Optimization of Corrosion Inhibitor Application Using Modular Automated Corrosion Control Centers

Optimization of Corrosion Inhibitor Application Using Modular Automated Corrosion Control Centers
Available for download

In the 1990s, military assets transported shipboard to overseas locations by the U.S. Army arrived at their destinations already corroded due to saltwater.  In response to this problem, U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) began manually applying spray-on corrosion inhibitor (CI) to assets prior to transportation and realized a significant reduction in corrosion.  However, due to an increase in the volume of military assets being transported overseas, manual application of CI soon proved too time-consuming and costly.

Modular automated corrosion control centers were developed as a cost-effective approach to handling the increased capacity, allow for the variability in military assets, reduce the size of the CI application facility footprint, and minimize the impact to the environment. A prototype automated CI application facility was designed and fabricated at Fort Hood, Texas. Upon completion of the demonstration and validation using the prototype, a final redesign was completed, and fabrication of a new portable and modular facility was initiated at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

In this paper, a new concept named CP by distributed sacrificial anodes (DSA) is presented. The main principle of CP by DSA is to convert cathode area to anode area by distributing anode mass over the surface of the equipment to be protected.
