The Water Research Foundation is accepting proposals for the Assessment of Corrosion Control Treatment Project.

Project Objectives

  • Assess the degree to which data generated from pipe rig studies represent full-scale distribution system conditions. 
  • Identify potential variables contributing and not contributing to significant disparities between pipe rig and system results compared to systems where pipe rig and full-scale results are similar. 
  • Provide guidance on interpreting and applying pipe rig study results to full-scale system implementation, considering their implications for costly and potentially permanent corrosion control treatment (CCT) decisions.
  • Provide context for management, regulator, and public expectations of the results for recommended changes in treatment.

Funding Information

  • Applicants may request up to $150,000 in WRF funds for this project. 

Duration

  • The anticipated period of performance for this project is 18-months from the contract start date.

Expected Deliverables 

  • Final report summarizing the findings of the comparison study, including recommendations for decision-making processes and any potential follow-up studies. 
  • Guidance materials for utilities on the interpretation and application of data from pipe rig studies. 
  • Journal article on the findings and recommendations. 
  • A webinar to share project outcomes with water utility professionals.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Proposals will be accepted from both U.S.-based and non-U.S.-based entities, including educational institutions, research organizations, governmental agencies, and consultants or other for-profit entities. 
  • WRF encourages participation from water utilities and other organizations in WRF research. Participation can occur in a variety of ways, including direct participation, in-kind contributions, or in-kind services
