Applications

Water intake & cooling systems

Cathodic protection for water intake structures and cooling systems

  • Automatic Transformer/Rectifiers
  • Flange-mounted MMO Titanium anodes
  • Zinc and Ag/AgCl reference electrodes
  • Junction boxes & test stations

Water from surface sources is often used by various industries for many uses and purposes, such as cooling of large power-generating systems, desalination, irrigation and oil&gas and petrochemical processing. Water intake structrures are needed to collect water and make it useful by filtering from scaling and fouling materials.
There are many structures that need to be protected against corrosion with different kind of solutions, such as intake structures, descaling and filtering systems, pumps, pipelines, heat exchanger and downstream installation.
Tecnocorr s.r.l. can offer a wide range of solutions for all of these structure, ensuring the longest lifetime and the best protection against corrosion.

Jetties & harbour facilities

Cathodic protection for ports, harbours and marine structures

  • Automatic Transformer/Rectifiers
  • Shielded MMO Titanium anodes
  • Zinc and Ag/AgCl reference electrodes
  • Junction boxes & test stations
  • Canistered anodes

Ports and harbours show a large variety of structures subjected to the corrosive action of seawater, like ber ths, mooring dolphins, jetties, quays and many others. Tecnocorr s.r.l., with its long and well-established experience, offers a wide range of solution for protecting all of these structures ranging from cathodic protection of the sheet piles used for the containment of quays, to the steel foundation piles of piers.

Storage tanks

Cathodic protection systems for underground and aboveground storage tanks

  • Air & oil cooled Transformer/Rectifiers
  • Grid and loop arrangement MMO Titanium anodes
  • Magnesium and zinc ribbon anode
  • Aluminium and Magnesium anodes for internal
  • ICCP for internal surface
  • Reference electrodes with soil access
  • Junction boxes & test stations
  • Flange insulation kits

Corrosion of metallic storage tanks, both buried underground (USTs) or placed aboveground (ASTs) is a primary concern for oil&gas industry, as well as for other industries and facilities which need to store large quantities of motor fuel, petroleum, solvents, heating oil, lubricants, liquid gas or even water. Both USTs and ASTs are subjected to strict national and local regulations in order to avoid or mini- mize the risk of product leackage, which may cause severe environmental damage.
To ensure an effective protection against corrosion, Tecnocorr s.r.l. offers a wide range of highly-custom- ized solutions depending on specific tank’s configuration, size, stored product and surrounding environment. Ranging from the production and supply of sacrificial anodes for the protection of internal surface, to the com- plete design of ICCP system for the protection of large AST’s bottom surface, Tecnocorr s.r.l. can offer the most advanced and cost-effective solutions to ensure the safety and the longest service life for your tanks.

Oil fields & refineries

Corrosion protection solutions for oil fields and refineries

  • Explosion-proof equipments
  • Vertical deepwell groundbeds
  • Fexible MMO titanium anode
  • Junction boxes & test stations
  • Insulating joints
  • Solid state polarization cells

Oil fields and refineries are some of the largest structures in the oil and gas industry and represent a technological challenge for corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.
Buried pipelines running underground, large storage tanks, plants dealing with high temperatures and corrosive chemicals are all often located in the same area, and are affected by different corrosion problems.
Tecnocorr s.r.l. employs highly skilled technicians with over 30 years of experience in the design of anti- corrosion and cathodic protection systems and fully understand the problems arising in these structures. Our engineering department uses the most advanced products and technologies to offer the best and most cost-effective solutions to corrosion problems in these situations.

Pipelines

Cathodic protection and monitoring systems for pipelines

  • Air & oil cooled Transformer/rectifiers
  • MMO Titanium and Silicon-iron anodes
  • Canistered anodes
  • Flexible anodes
  • Reference electrodes & corrosion probes
  • Vertical deepwell & horizontal shallow groundbed
  • Junction boxes & test stations
  • Flange insulation kits & surge protection
  • Insulating joints

Pipelines undergo different corrosion processes depending on the soil characteristics in which they are located. Pipeline integrity has to be maintained to ensure safe operation without failures that could jeopardize public safety, result in product loss, or cause property and environmental damage (dangerous and ethically unacceptable).
From an economic point of view, corrosion can lead to significant costs for both private and public sectors.
The costs of corrosion can be significantly mitigated by the application of an effective corrosion protection system and an advanced monitoring system. Tecnocorr’s strength and experience is based on many projects around the world for the protection of pipeline installations. These include desert areas in which, to achieve an adequate level of protection, impressed current systems were implemented using deepwell groundbeds with FeSi alloy anodes or Titanium MMO anodes. Tecnocorr s.r.l. provides the widest range of services for corrosion control and continuously offers the most innovative solutions to preserve structures from corrosion, maintain the efficiency of the pipelines and reduce their management costs.

Sealines

Cathodic protection systems for submarine pipelines

  • Aluminium bracelet anodes
  • Sled-mounted anodes

External coating is the primary system for corrosion control on submarine pipelines.
A cathodic protection system based on sacrificial anodes is also applied to protect the pipelines in case of any deficiency in the coating system.
Bracelet-type sacrificial anodes (aluminium-indium as a standard, or sometimes zinc) are the usual preferred system, although in cases of high temperatures; sled type anodes are typically installed. Tecnoseal Industry s.r.l. confronts the challenges of this extremely harsh saltwater environment by careful selection of materials and a constant commitment to research and innovation.

Offshore platforms

Corrosion protection solutions for offshore platforms

  • Stand off aluminium anodes
  • Reference electrodes
  • MMO Titanium anodes
  • Sled-mounted anodes
  • Tensioned anodes
  • Offshore platforms are constantly exposed to corrosion due to the harsh marine environment. Protection is carried out through aluminium or zinc sacrificial anodes, but when the weight of the structure is critical, an impressed current ICCP system or a hybrid system (impressed current combined with sacrificial anodes) can be the best option.
    Tecnocorr s.r.l. always performs a detailed study of all offshore platform s features, with particular attention to both to the marine environment parameters and to the issues related to the design and compatability of cathodic protection, with metallic materials and coatings. There are a variety of different ICCP systems that can be applied: suspended anodes or tensioned systems-systems with anodes directly connected to the structursystems with remote anode groundbeds on the seabed. Tecnocorr’s experience is critical to implement a careful design and selection of materials in order to provide the most advanced and effective CP system to preserve the life of the structure.
