Improvised Cathodic Protection
Improvised Cathodic Protection
(OP)
We have had a failure on our plant. In order to restart we have had to replace an elbow in a 150 NB CL 150 epoxy piping run, with a SS316 elbow with carbon steels flanges. The pipeline holds relatively stagnant seawater in a vacuum line.
I would like to improvise a cathodic protection system for the carbon steel flanges ? Can anyone suggest a way I might be able to do this ? Could it be as simple as wrapping the bolts in wire, snd apply a voltage and current and if so can anyway suggest how best to do this ?

You need an anode for CP. What will be the anode in your system?
