Cathodic Protection is a technique of preventing the rate of corrosion of a metal surface by imposing a small electrical voltage between the structure and the ground used for the floating vessel, platform, storage tank and pipeline. The Cathodic Protection is based on the electrochemical nature of the corrosion phenomena by which the anodic area corrodes (current is discharged) and the cathodic area does not corrode (current is received).
