This Ms Word Coverd outlines responsibilities and procedures for installing cathodic protection equipment. It details transporting, handling, preparing, and installing materials in accordance with safety standards. Responsible parties include the site manager, site engineer, HSE manager, and supervising engineer. Procedures address personal protective equipment, lifting operations, fire prevention, and emergency response. The high-level goal is to standardize safe installation procedures for cathodic protection systems.
This Method Statement is applicable to the Cathodic Protection system installations which are to be installed on the SAUDI ARAMCO PROJECT.
To ensure that Cathodic Protection installation system are performed safely, efficiently and in accordance with good working practice, as per Saudi Aramco Job Specifications. This procedure is intended to provide general application guidance and establish controls during preparation and installation.
FAQ:
What is cathodic protection installation?
Cathodic protection is one of the most effective methods for preventing corrosion on a metal surface.
Is cathodic protection AC or DC?
Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP)
These consist of anodes connected to a DC power source, often a transformer-rectifier connected to AC power. In the absence of an AC supply, alternative power sources may be used, such as solar panels, wind power or gas powered thermoelectric generators.
What are the requirements for cathodic protection?
D 105.0 Cathodic Protection Requirements
The buried or submerged pipeline shall be cathodically protected at a negative (cathodic) voltage of 0.85 volt, measured between the structure surface and a saturated copper-copper sulfate half cell contacting the electrolyte.
How do you calculate cathodic protection?
The average current density required for cathodic protection is 2 milliamperes per square foot of bare area. The amount of current required for complete cathodic protection can be determined three ways: An actual test on existing structures using a temporary cathodic protection setup.
