Access to a team of experts in failure analysis and root cause identification in corroded environments.
Computation strategies
Decision assistant for best cathodic protection system choice
For new protection system design:
- Select the best hybrid protection system: Galvanic anodes & impressed currents
- Estimate the necessary investment
- Estimate the anodes and structure life-time
- Optimize the installation and maintenance costs
- Specify the maintenance control points
- Optimize the environmental impact of the cathodic protection
For existing systems verification:
- Verify the efficiency of the protection
- Identify under/over-protected areas
- Control the current flux from anodes
- Compute the polarization time
- Estimate of the remaining life-time
Using an industrial software:
- Modeling of structure's surfaces only
- Used elements: 6-node trinagles, 8-node quadrangles, 3-node tubes
- Integration of heteregeneous conductive media
- Non-linear polarization laws
- Dynamic polarization conditions in function of the polarization time
- Integration of local defects and ageing of the coating
- Electrical conditions in semi-infinite and infinite regions
- Ohmic drop in the tubes
