A NEW CONCEPT IN CATHODIC PROTECTION FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES

After discussing problems associated with sacrificial systems and conventional impressed-current systems, and the advantages of remote impressed-current systems, for the cathodic protection of production platforms, the Author (of Solus Schall) describes the development and construction of his company's Solanode system. In this system, some drawbacks of other remote impressed-current systems are overcome by the anodes being buoyantly attached to the sea bed.
