Cathodic Protection (CP) is an effective method of corrosion mitigation for metallic structures that are buried, submersed, or in contact with (i.e. tank bottom) an electrolytic environment. Corrosion is an electrochemical process by which oxidation occurs on the surface of an anode when placed in a common electrolyte with a cathode and physically adjoined via an electrical conductor.
Cathodic protection is achieved by applying direct current in a direction that "forces" the valued metallic structure to become the cathode-half of the process. The anode bed, or "groundbed", consists of either impressed current or sacrificial type anodes, which are chosen in composition and placed in configuration, location, and quantity based on engineering data analysis and design.
