Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...

Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection (PECCP) is an advanced strategy employing semiconductor materials to generate electrons under illumination, thereby offering a sustainable method to mitigate ...

During the 2005 National Electrical Code (NEC) review cycle, a relatively simple revision was made that created a significant change on the cathodic protection (CP) systems of petroleum and chemical ...

This corroding galvanized steel pole exhibits red corrosion products due to corrosivity of soil, chloride ions and galvanic action. When Dawson Public Power District in Lexington, Nebraska, U.S., ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The use of cathodic protection for metals can be accomplished by sacrificial protection and impressed current protection. This paper discusses ...

Metal panels provide a strong, multifunctional skin for buildings: they shield the interior against the elements, support wind and snow loads, and in many cases provide thermal control and noise ...

Hyperbolic cooling towers remove heat from power plant condensers using natural draft. Air rises through the center of the tower, and hot water is discharged as a spray in the interior. The ...

An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...
