Corrosion is the hidden enemy of oil and gas infrastructure, attacking pipelines, offshore platforms, storage tanks, and other steel structures relentlessly. Major operators manage vast networks of assets where a single corrosion-related failure could mean safety incidents, environmental damage, and costly downtime. Cathodic protection (CP) has emerged as a linchpin…

Pipelines are critical components of our global infrastructure, transporting vital resources such as oil and gas across vast distances. To ensure these pipelines remain safe and functional over time, engineers rely on cathodic protection (CP) systems to prevent corrosion. However, one factor that can complicate pipeline protection is the presence…

Internal Internal cathodic protection systems are an essential component of tank storage systems in the oil and gas industry. These systems provide protection against corrosion, which is a major threat to tank integrity and can lead to leaks, environmental contamination and costly repairs. Internal cathodic protection systems work by applying…

Summary A pipeline cathodic protection system is designed to prevent corrosion and ensure the integrity of underground or submerged pipelines. Corrosion is a significant threat to pipeline infrastructure, as it can lead to leaks, structural damage and costly repairs. The cathodic protection system works by applying a direct current to…

Summary An in-plant pipeline cathodic protection system is designed to protect pipelines within an industrial facility or plant from corrosion. Corrosion poses a significant risk to the integrity and lifespan of pipelines, which can result in leaks, environmental contamination and costly repairs. The in-plant cathodic protection system works by applying…

Summary Jetty and port piles cathodic protection system is a specialised corrosion prevention method designed to protect piles in jetties and ports from the corrosive effects of seawater. It involves the installation of anodes, typically sacrificial zinc or aluminium anodes, on the piles. These anodes sacrificially corrode over time, diverting…

Summary A cathodic protection system is a corrosion prevention method used for reinforcement bars in concrete structures. It aims to protect the steel bars from corrosion, which can weaken the structure over time. There are two main types of cathodic protection systems: impressed current and galvanic (sacrificial anode) systems. In…

Summary Cathodic protection systems for long span bridge tower shafts in seawater are crucial for preventing corrosion and ensuring the structural integrity of these vital infrastructure elements. Due to the large scale of singular steel surfaces and the deep depths involved, both galvanic and impressed current cathodic protection systems are…
