Underground nitrogen and co2 piping
Underground nitrogen and co2 piping
(OP)
Hi All,
I have a client who is insisting on underground piping to route the nitrogen and co2 piping from the tank farm to process area. I am concerned about corrosion. Any pointers?
Thanks

The piping is copper for the nitrogen pipe and SS for CO2 pipe. If I enclose/ encapsulate the two pipes in a larger corrosion resistant PVC/ plastic pipe or in a closed underground concrete trench that have elctrical conduits running in the same trench. Would I still need to provide cathodic protection to the two pipes. Although I am not sure it is the cheapest way to do so.
Look forward to your inputs.
Thanks again
