Cathode Protection for Off-Shore Platforms – Gas Pipelines
Another sector where photovoltaic systems have shown excellent results because of their:
- Versatility
- Simple installation
- Reliability
is the cathode protection.
|
Indeed thanks to special equipment
supplied by photovoltaic systems it is possible to make
circulate some injected currents between an anode and
the metallic surface (gas and oil pipelines, aqueducts
ext.) to be protected. This current decreases the electric
potential of the metallic surface till it cancels the
phenomenon of corrosion.
Besides granting the cathode protection, photovoltaic and
hybrid systems themselves can grant the daily electrical
needs of installations such as off-shore platforms or gas
and oil pumping stations, for the following uses:
- Primary uses of the personnel (lighting, refrigerator,
freezer, TV, ext.)
- Light signalling for heliport runways
- Navigation AIDS
- Data collection and telemetry
- Telecommunications.

The programme of ENERECO srl
The technical department of ENERECO srl has developed a series of systems and
applications related to the field of cathode protection for gas and oil pipelines,
aqueducts and off-shore platforms, according to the customer’s needs.
Moreover, thanks to the continue cooperation with the main manufacturers of equipment
for the cathode protection, ENERECO srl is able to satisfy any requirement concerning
systems supplied by photovoltaic or hybrid systems.
“HPV-CAT” SYSTEMS
HPV-CAT systems developed
by ENERECO srl are dimensioned from time to time
according to the customer’s
demands and to the installation site.
They can be photovoltaic, wind or hybrid. In
the “turn-key” installations,
all the necessary devices can be also supplied:
feeders for cathode protection, anodes, ground
plates of any type, electrodes, ext..
