What is cathodic protection?
Cathodic protection controls corrosion in metal structures and equipment by using direct electrical current to prevent oxidation. It improves safety and reliability and is critical for preventing equipment failure and making assets last longer.
Protection is usually provided either by sacrificial (galvanic) anodes, which corrode in place of the structure, or by impressed current systems, which use a power source to drive protective current. The right choice depends on the structure, its environment and its size.
Assets that benefit
- Buried and submerged pipelines
- Storage tanks

- Improves safety & reliability
- Extends asset life
Cathodic protection is also available through our industrial trading division. Corrosion knowledge is covered in our API 571 course.
Frequently asked questions
What is cathodic protection?
Cathodic protection is a corrosion-control method that applies direct electrical current to a metal structure so that it does not oxidise.
What can cathodic protection be used on?
Pipelines, storage tanks, plant piping, steel structures and other metal equipment exposed to soil or water.
Why is cathodic protection important?
It prevents corrosion-related failures, improves safety and reliability, and extends the life of assets.
