Cathodic Protection is the most effective means to control metal deterioration.
Underground Storage Tanks (UST), piping, swing joints and flex connectors that are in contact with soil can be subject to corrosion and thus deteriorate and possibly create a catastrophic leak. By utilizing electricity to reduce corrosive action, Cathodic Protection effectively controls metal deterioration.
Federal regulations require a qualified corrosion expert to design cathodic protection systems installed at a UST site. At Tanknology, we employ NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) certified engineers to design and review cathodic protection systems.
Our staff of NACE certified, state-licensed, corrosion personnel are recognized experts contributing to technical committees, NACE, and American Petroleum Institute seminars as well as providing valuable input to federal and state regulatory agencies.
You can trust Tanknology to provide:
Cathodic Protection System Installation
Installation - Tailored to site requirements and done by Tanknology trained and certified technicians
Commissioning - Includes final testing and adjustments to system
Owner Training - Discussing with owner how the system works and regulatory requirements
Maintenance - Requires periodic testing and adjustments
Corrosion Control Survey & Reports
Feasibility surveys to determine suitability of system installation. Design Survey to design and engineer the most cost effective system
Assessment Survey to evaluate USTs for corrosion damage on tanks as per regulatory requirements.
Cathodic Protection System Testing & Monitoring
If you have an impressed current system you must inspect the system every 60 days to verify that the system is operating properly. Records need to be maintained of all system tests and system inspections. Tanknology can customize a remote monitoring program for your impressed current cathodic protection system by using Automatic Rectifier Compliance (ARC), our wireless communication device that utilizes Motorola® paging technology to transmit system data.
