CATHODIC PROTECTION
CP DESIGN
Because it inhibits corrosion, CP allows the use of thinner metal thicknesses and can therefore be extremely cost-effective over the operating life of an underground asset. When designing a new CP system, a survey is usually made and an economic justification of the project produced. This takes account of:
- • Project specifications
- • National and international guidelines
- • Negotiation with landowners, public bodies or other interested parties
CP parameters such as:
- • Type (galvanic or impressed current)
- • Current demand and electrical supply requirements
- • Number and location of anodes or transformer rectifiers
- • Monitoring requirements
Abriox works with CP design consultants and companies to assist with their CP monitoring requirements.
