  • Publication number: 20220397459
    Abstract: A Modified Rectangular Wave Polarization Control (MRWPC) system generates an automatically adjustable rectangular wave to optimize polarization of electrodes in relative electrolytes by decreasing the concentration polarization effect. The MRWPC system provides corrosion mitigation for metallic structures in corrosive environments, battery rejuvenation/rapid charging, enhancements in the electroplating process, and other procedures that utilize electrochemical reactions.

  • Patent number: 9774105
    Abstract: An embedded Alternating Current (AC) mitigation system reduces or eliminates induced AC currents on pipelines. When a pipeline runs parallel to power lines, the AC current in the power lines induces AC current in the pipeline. Known coatings applied to the pipelines provides electrical insulation and result in a dangerous or destructive buildup of AC voltage in the pipeline. A combination of the pipeline, a dielectric, and a plate, forms a capacitor. The dielectric may be a coating on the pipe, or a dielectric material deposited on the pipeline and under the plate. The capacitor acts as a decoupler by transmitting AC current to the ground while preserving DC current on the pipeline. The embedded AC mitigation system will further act as grounding system and eliminate the need of adding a grounding system.
