Cathodic Protection Design, Installation and Service
Cathodic Protection is the most effective means to control metal deterioration.

Steel underground storage tanks (UST), piping, swing joints and flex connectors that are in contact with soil can be subject to corrosion and thus deteriorate and possibly create a catastrophic leak. By utilizing direct current electricity to reduce corrosive action, cathodic protection effectively controls metal deterioration by making the tank/pipe the cathode of a typical electrochemical cell. 

Federal regulations require a qualified corrosion expert design cathodic protection systems installed at a UST site. At Tanknology, we employ NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) certified engineers to design and review cathodic protection systems. Our staff of NACE certified, state-licensed, corrosion personnel are recognized experts contributing to technical committees, NACE, and American Petroleum Institute seminars as well as providing valuable input to federal and state regulatory agencies. 

Federal regulations further require that, if you have an impressed current system, you must inspect the system every 60 days to verify its proper operation. Records must be maintained of all system tests and inspections.

You can rely on Tanknology to:
Perform feasibility surveys to determine suitability of
    system installation

Design and engineer the most cost effective system

Perform a thorough Assessment Survey, per regulatory
    requirements, to evaluate USTs for corrosion damage on tanks

Upon design of the ideal system for your site, we will:
Install a complete cathodic protection system, tailored specifically
    to your site’s requirements

Commission the system, including final testing and adjustments,
    as needed

Train the owner and operators on system operation and ongoing
    regulatory requirements

Perform regular maintenance, including  periodic testing and
    necessary adjustments

Generate requisite Corrosion Control Reports

Upon installation of your complete impressed current Cathodic protection system, we can also customize a remote monitoring program by using Automatic Rectifier Compliance (ARC), our wireless communication device that utilizes state-of-the-art data transmission technology to communicate system data.
