Corrosion Control with Kent Offshore

Corrosion is a persistent challenge for industries operating in marine, offshore, and harsh industrial environments. Left unchecked, it can lead to equipment failure, costly downtime, and significant safety risks. That’s why corrosion control is not just a maintenance task—it’s a critical component of asset management. At Kent Offshore, we understand the challenges posed by corrosion and offer comprehensive solutions to protect infrastructure, extend asset life, and maintain operational efficiency.

Understanding Corrosion and Its Impact

Corrosion is the natural degradation of metals due to chemical reactions with their environment, typically involving water, salt, and oxygen. In offshore and coastal regions, where exposure to seawater and humidity is constant, corrosion can rapidly deteriorate even the most robust materials.

From pipelines and storage tanks to platforms and subsea structures, any unprotected metal surface is at risk. Corrosion not only weakens the structural integrity of equipment but also drives up repair and replacement costs. In extreme cases, it can cause catastrophic failures that jeopardise human safety and environmental health.

This is where corrosion control with Kent Offshore becomes essential. We specialise in advanced corrosion protection strategies tailored to the unique needs of offshore and industrial operations.

Our Corrosion Control Services

We offer a wide range of services designed to mitigate corrosion risks and protect your investments. Corrosion control with Kent Offshore includes:

1. Surface Preparation and Protective Coatings

The first step in corrosion prevention is proper surface preparation. We use abrasive blasting, water jetting, and chemical treatments to clean and prepare surfaces. Our advanced protective coatings are chosen for their durability and compatibility with the operating environment. Whether it’s epoxy coatings, zinc primers, or anti-fouling systems, we ensure optimal surface protection.

2. Cathodic Protection Systems

For submerged or buried structures, cathodic protection is a powerful method of corrosion control. Kent Offshore provides both sacrificial anode and impressed current systems to neutralise corrosion-causing reactions. These systems are engineered for reliability and long-term performance.

3. Corrosion Monitoring and Inspection

We believe in proactive maintenance. Our corrosion monitoring services include visual inspections, ultrasonic testing, and corrosion mapping. By identifying early signs of degradation, we help you plan timely interventions and avoid unexpected failures.

4. Material Selection and Engineering Support

Material choice plays a crucial role in corrosion resistance. Our engineering team offers guidance on selecting corrosion-resistant alloys, composite materials, and protective linings. We also support clients with design modifications to minimise corrosion hotspots.
