approach to corrosion prevention, combining
traditional practices with cutting-edge innovations to enhance the durability and performance of
seawater pipelines in various industrial applications.
