[Case Study] Midstream Terminal Protects ASTs with CP System
See how MATCOR’s full-service team delivered a complete cathodic protection solution for a midstream terminal operator. From custom engineering and manufacturing to installation, site management, and ongoing survey support, MATCOR ensured each AST project met the client’s unique needs across multiple locations.

Design & Installation of New AST Construction
From foundation layout to anode system placement, this technical bulletin walks through best practices for protecting tank bottoms from corrosion during new construction.

Can VCIs Enhance Tank Bottom Protection?
In the Autumn 2024 edition of Tanks & Terminals magazine, Ted Huck explores how Vapour Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) can supplement cathodic protection to reduce corrosion risk—especially in challenging or aging tanks.

Tank CP Trends & Challenges
