Abstract:
A cathodic protection system for offshore structures includes an elongated electrode carrier, such as a pipe, with a plurality of sacrificial anodes attached, that is placed on the ocean floor and electrically connected to the structures to be protected. The system is particularly useful for retrofitting cathodic protection systems for offshore structures that have exceeded their expected life.
