Cathodic Protection System design
Cathodic protection (CP) method is widely used to prevent (or reduce) rust, corrosion and corrosion mitigation of structures. CP systems are generally grouped as sacrificial anode cathodic protection (SACP) system or impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system. Application in atmospheric, buried, or submerged environments can further diversify CP systems and its materials. To guarantee a more effective CP system, an applicable design for the protected structures is required.
Backed by twenty years of experience in corrosion control technology, YUXI contributes to offering cathodic protection system design on new build and existing structures, including pipelines, well casings, above ground storage tanks, water tanks, water processing structures, pump & compressor stations, power plants, marine structures, bridge piles and beams, etc. Our expertise spans all types of SACP and ICCP systems, moreover, a combination of these two systems.
YUXI is specialized in providing a full suite of services for CP system design, from initial survey, through on-site inspection, detailed engineering design, to cathodic protection system modelling & performance simulation, and handover. Our NACE certificated engineers and technicians are ready to propose the best CP solution for preventing corrosion from damaging and tearing down your valuable assets —— lower in cost while longer lives.
In general, our cathodic protection system design and process specification are completed in four major stages as below:
Site Survey
Perform an investigation for field condition analysis
A scope of studies, concerning structure properties, environmental factors and interference issues, will be implemented to provide vital basis for cathodic protection system design planning and accurate considerations.
CP Inspection
Carrying out a feasibility study of CP system new install or upgrade
A series of detection and measurement can be conducted to figure out an accurate image of the assets status, which allows for qualified decisions when considering CP retrofit and life extension.
Conceptual & Detailed Engineering Design
Draw up preliminary and finial layout for CP design assessment
A full set of engineering drawings will be drafted to show the types of CP systems recommended, the material specifications and amounts of anodes specified, and the anode placement.
System Modelling & Performance Simulation
Evaluate CP design with regard to the quality and reliability
Utilizing powerful software, we can simulate CP performance throughout its service life on protected structures with or without coating, and then verify the reliability of our CP design.
