Cathodic Protection

Coating systems for underground pipelines

Cathodic Protection needed?

Cathodic Protection (CP) protects metal objects in the ground or water against corrosion. Corrosion is the deterioration of materials by (electro)chemical reactions. Cathodic Protection is a method of combating corrosion and is based on the principle of lowering the potential of the object to be protected. These are objects in the ground or in the water, often made of steel, iron or another metal.

Corrosion

Cathodic Protection prevents oxidation, which stops corrosion. In the oxidation, metal atoms form a chemical bond with oxygen. The metal will therefore rust. This means that electrons move from a place with a low potential to a place with a higher potential. You counter this with KB, so that the potential remains the same over the entire object. Therefore no corrosion.

More possibilities?

Yes, Cathodic Protection is one of the options against corrosion. Pipes or metal objects in the ground or water must be protected a little better. This is then done with coating. Properly wrapping a pipe reduces the required KB with anodes or direct current.

You always need Cathodic Protection, because a pipe or object can also get damage over the years. For more information, please contact us for a customized quote.

Safety

Safety in any form comes first and foremost at Korf KB. A safe and secure workplace is many facetted and something we are very aware of on a daily basis.

Cathodic Protection
system design

To unburden you as our customer we also design completely new CP systems in accordance with the NEN 12954 standard. It is important to determine per project which system is the most effective to make sure it’s a good match to your existing CP structure.

Elisa Remote monitoring sign
Elisa remote monitoring

To be able to monitor cathodic protection remotely we have developed the Elisa system in collaboration with Technolution. This allows live monitoring of the rectifier Elisa Remote monitoring type -1 (Elisa -1) or a measuring pole (Elisa -3) for up to date measurements with an elaborate history and notifications. Contact us for more information or visit elisa-remotemonitoring.com.

Cathodic Protection Anode
Anode production

To guarantee the quality and durability of anodes, we assemble the anodes in-house. Innovation, quality and sustainability are our core values. View our promotional film about this under media and you can order these anodes and all accessories in our webshop.
