At General Oil and Gas Services Limited, cathodic protection is an integral part of our scope of activities. This entails preventing corrosion by converting all the anodic sites on a metal surface to cathodic sites by supplying electrical current from an alternate source.
Cathodic protection systems become pertinent when we try to protect a wide range of metallic structures in varying environmental conditions such as in steel water or fuel pipelines and storage tanks such as home water heaters; offshore oil platforms and onshore oil well casings but to mention a few. We design, construct, install and commission cathodic protection systems which are vital to pipeline integrity maintenance.
As a result of our technology centred methodologies, our cathode protection systems have the following benefits:
- Simple to install
- Suitable for localised protection
- Less liable to cause interaction on neighbouring structures
- Comparatively few anodes are needed
- The voltage may be adjusted to allow for environmental and coating changes
