Using various corrosion prevention techniques, Cor-Pro Systems is the leading provider of cathodic corrosion protection in Houston.
Corrosion is a natural process that occurs whether we like it or not. This inevitable occurrence is what’s causing companies to spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
Cathodic corrosion protection is a process that can be applied to any metallic structure that comes in contact with electrolyte.
Cathodic protection is a form of electrochemical corrosion control where the oxidation reaction in galvanic cell is focused at the anode while it suppresses the corrosion of the cathode in the same cell.
It’s primarily used to protect steel structures that are submerged in seawater or are buried in soil.
Cathodic Corrosion Protection are used in the following:
- Pipelines
- Ships’ hulls
- Jetties
- Water storage tanks and water circulating systems
- Steel sheet piling
- Offshore oil platforms and similar installations
The Cathodic Corrosion Protection Process
The cathodic corrosion protection process is accomplished by polarizing the cathodic sites by sending a current into the structure from an external electrode.
The equipment, metal surface or structure must first be polarized to a certain value to achieve suitable cathodic protection.
This can be measured by anti-corrosion experts such as Cor-Pro Systems.
Cor-Pro Systems’s custom corrosion prevention techniques will depend on the causes of the corrosion and can help companies determine this early on so as to delay corrosion and prolong the life of critical equipment.
Types Of Cathodic Protection
Impressed Current
Protection is achieved by connecting the affected structure to an anode bed through a transformer rectifier, which forces the current to flow from the anodes to the structure, thereby providing further protection.
Galvanic Anode
Protection is achieved by connected the protected structure to a certain sacrificial anode (zinc, aluminum, or magnesium) which is positioned very close to the structure.
Companies that operate structures and equipment in water or on soil must include cathodic corrosion protection in their anti-corrosion plan.
