    Now we know why Mendip lives here in Thailand.
    Glad to hear you got back safely. Does the body run better after a grease up and oil change?

    I was actually in Bangkok Friday but didn't see you, you must have been hiding from me.
    Why was I there you ask, time to renew the passport but I don't make a thread about it.

    I'm no expert on this qnd should really brush up on mynotes, but my understanding is that the offshore pipeline systems are passive, or galvanic, and have no induced current (platforms often do).

    The sacrificial metal of the less stable anode donates it's electrons to the pipeline steel as it oxidises, thus creating a current and protecting the steel. The seawater acts as the electolyte. In effect a battery is created.
