cathodic protection system

The cathodic protection (CP) systems are the most  important means for corrosion  of metal structures such  as ships,  oil rigs,  and pipelines.  SME specializes in the  sale  of both new and used cathodic  protection  systems. They operate by applying  various means of corrosion inhibition  to protect  assets and extend  life.  Below, we’ll  discuss the benefits of Variable Frequency Drive(VFD)  Retrofit  Project cathodic protection systems and how they function.

Benefits  Cathodic protection technology offers  a number of  significant advantages for industrial  use. A  key advantage over other  products is that they keep  rust at bay  on  metal  surfaces, a  big cost-saver for  companies  that have to  replace their gear  due to  corrosion. Through the use  of cathodic protection, companies can  prevent  downtime  and  protect their equipment.  Moreover, these systems are also  environmentally friendly by reducing  the  use  of toxic chemicals and coatings  for corrosion resistance. In  general,  the cathodic protection  systems  are an economic and efficient measure for protecting from corrosion of  some industries.

Advantages of cathodic protection system

How Cathodic Protection Systems Work Cathodic protection systems function on  electrochemical principles designed to prevent  corrosion of metal structures. Two  types of  cathodic protections are commonly used: impressed current systems and  sacrificial anode  systems.  Impressed current  systems  involve a source of power outside  of  the pipe which provides an opposing electrical current that prevents corrosion from taking place. Sacrificial anode layer systems are constructed in such a way that a  more active metal is connected with the structure to be  protected as an  electrical conductor, and  this corrodes instead of the  structure. Both of these  techniques work  by preventing  metal structures like  pipelines from corroding in the presence  of an electrolyte, often water. Using  these systems, companies  can protect  their facilities and equipment from the  harmful effects of  corrosion, saving both  time  and money  in the end.

 

Cathodic  protection is a technology that can be employed  to  protect  metal from corrosion  for  structures  like pipelines,  storage tanks, and bridges. Patrick  Enteru with EvapTech, based in Kansas City, explains it operates by running a low-voltage electrical current through the metal to  halt the corrosion. Opting for  standby Motor cathodic protection may ultimately help  to  save you money,  thanks to the long-term savings from extending the  life of your  structures and minimizing maintenance  costs. An effective, economical way  to protect your investments from the damaging  effects of corrosion.
