In an industry often accused of over-engineering, cathodic protection seems to get the scantest of attention during project planning stages. One company aims to put corrosion prevention at the forefront
Corrosion control firm Deepwater Corrosion Services plans to cut the costs of protecting cathodes by providing a better-designed, more efficient system. Cathodic protection is often seen as a retrospective issue rather than something to be planned for, which leads to shortened equipment lifespan. The new system will also reduce corrosion in the reactor vessel and prevent it from corroding into the surrounding environment.
