配水管道的内部腐蚀是公用事业面临的主要问题之一。目前，公用事业公司通常通过反复试验来选择腐蚀控制策略，通常没有考虑它们对与腐蚀相关的各种问题的影响。为了预测腐蚀的影响以及控制策略本身，必须进行初步研究。管道回路虽然比其他替代方案更能代表配水系统中的流量，但价格昂贵，需要大量的水。在生物膜研究中使用的环形反应器可能被证明是研究腐蚀的有用手段，因为它们的外壳可以由不同的材料制成。本研究的主要目的是为公用事业选择腐蚀控制策略提出一种科学和现实的方法，并开发一种使用环形反应器的中试规模实验方法，这将有助于识别和选择腐蚀控制策略。

The internal corrosion of distribution pipes is one of the major problems faced by utilities. At present, utilities generally select corrosion control strategies through a process of trial and error, often without considering their effects on all the various problems associated with corrosion. To predict the impact of corrosion, as well as the control strategies themselves, pilot studies must be undertaken. Pipe loops, while more representative of flows in distribution systems than other alternatives, are expensive and require large quantities of water. Annular reactors used in biofilm studies may prove to be a useful means for studying corrosion since their outer shell can be fabricated from different materials. The primary objectives of this study were to propose a scientific and realistic approach to the choice of corrosion control strategies for utilities and to develop a pilot-scale experimental approach using annular reactors, which will enable the identification and selection of corrosion control strategies.
