Abstract Due to the huge increase of transfer and storage of petroleum projects in Egypt in the last few years, it became very important to secure this transfer and the storage of the products. This can be accomplished by protecting both pipelines and storage tanks from corrosion to avoide the loss of transmitted objects through the pipelines. Corrosion of pipelines may cause very dangerous situations such as spills, production interruption and destructions of surrounding environment ending with great explosions. The situation with storage tanks is the same, where corrosion protection has to be utilized by the use of impressed current cathodic protection system. This system of protection consists of threeىmain parts; the anodes, the d.c power source and the anode bed. In this study, the concern is directed to the d.c power supply and the anode bed design. |
