AC Mitigation: 4 Approaches to Protect Your Assets

Pipelines paralleling high-voltage AC transmission lines require engineered grounding to prevent AC-induced corrosion and safety hazards. The four primary AC mitigation strategies—fault shielding, gradient control mats, lumped grounding, and gradient control wires—are detailed with design and monitoring guidance.

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.

Is My Tank CP System Working Correctly?

MATCOR’s Ted Huck explains how to assess the performance of cathodic protection systems for aboveground storage tank bottoms in an article published in the summer edition of Tanks and Terminals Magazine, outlining key evaluation methods for determining whether a tank CP system is functioning correctly.

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.

Coke Column Guidelines for Deep Anode Systems

Intermittent or failed current output from a deep anode system can result from gas accumulation in an undersized coke column. This article examines the importance of proper coke column sizing and the recommended 150 mA/ft² maximum current density at the coke-to-earth interface for reliable performance.

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.
