The use of a multi-system approach to cathodic protection is primarily driven by the increasing complexity of the types of structures, which are part of the common cathode in modern plants.
Traditionally cathodic protection systems and their designs were based on single cathode structures like cross country pipelines or individual tanks. As the technology matured CP was applied to a wider range of structures but usually the design philosophies adopted remained unchanged.
In order to remove the issues of stray current corrosion and to accommodate the requirements for earthing between structures many clients are adopting an inter-bonded approach to complex plants. In this approach all structures are made into an equi-potential belt such that conventional soil-based remote CP systems do not cause harm. The issues of design of multiple cathodic protection system types to address the various structures such as piles, pile-caps, pits, buildings, intakes, ponds, pipework, etc. are elaborated. In addition, the ability to accurately monitor and control such complex systems in a manner that allows true data to be determined without interference is demonstrated.
Cavitation occurs in localized areas where there is a pressure drop across a structure; the water goes through a phase transition and forms water vapor. These vapor bubbles implode, resulting in high velocity micro-jets which impact adjacent surfaces. These impacts release shockwaves of energy, which cause microscopic particles of the surface material to flake off.1 Repeated micro-jet impact causes microfractures in the affected surfaces and leads to pitting.

Corrosion prevention on infrastructure subject to water immersion exposure has become more challenging due to the regulation of volatile organic compound (VOC) content in protective coatings. Legacy coating systems, such as vinyl solutions, afforded service lives of 30 to 50 years and were robust enough to endure cyclic exposure in impacted immersion service and stable against ultraviolet (UV) light exposure in atmospheric environments. Coal tar enamels are anoth er historic coating that has provided 50- to 100-year service lives as liners for small and large diameter pipes.
The Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation site is a multi-waste treatment facility that removes radioactive and hazardous contaminants from various sources such as condensate wastewater generated by 242-A Evaporator campaigns, groundwater projects, solid waste disposal facilities, and other Hanford clean-up activities. It has been operational since December 1995 and will reach its original 30-year design life in 2025. The waste streams processed in the ETF are different from Hanford tank-farm wastes, in that the ETF wastes range to relatively higher chloride and sulfate concentrations, and lower nitrate and nitrite concentrations.
