All metal in contact with seawater, including coarse screens, fine

screens, cooling water pumps, valves and pipework and any sheet piling
associated with the cooling water system and also buried metal structure and
tank bases shall be equipped with cathodic protection. The cathodic protection
system shall be complete in all respects and fully automatic. For seawater
platinized titanium electrodes and zinc reference and sensing electrodes shall be
used. For buried structures appropriate anode materials shall be used for the
ground beds and reference electrodes as advised by the relevant standards.
Contractor C shall, after commissioning the system, produce a report
demonstrating that all buried pipework, equipment tank bases and metal in
contact with seawater are suitably protected from corrosion.

6.8.3

Design and operating particulars

Contractor C shall supply equipment according to the standards taking


into account specific particulars detailed below:
For design purposes the following minimum current densities shall be
used for surfaces in contact with seawater.
a.

bare steel surfaces 100 m A/m2

b.

coated steel surfaces 50 m A/m

The design minimum current densities shall be used for buried steel
structures shall be:
2

i.

uncoated pipes and bare steel surfaces 50 m A/m

ii.

coated pipes 2.5 m A/m2

iii.

2
external surfaces of tank bottoms 20 m A/m .

The transformer/rectifier units shall have at least 50 per cent spare


capacity over design.

6.8.4

Transformer rectifiers and control equipment

The transformers associated with the rectifier units shall be of the


double wound air insulated type with an earthed metal screen provided between
the primary and secondary windings. The equipment shall incorporate means for
protecting transformers and rectifiers against damage due to overload or shortcircuit of the dc output. The rectifiers shall be three phase full-wave bridge
connected type. The ripple content of the output wave shall not exceed 5 per
cent rms over the entire output range. An approved surge diverter shall be
connected across the dc terminals.
