Abstract: In a technique for real-time monitoring of corrosion of pipelines in the presence of alternating current (AC) interference, it is essential that the AC and DC  (direct current) voltages be separated from the recorded mixed signals. In this invention, a data acquisition and analysis technique is developed to enable separation of the DC voltage for the further assessment of corrosion of pipeline under the AC  effect, and thus provide information regarding AC corrosion of pipelines both qualitatively and quantitatively. Moreover, the technique enables determination of the shift of cathodic protection (CP) potential in the presence of AC  interference, and provides "true" CP potential to avoid misleading information to pipeline operators.
