Abstract: A method for inhibiting corrosion comprises the steps of providing a fluid; adding a corrosion inhibitor comprising at least one amphiphilic chemical to the fluid; and monitoring micelles presence in the fluid. A method for determining the amount of corrosion inhibitor that is sufficient to inhibit corrosion, a method for monitoring the activity of an amphiphilic chemical and a system for inhibiting corrosion in a conduit are also disclosed.
