Cathodic Protection Linear Anodes for Plant Piping

Three Methods for Corrosion Prevention of Buried Plant Piping in New Construction

Three cathodic protection approaches protect underground piping in congested plant environments: deep anode systems, shallow distributed anode beds, and linear anodes. For most plant applications, closely coupled linear anode systems provide the most technically effective and commercially viable solution.

An Age-Old Problem: Addressing Aging Pipeline Coating Threats

As pipeline coatings deteriorate, traditional CP systems struggle with current distribution and rising operating costs. MATCOR’s Ted Huck examines rehabilitation alternatives, including linear anode systems that saved over $1.5 million versus recoating on a 5-kilometer pipeline segment.

Linear Anodes for Pipeline Rehabilitation: Decades of Innovation

MATCOR’s Ted Huck presented at the Middle East Corrosion Conference on advances in linear anode technology for pipeline rehabilitation. Topics include design considerations, installation methodologies, and case studies demonstrating effective cathodic protection for aging pipelines.

Cathodic Protection Connections: Exothermic Welding vs Pin Brazing

Exothermic welding and pin brazing are the two primary cable-to-structure connection methods in cathodic protection systems. This article compares both technologies across safety, reliability, metallurgical effects, and material suitability, noting that MATCOR defaults to pin brazing for most CP applications.

At What Distance Does Cathodic Protection Continue to be Effective?

The effective range of cathodic protection along a pipeline depends on the attenuation constant, driven by soil resistivity and coating quality. Well-coated pipelines in high-resistivity soils can be protected 20 or more miles from a single anode bed; poorly coated pipelines may need anode stations every quarter mile.

Three Ton Sled Anode Assemblies Head to Beaumont, Texas

MATCOR fabricated four custom sled anode assemblies weighing over three tons each for a Gulf Coast refinery expansion project in Beaumont, Texas. Each 75-amp assembly consists of mixed metal oxide-coated titanium tubular anodes mounted on concrete bases designed to protect marine piling structures.

MATCOR Successfully Completes Tank CP Project In Mexico

MATCOR completed a cathodic protection project for nine aboveground storage tanks at a port facility in Altamira, Mexico. Scope included design, engineering, materials supply, installation supervision, and commissioning using SPL Linear Anodes and custom explosion-proof rectifiers for Class 1 Div 2 areas.
