DEFINITION OF CATHODIC PROTECTION LEVEL

The cathodic protection system is considerated to be operating correctly when the potential
measured between the stell structure and a suitable approved reference electrode is within the
following limit.

CALCULATION

The formula to determine the amount of anode weight to protect each pile is shown below:
Anode Nett (kg) = I x 8760 x Anode Life (25 years)
2600 x 0.9
Whereby:
I = Current required to protect structure
8760 = No. of hours per year
2600 = Electrical capacity of anode per kg (Amp-hr / kg)
Utilization factor = 0.9

Vessel surface area is calculated as follows.


Surface Area = 15.6 X LBP X MB X D X BC
35
= 15.6 X 63 X 20.0 X 3.0 X 0.85
35
= 982,02 X 47,6
35
= 982,02 x 1.17

= 1145,45

Current required = Surface Area X Current Density


= 1145,45 x 20.0
= 22,91 Amphere

Weight Required = Current X 8760 X Design Life


Electrical Capacity X U. F
= 1003414,92
2125
= 472,20 kg

*Net Weight Proposed = 11.7 kg

**Total Anodes required: = 42 nos

ANODE DIMENSIONS & CURRENT OUTPUT


Anode Dimensions will affect its resistance to the surrounding electrolyte (e.g. Seawater), hence its
output current.

Calculation below is to show that our Anodes are able to meet the client’s specifications when that anode
is at final stage (90% consumed).

For Example, Anode model “CO-MAC 119”

Dimensions: L: 550mm x W: 130mm x H: 75mm x T: 14mm

For Long slender stand-off (L≥4r):

Where:
ρ = seawater resistivity (…………ohm-cm)
L = length of anode (…………cm)
r = effective radius (…………cm)

Anode Output Current (F) =


= …………

THE ADVANTAGES OF EACH


Aluminium is suitable for salt and fresh water
• In freshwater zinc coats over with zinc hydroxide which stops the anode from working after
approximately two months
• Zinc hydroxide can occur in saltwater too – particularly when polluted
• Aluminium anodes stay active and also remain active if exposed to air
• If zinc anodes are removed from water they coat over
• Aluminium anodes will reactivate when re-immersed

Zinc is suitable for salt water only


• Provides excellent anti corrosive properties (hence used to galvanise steel)
• Because of its density and structural composition, it provides significantly better impact
strength
• More even decay
