摘要

In today's world water utilities should not accept the myth that water wells, treatment equipment,rnstorage tanks, and piping systems have a limited life caused by corrosion. Technology exists torndesign or construct these structures so they can remain in service almost indefinitely withoutrnexperiencing corrosion in the areas in contact with soil or water. Cathodic protection is therntechnology that allows this phenomenon to occur.rnThis paper explores corrosion and its prevention through the use of cathodic protection. Itrndefines the principles of cathodic protection and explains in a simplified way how cathodicrnprotection can mitigate corrosion. It should eliminate the misunderstandings about therncomplexity and perceived expense of the installation of cathodic protection systems. Cathodicrnprotection is a proven technique for mitigating corrosion. There is nothing mysterious or crypticrnrelated to diminishing corrosion on metallic structures by utilizing this technology.rnThe prevention of corrosion with cathodic protection is not new; the technology has existed forrnover 150 years. In 1824, Sir Humphrey Davy used cathodic protection to prevent corrosion ofrnBritish naval ships. He did this by attaching zinc blocks to protect the copper sheathing on thernhulls of the naval vessels. From that time to today, metals have been protected against corrosionrnby the use of cathodic protection.rnDuring the 1970s the United States Congress passed a law requiring cathodic protection tornprevent failures on pipelines carrying hazardous materials and natural gas. In the 1980srnCongress passed another law requiring cathodic protection on underground fuel storage tanks.rnIf cathodic protection systems are properly installed and maintained, virtually all corrosion canrnbe eliminated in the metallic areas of the structure in contact with the soil or water. No utility orrncompany operating pipelines, water wells, and ground or elevated water tanks should accept thernfact that these structures "wear out", corrode, and fail. With today's technology, these types ofrnfailures can and should be prevented. Economic analyses of cathodic protection programs atrnEast Bay Municipal Utility District and Marin Municipal Water District (both in California)rnindicate benefit/cost ratios in the 7:1 to 8.5:1 range. These clearly indicate the benefit to waterrnutilities of using cathodic protection to mitigate external corrosion.rnThe basic principles and types of corrosion that affect water production, transmission, andrndistribution systems will be discussed briefly so the methods employed to cathodically protectrnthese structures from corrosion can be thoroughly understood.
