This document discusses cathodic protection as a corrosion control process. It describes corrosion as the deterioration of metals due to reaction with the environment, and identifies corrosion as a major economic, environmental, and safety problem. It then explains that cathodic protection is an electrical method that reduces corrosion on metal structures by making the entire structure a cathode. There are two main types: sacrificial anode systems and impressed current systems. The document recommends monitoring cathodic protection systems through inspection, maintenance and surveys to ensure structures are polarized between -850mV and -1100mV versus a copper sulfate electrode for effective protection.

CATHODIC PROTECTION
A Corrosion Control Process
By GOHER MAQSOOD Operations Engineer IMPACT OF CORROSIONS
Corrosion is the deterioration of a material,
usually a metal, because of a reaction with its environment. Corrosion is a major Economic, Environmental, and Safety Problem which adversely affects our Nation, as well as many of our facilities. THE VALUE OF CORROSION CONTROL
• Reduced Maintenance and
Repair Costs • Better Safety • Better Appearance HOW TO CONTROL CORROSION Corrosion Control Methods • Protective Coatings • Design • Environmental Control • Material Selection • Cathodic Protection COATING • Normally first line of defense against corrosion: provides barrier between a corrosive environment and the structure. • No coating is perfect and consists of holidays (voids) often resulting from improper application and/or damage. • Cathodic Protection often used in conjunction with coatings to protect the holidays or voids in the coating system. Galvanic Current TYPICAL CORROSION CELL CATHODIC PROTECTION • An electrical method of controlling corrosion on metallic structures that are exposed to electrolytes such as soils and waters
• A technique to reduce the corrosion of a
metal surface by applying an external electromotive force so that the entire surface becomes the cathode of an electrochemical cell. SACRIFICAL CATHODIC PROTECTION POLARIZATION OF STEEL OVER TIME IMPRESSED CURRENT CP HOW MUCH CATHODIC PROTECTION
• The Polarized Potential Should
Be Between -850mV And -1100mV Measured Between The Structure And A Copper Sulfate Electrode (CSE). LIST OF THINGS TO DO Inspection House keeping CP Condition monitoring Survey Maintenance ADVANTAGES
• Extended Coating and Structure
Life yielding Cost Savings • Protection of Environment • Improved Public and Employee Safety ACIDENTS CAUSED BY CORROSION Thank you for your Attention !
