RAPID POLARISATION CATHODIC PROTECTION IN THE RIJN FIELD

The three platforms of the initial Rijn field development were furnished with a dual sacrificial anode system when installed. The system consisted of an equal number of small magnesium anodes to rapidly polarise the structures and aluminium anodes to maintain the structures at protective levels after the magnesium was consumed. The successful technique is outlined after five years' operation.
