One of the common problems in multiphase flow transmission pipelines
is metal corrosion. Corrosion is defined as the deterioration of material, usually a metal, due to its reaction with the environment or handling media. The cause of corrosion can be directly attributed to the impurities found in the produced gas, as well as the corrosive components that are by-produced. Because of the nonspecificity of the components produced from a production well, some or all of these components may be active to create a corrosive environment in the pipelines. Corrosion in multiphase systems is a complex phenomenon, including dependency on the partial pressure, temperature, pH, and concentration of corrosion products. Consequently, corrosion prediction requires substantial understanding of the simultaneous interaction of the many process variables that govern both flow and corrosion conditions. An important aspect of maintaining pipeline performance is adequate control of corrosion both internallycaused by the flow components and their by-productsand externallybecause of pipeline exposure to the soil and water (Hartt and Chu, 2004). Pipeline corrosion can be inhibited by several means. Choice of corrosion-resistant metals, alloys Injection of corrosion inhibitors Cathodic protection External and/or internal protective coatings
