THE USE OF SODIUM POLYACRYLATE AS A CORROSION INHIBITOR TO IMPROVE FIRE SAFETY IN PIPELINE TRANSPORT

Corrosion of metals and pipelines is a serious problem causing significant economic losses. In addition to electrochemical corrosion, biological corrosion caused by microorganisms is becoming more common. The use of corrosion-resistant materials, protective coatings, electrochemical protection and corrosion inhibitors have a great influence on reducing the rate of corrosion propagation. The purpose of the study was to create an effective corrosion inhibitor that can replace imported analogues and provide reliable protection of metal surfaces of the pipeline from corrosion. The experimental method was used to obtain the results of the study. The data obtained during the study show the presence of high anti-corrosion activity of the synthesised compound. The conducted research opens wide prospects for further improvement and implementation of the developed inhibitor in various industries, contributing to the efficiency of production processes and ensuring fire safety.
