Cathodic Protection - Onshore

All, Ted Midura @Theodore Midura has noted the following and is interested to hear from any of you with interest in topic of CP within steam condensers and lack of standard guidance on the application. If you would be interested to participate in a new AMPP project to develop such a standard, please contact Ted.

Condensers are commonly used as part of the water-cooling cycle in power generation plants. As the demand for electric power increases globally, the consequence of failure of these crucial components in power generation becomes more costly.  Condenser structures consist of dissimilar metals exposed to warm water, often directly from a river or ocean, and generally operate in continuously turbulent conditions. This creates aggressively corrosive environments. While several NACE standards address internal corrosion of oil containing vessels or water storage tanks, there exists no standard that addresses the unique challenges of cathodically protecting the surfaces of these structures. Either too little, or too much CP can cause detrimental effects to these structures, and operators have been faced with maintenance issues that require specialized knowledge of CP in order to ensure safe, reliable generation.

I would also be interested in this if I could be of assistance. Have been working for some time with corrosion protection for condensers.

Hi Ted, 

I would like to contribute for the said issue. 

Thanks
