A Right Way To Calculate Pipe CP Potential Attenuation

Shown on Figure 1 is a typical impressed current CP diagram. When the rectifier is first turned on, i.e. time t=0, there is no polarization yet. At that moment, the applied DC voltage is fully consumed by IR drops at anode (IRa0) and cathode (IRc0), plus original potential difference between anode and pipe (Eoca- Eocc). When t=0, the current is at the greatest value. Over time when polarization kicks in, due to adding polarization resistance, the current is gradually reduced.

Pipeline polarized potential attenuation is supposed to be IR-free pipe-to-soil potential distribution along a pipeline. Currently, most of the potential attenuation calculations in published documents or in CP training manuals are either a pure IR drop attenuation or attenuation that contains IR drop. Polarization and IR drop are caused by applying current to the pipe surfaces. When current density distribution along a pipeline is determined, the attenuation of cathodic polarization (IR free potential
shift) can be established. Current density is restrained by both pipe to soil resistance and pipe polarization resistance. This article uses current density attenuation and polarization resistance to determine the polarization (IR-free potential shift) attenuation.

Oil and gas buried pipelines are protected against corrosion by both organic coatings, a passive protection system, and cathodic protection, an active protection system. When coating defects occur, CP controls the corrosion of the exposed steel surface. From an operating point of view, cathodic protection interruptions can occur on the network during interventions, consignments, or technical problems. Literature indicates that during CP interruption the corrosion rate of the metal remains lower than its free corrosion rate. Application of CP confers a remanence of protection to the metal. The objective of this study is to determine the safe duration for cathodic protection interruptions depending on environmental and cathodic protection conditions.

There are several ways to validate the performance of a cathodic protection (CP) system for buried pipelines. Over the years, pipeline networks and their corrosion challenges have become increasingly complicated, not least due to the many sources of both AC and DC interference that affects CP operation. Also, the various measurement techniques that can be applied to test CP effectiveness has increased over the years. Finally, the sheer number of buried pipeline miles has been constantly increasing.
