Advanced Cathodic Protection



Introduction:


The course will teach the basics of chemistry and electrochemistry, introduce new insights into the mechanisms of CP based on literature, the effects of time variant interference (AC and DC), the relevance of backfill and mass transport and the consequences of these on the protection criteria in BS EN 12954 and ISO 15589-1.  It will cover the mechanisms of AC corrosion and the threshold values in ISO 18086. It will address the mechanisms of stray current corrosion and relevance of these on the current revision of BS EN 50162. The design of CP buried pipeline systems will be addressed, including modelling of pipelines to mitigate the corrosion risks. Numerical modelling of specific risk scenarios will be undertaken, including high resistivity soils, anaerobic environments and poor bedding/backfill conditions.

 

New concepts based on established electrochemistry will be modelled. Their impact on CP criteria and on the mechanisms that lead to effective cathodic protection will be presented. Possible consequences of these new concepts on the present understanding of microbially influenced corrosion and stress corrosion cracking will be addressed.  These theoretical presentations will be interspersed with practical exercises including CP measurements, coulometric oxidation according to ISO 18086, the modelling of corrosion potentials, the modelling of CP potentials including effects of bedding conditions and pH, calculation of voltage gradients at coating defects as a function of pH and its distribution in soil, modelling of ac corrosion including the effects of geometric effects on corrosion rate. In addition, there will be exercises in the design of CP systems and mitigation of ac corrosion.
