Applied standards for offshore cathodic protection design:
1- ISO 15589-2: Petroleum and natural gas industries - Cathodic
protection of pipeline transportation systems- Part 2: Offshore
pipelines
2- DNV-RP-B401: Cathodic Protection Design.
3- DNV RP F103: Cathodic protection of Submarine pipelines by
Galvanic anodes.
4- Norsok Standard M-503: Cathodic Protection
5- NACE-RP-0176: Corrosion Cotrol of Steel Fixed Offshore
Structurea Associated with Petroleum Production.
6- NACE-RP-0492: Metallurgical and Inspection Requirements for
Offshore Pipeline Bracelet Anodes
7- NACE RP 0387: Metallurgical and Inspection Requirements for
Cast Sacrificial Anodes for Offshore Applications

General
Sacrificial anode (galvanic anode)
Advantage:
No external power required
Relatively easy installation
Little chance of cathodic
interference
Little maintenance
Less inspection and
recordkeeping than with impressed
current systems
Disadvantage: Not suited for
media with low conductivity, e.g. in
soil

The most commonly used sacrifical anode materials for offshore are:
Al
Zn
Aluminium:
high eletrochemical capacity
reduce total mass of anode (saves weight)
long operating time (low consumption rate)
high driving voltage
Al-Zn-In anodes most commonly used for offshore
General
Zinc:
low driving voltage
low capacity (results in high weight of anodes)
temperature limits < 40 Co
Often used on constructions buried in mangrove mud

ELECTROCHEMICAL INFORMATION OF ANODE IN CP DESIGN:
-Electrochemical capacity
-Closed circuit potential
-Anode utilization factor
Suitable composition of anode material helps it meet these requirements
13
Potential Criteria:
Media with high salinity (offshore)
maximum -800 mV, ref Ag/AgCl
minimum -1100 mV, ref Ag/AgCl
Media with immediate salinity (nearshore)
maximum -850 mV, ref Cu/CuSO4
minimum -1100 mV, ref Cu/CuSO4
