SARK EPC specializes in providing
tailored Cathodic Protection EPC solutions for critical water
infrastructure such as water treatment plants, water pipelines, and
storage facilities.
These systems are specifically
designed to protect assets from corrosion, ensuring long-term
reliability, structural integrity, and compliance with both industry
standards and aquatic health requirements.
Our CP solutions enhance the
durability and performance of these vital systems, ensuring they
continue to deliver safe and reliable water services while minimizing
maintenance costs and environmental impact.
1. Cathodic Protection for Water Treatment Plants
Water treatment plants deal with constant
exposure to harsh chemical environments, including chlorinated water,
which can accelerate corrosion for metal components such as pipes,
valves, tanks, and basins.
Corrosion damage in water treatment
facilities can lead to costly repairs and downtime, impacting the
efficiency and safety of water supply processes.
How SARK EPC Protects:
ICCP System:
SARK EPC designs and implements ICCP systems for water treatment
facilities to protect essential components such as tanks, piping
systems, and submerged structures. We use inert anodes (e.g., titanium,
MMO anodes) that distribute a continuous current to prevent corrosion
and extend the service life of the plant’s infrastructure.
SACP System:
For smaller or simpler facilities, we deploy sacrificial anodes (made
of zinc, magnesium, or aluminium), which corrode in place of the treated
structure, providing low-maintenance protection.
Monitoring & Maintenance:
Our CP systems are equipped with remote monitoring technology to
provide continuous feedback on the system’s performance. This allows to
monitor corrosion rates, current flow, and make adjustments in
real-time, ensuring the water treatment plant remains fully protected.
We ensure all materials used in the cathodic protection system are safe
and compliant with environmental standards to preserve aquatic health
and prevent contamination.
2. Cathodic Protection for Water Pipelines
Water pipelines, whether buried or
submerged, are highly susceptible to corrosion from soil, water, and
other aggressive elements. This includes external corrosion of buried
pipelines and internal corrosion due to the transported water's
characteristics.
How SARK EPC Protects:
ICCP Systems:
We design and install ICCP system for buried and submerged pipelines to
ensure external corrosion is controlled. This involves careful
engineering design, selection of CP components, strategically placing
anodes and supplying a direct current to create a protective current
around the metal pipeline, ensuring corrosion protection of the
pipeline.
SACP System:
For pipelines located in remote or hard-to-reach locations, we use
sacrificial anodes to minimize maintenance requirements and ensure
long-term protection with minimal intervention.
Internal Corrosion Protection:
Suitable sacrificial system is deployed for protection of internal
surface of the large diameter water pipelines carrying aggressive water
like seawater, contaminated water or water having high chloride which is
prone to promote corrosion.
Remote Monitoring:
Our CP systems come equipped with remote monitoring capabilities,
ensuring continuous observation of the CP system. This allows for early
detection of corrosion risks, enabling prompt and proactive maintenance
before any damage affects the pipeline's integrity or service.
3. Cathodic Protection for Storage Facilities
Storage tanks used for water or
wastewater treatment are exposed to moisture, chemicals, and sometimes
extreme temperatures. This exposure increases the risk of corrosion,
especially for metallic tanks, pipes, and fittings.
Corrosion can lead to the degradation of
tank base walls, causing leaks or failure, which can disrupt water
storage and distribution services.
Cathodic protection system can be applied
to the external surface of the tank base (soil side) and internal
surface of tank walls and tank base (water side).
How SARK EPC Protects:
ICCP Systems:
We install ICCP systems for water storage tanks (both elevated and
underground) to protect the metallic tank walls. Our design ensures that
these components remain safe from corrosion over the life cycle of the
facility.
SACP System:
For smaller, less complex storage systems, we provide sacrificial
anode-based protection. These anodes corrode in place of the storage
tank’s metal components, providing an economical solution for smaller
storage tanks.
Remote Monitoring:
Our CP systems are equipped with remote monitoring systems that track
the condition of the storage facility, detecting early signs of
corrosion and enabling immediate corrective actions before any damage
affects water quality or storage capacity.
