A method for protecting a metal surface from corrosion, comprising injecting particles comprising a sacrificial anodic material into a fluid proximate to the metal surface.
The method for protecting a metal surface within a flow system from corrosion, comprising
- providing sacrificial anodic particles;
- injecting the sacrificial anodic particles into a fluid stream within an injection manifold;
- separating the sacrificial anodic particles from the fluid stream;
- recycling reusable sacrificial anodic particles;
- and
- re-injecting the reusable sacrificial anodic particles into the fluid stream.
