Cathodic protection

Electrolytic corrosion of metals

Drinking water, natural gas and domestic wastewater flow through metal structures and are stored in underground tanks, all of which are subject to corrosion.

Any facility with metal components is subject to this phenomenon, which occurs when materials, such as iron and carbon steel, come into contact with an electrolyte, such as soil.

Corrosion is not a phenomenon that can be completely eradicated, but specific measures can be taken as early as the design and construction stage to significantly reduce its effects and ensure the proper functioning, durability, and safety of the systems.
