BASIN 3 LIQUID BULK TERMINAL, Sokhna Port, Egypt 3.5.3 35.4 35.5 3.5.6 Contact No, PO-0119.018-2 Sonker Boon Cathodic protection method Considering the physical and dimensional characteristics of the structure to protect and the electrolyte characteristics, the cathodic protection system shall be “sacrificial anode type" and the anodes shall be Alluminium alloy anodes. Polarization potential and anodes characteristics, ‘According to the Reference Documents 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the following values has been used (potentials are referred to Ag/AgCl reference electrode): ‘+ Protection potential -0.80V ‘+ Anodes potential (at close circuit: “1.05 V + Anodes alloy: Zine = 3.00% + 6.50% 016% = 0.040% Iron = 0.09% max Silicium = 0.10% max Copper = 0,005% max Others = 0,020% max each Aluminium = balance {as per alloy A2 of table b.1 of EN 12496] indium ‘+ Anodes electrochemical efficiency. 2000 Alvkg Anodes utilization factor: 0.80 Protection current density AAs indicated in international bibliography, the protection current density [6] is a function of electrolyte (cooling sea water) velocity and turbulence, Usually, for carbon steel heat ex- changer using sea water as cooling fluid, a protection current density [8] of 500 mA/m2 is used in the cathodic protection calculations. Coating Breakdown The coating breakdown factor (CB) describes the anticipated reduction in cathodic current density due to the application of an electrically insulating coating. CB = 0 means that the coating is 100% electrically insulating, CB = 1 implies that the coating has no protective properties. The coating breakdown factor is a function of coating properties, operational parameters and time, The coating properties are dependent on coating materials, surface preparation and the coating application. As indicated in paragraph 6.4.4 of Reference Document 5, the coating breakdown factor can be described as: ATEC, Italy Page 7 ATC-ME-CAL-0007-C01 © ILF 2016
