Note -The above details conceived from the Project Documents. As specified in mail tank bottom
plate CP is only in considered in our offer.
5.3 Design concept- ICCP system
The Cathodic protection system design will be based on the above parameters. Calculations are carried out
based on the above design life and bill of quantities are derived accordingly.
Mixed Metal Oxide Ribbon Anodes will be installed in mesh/Grid form to protect the tank bottom plates.
Conductor bars will be spot welded to the ribbon anodes to feed positive current to the anodes. Anodes will be
powered by means of factory-assembled power feed connections. Individual DC output Transformer Rectifier
with sufficient additional capacity as that of actually required will be used to supply current to the anode system
of each tank.
CP system for each tank will comprise of individual anode mesh. Anode mesh will be laid on a sweet sand
cushion of 100 ~ 150 mm thick. Spacing between anode mesh and the tank bottom plate will be at min 400
mm. calculated number of power feeders will be connected to titanium bars, interconnecting the Active Anode
ribbon. The distance between interconnecting titanium conductor bars will be kept less than 3-5m and those
between the anodes ribbons will be 1000mm max. Power feeders for each tank will be terminated inside the
anode junction box through current measuring shunts. Negative drain cables will be connected to the tank and
terminated in negative terminal of the TR.
5.4 System monitoring
Permanent reference electrodes will be installed within the foundation pad below the tank bottom, prior to tank
construction, to monitor the potential at inaccessible and critical points.
Permanent reference electrodes will be placed at tank bottom (according to the diameter of tank) for monitoring
of CP performance of tanks. Reference electrode Tail cables will be terminated in the test station outside the
tank for monitoring purpose. Monitoring cable from the tank will also be routed to the test station and
terminated.
Perforated PVC tube dia 3”, wrapped with geo-textile, laying at a distance of 100 to 200 mm below the external
face of the tank, and crossing through the concrete ring wall, will also be installed to facilitate monitoring of
potentials using portable reference electrodes.
Isolation
The Tanks bottom backfilling shall be done with clean sand. Secondary containment using HDPE liner or thick
plastic sheet must be provided for the sand backfill. This must be confirmed by main contractor
The actual anode qty, cable lengths etc., will be finalized up during detailed design. All equipment and
materials are selected for classified area. Installation location of the equipment will be finalized during
the design according to the classification of the area.
6. Installation Supervision, Test and commissioning
BSS Tech will supervise and verify that the construction test procedures are being correctly implemented
by the Contractor and sub-contractors. As a separate exercise BSS Tech will do the testing and
commissioning and produce commissioning reports of the system performances.
