Corrosion Protection of Above Ground Storage Tanks (AST) is typically provided by an impressed current linear anode cathodic protection system (ICCP). Two primary impressed current cathodic protection configurations are used worldwide in tanks. 1) Grid Tank CP Configuration The field-erected mixed metal oxide (MMO) anode welded grid configuration was an early application of MMO anodes for tank…
