Cathodic protection systems (design, monitoring, maintaining and special operating)
Course Description
The aim of this workshop is to provide participants with a solid grounding in Applied Cathodic Protection Engineering. This workshop provides theoretical knowledge and fundamentals for testing on both sacrificial and impressed current Cathodic Protection systems for a wide range of industrial structures including buried and subsea pipelines, storage tanks, petrochemical plants and concrete structures. Further, the workshop involves lectures and case studies describing equipment and instruments used in Cathodic Protection testing Objectives. An advanced course to develop the engineers and operators deals in cathodic protection systems about: • Cathodic protection principles. • Design criteria. • Cathodic protection design system. • Monitoring of the cathodic protection system. • Maintaining of the cathodic protection system. • Special cathodic protection system problems and solve.

Engineers and operators who deals with cathodic protection and all corrosion departments for chemical, petrochemical, oil, gas and plant equipments and pipelines.
