What is corrosion
Basic concept of cathodic protection
Cathodic protection application
Field measurement cathodic protection
Corrosion is the deterioration of a material,
usually a metal, because of a reaction
with its environment.
Basic concept
Materials Selection Galvanic Series

Magnesium Most Active
Zinc
Aluminum
Mild Steel
Cast Iron
Copper
Stainless Steel
Silver
Gold
Platinum Least Active

Basic Concept of
Cathodic protection
Cathodic protection by sacrificial anode
Cathodic protection by Impress Current
Cathodic Protection Application on Offshore Structures
Sacrificial anode installed
No Sacrificial anode installed
Basis of Design Standard

Applicable industry standards
DNV-RP-B401-2005 : Cathodic Protection Design
NACE RP0176 : Corrosion Control of Steel Fixed Offshore Structures

Applicable BP Specifications
GP 06-31 : Guidance on Practice for Cathodic Protection
GP 06-311 : Guidance on Practice for Procurement of Cathodic Protection

Cathodic Protection Application on Offshore Structures
Advantage & Disadvantage of
Sacrficial Anode ICCP (Impress Current Cathodic Protection)
Sacrificial Anode
The advantages are :
The disadvantage are :
ICCP
The advantages are :
The disadvantage are :
Field measurement cathodic protection

To measurement level of protection the
structures we have to using reference
cells.
- Cu/CUSO4 (Copper/Copper sulfate) for Soil environment
- Ag/AgCl (Silver/Silver Chloride) for sea water environment

Level of Protection
Measurement level protection on the
offshore structure method:
- Drop Cell Survey
- CP Snake Survey
- ROV ( Robotic Operation Vehicle)
