Barrier and inhibitor coatings are the primary defense against steel loss in water storage tanks. However, as a coating begins to deteriorate, action is necessary to prevent steel loss in the exposed areas of the substrate. Cathodic protection systems are an economical way to address preventing metal loss on the submerged surface areas of a water storage tank and have been proven to extend the useful life of coatings for immersion service.

Cathodic protection systems are an economical way to address preventing metal loss on the submerged surface areas of a water storage tank and have been proven to extend the useful life of coatings for immersion service. To understand how to design and implement a cathodic protection system for a water storage tank, an understanding of the basics of corrosion is a good place to start. While both coatings and cathodic protection address corrosion prevention, they do so in a different manner. From the basics of the corrosion cell and process it is easier to decipher the benefits and limitations of any cathodic protection system.
Case study for anode grid systems. used for Cathodic Protection of above ground storage tank bottom plates. Technical solutions for arranging the anode grid on large (90 m diameter) tanks are studied and compared in respect to the CP major objective.

Cathodic protection of hot tank bottom tanks requires specific design parameters. This paper presents the design, installation details and commissioning results for two hot sulphur tank cathodic protection using impressed current titanium / Mixed Metal Oxide ribbon anode grid system.
An effective and efficient impressed cathodic protection system by laying a continuous shallow anodes bed in close proximity to the tank foundation. Some of the merits of this installation include elimination of shielding effects or interference from other structures and uniform protection of the entire tank bottom.
