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. Deepwater Corrosion Services proposal is for a “plug and play” system that is a simple cathodic protection stab and anode sled, which offers monitoring abilities and easier installation than current methods.
