Cathodic protection
Electrolytic corrosion of metals
Drinking water, natural gas and domestic wastewater flow through metal structures and are stored in underground tanks, all of which are subject to corrosion.
Any facility with metal components is subject to this phenomenon, which occurs when materials, such as iron and carbon steel, come into contact with an electrolyte, such as soil.
Corrosion is not a phenomenon that can be completely eradicated, but specific measures can be taken as early as the design and construction stage to significantly reduce its effects and ensure the proper functioning, durability, and safety of the systems.

Expertise areas
Hydrogen
Hydrogen combustion does not release carbon dioxide, but rather steam, and it is easier to transport and store than electricity. This makes hydrogen the ideal ally for renewable energy production.
Today, hydrogen can only be injected into the pipeline network and blended with natural gas up to certain percentages: we are commited to creating systems and devices that can overcome this limit.
Biomethane
Unlike other renewables, biomethane requires limited investment in terms of infrastructure. Moreover, regarding emissions, it is considered to be neutral as it is produced via the digestion of biomass from by-products, industrial processing waste and organic material.
Specific incentives promoted at the European level are making its use economically sustainable, and as a result production and use of this source are being strongly encouraged.
