A review of galvanic anode cathodic protection design procedure
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrochemistry is a physical science. As a general definition physical sciences apply mathematical equations, making some assumptions in order to predict/explain phenomena/mechanism occurring in the natural environment. The mechanism of cathodic protection in seawater has been covered exhaustively elsewhere and the intent of this paper is to focus on the procedure of the galvanic (sacrificial) anode cathodic protection design applied in the industry field and guided by specifications, standards and recommended practices. The object of the paper is more to raise questions rather than provide answers.

Corrosion and Cathodic Protection in Underground Piping Systems
THE GALVANIC CELL The major corrosion concern in the water works industry is “galvanic” corrosion. Galvanic corrosion takes place due to current flow in a “galvanic cell” which is defined as (1) two dissimilar metals, an anode and a cathode, (2) in electrical contact with each other and (3) a common electrolyte. A galvanic cell is produced when the pipeline components come in contact with the s...

Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) is the main component for Maritime Security and Defence. Because of that, TNI AL needs Indonesian Warship (KRI) to covered Maritime area. The main requirement from KRI is fulfilled by demand. To pock of fuel demand from KRI at Naval Base, it needs a new pipeline of fuel distribution network system. The pipeline network system used for maximum lifetime must be protected ...
متن کاملNumerical Calculation of Cathodic Protection Potential Distribution for Ocean Construction
Using FEM during the design of cathodic protection system can optimize the cathodic protection system and forecast the distribution of potential in real marine environment. A single bar was modeled for which protection was provided by an anode located in different places. Through analysis of each unit and synthesis in the whole area, mathematical model of 3-D finite element was constructed. Pot...
متن کاملOptimization of the cathodic protection system of military ships with respect to the double constraint: cathodic protection and electromagnetic silencing
In ships, materials of different electrochemical potentials the steel of the hull and the bronze of the propellers coexist. Once bathed in the sea water and electrically connected by the internal structures, phenomena of corrosion induced by galvanic coupling appear. These phenomena create currents in the water around the ship and induce, in the conducting sea water, a static electric field cal...
