7. DESIGN OF PERMANENT CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM

7.1. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

The design strategy followed for permanent ICCP system for subject pipeline is enumerated below:

• All buried sections of pipeline shall be protected using permanent impressed current CP system.

• Design life for the impressed current cathodic protection system shall be 25 years as per SOW.

• Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) tubular anodes in coke breeze column shall be used as impressed current anode
for permanent ICCP system.

• Considering the high surface resistivity prevalent in the region, deep well ground beds (borehole type - until
the existing water table) is proposed for the pipeline CP system which shall be remote from the structure to
be protected.

• Remote deep well anode ground beds shall be provided at Produced Water Manifold station to provide
permanent impressed current cathodic protection to the 24” CS pipelines subjected to Produced Water
Manifold station. The requirement of the CP systems has been discussed in the site survey report BST-
GEN-CRR-RPT-AIP-10003-10001-00. The same shall be verified with detailed calculation in the preceding
sections.

• Impressed current anode bed shall be sized as a minimum to discharge the rated current output of the DC
power source.

• Cathodic protection current shall be injected to the anodes through following arrangements: DC power
source→ Anode junction box →Anodes→ Pipeline → Negative Distribution Box →DC power source.

• NDB shall be installed in between the transformer rectifier unit and pipeline. The current drain cable from
the pipeline to transformer rectifier unit shall be routed through negative distribution box.

• Material of construction of AJB, NJB & NDB enclosures shall be SS 316L with a minimum ingress protection
of IP55 and shall be suitable for safe area application.

• Material of construction of bond boxes shall be SS 316L with an ingress protection of IP55 and shall be
suitable for installation in non-classified areas.

• Anode junction box is designed to terminate the anode lead cables with suitable rated shunt for current
measurement.

• The designed active column length is 40 meters considering a spacing 5 meters between anode-to-anode
centres below the water table.

• Potential monitoring test facility shall be provided at every 2 km for proposed pipeline .

• Cable to proposed pipeline connection (monitoring and negative drain connection) shall be achieved by
welded pad / cleats connection. Encapsulation at cable connection location shall be done using two-part
epoxy.

• Cable to existing buried metallic pipeline connection (at P/L crossing locations) shall be achieved by pin
brazing. Encapsulation at cable connection location shall be done using two-part epoxy.

• Test facility shall be provided at metallic foreign pipeline crossing locations identified during site survey.
However, interference and mitigation requirement shall be evaluated and employed during the
commissioning of the system, if required.

• At road crossing locations, CP test station shall be provided on one side of the crossing as minimum.

• Test stations with coupon test facility shall be installed at drain points of the pipeline.

• Test post with bond box for isolation flange & drain point test facility shall be provided at produced water
manifold station of the pipeline to analyse the integrity of the isolation flange and measure the drain point
potential of the pipeline.

• Surge diverter/ spark gap shall be provided across isolation flange as available produced water manifold
Station and intermediate manifold station to protect the isolation flange from the surge AC and lightning
strike on the pipeline.

7.2. CRITERIA FOR PERMANENT CATHODIC PROTECTION

The criteria for determining the adequacy of the protection of structure shall be as per clause 3.3. of CP SOW
doc# BST-GEN-ELE-SOW-OQ-000-00001-00-U-01. Adequate cathodic protection for the 24” CS Pert Lined
produced water disposal pipeline as below:

• Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system shall be designed such that instantaneous “OFF”
potentials can be measured. The system shall be designed to achieve minimum structure-to-electrolyte
“Instant OFF” potential of (-) 850 mV with respect to copper-copper sulphate (Cu/CuSO4) reference
electrode.

• ICCP system will be designed in such a way that maximum “Instant OFF” potential shall be restricted to (-)
1200 mV to avoid over protection of DSS structure. The potentials shall be recorded w.r.t. a saturated
copper-copper sulphate (Cu/CuSO4) reference electrode.

• Alternatively, (Ref: NACE RP 0169 clause no 6.2.2.1.3), a minimum of 100 mV of cathodic polarization
measured between the pipeline surface and a stable reference electrode contacting the electrolyte shall be
considered as an adequate protection. The formation or decay of polarization shall be measured to satisfy
this criterion.

Results & Analysis of the Attenuation Model


The attenuation model indicates the change of potential shift along the pipeline with respect to a potential shift
at the D.C source point or drain point. However, the potentials are shown in the graphs with respect to a
Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode for the convenience of interpreting the model.
The model is based on the assumption that the pipeline and the earth acts as a two-parallel conductor with a
linear resistance component along the pipeline and a shorting resistance across the conductors. The resultant
characteristic resistance and attenuation constant for such system defines the potential attenuation behaviour
along the length of the pipeline. [Refer Von Baeckmann, V., Schwenk, W., and Prince, W Handbook of
Cathodic Corrosion Protection - Third Edition]
This model can only be used as a guideline to determine the capability of a CP station to generate sufficient
potential shift on the pipeline surface, leading to polarization of the pipeline meeting the protection criteria and

has the primary assumption of looking into an infinite resistance on one end which is essential an electrical
isolation.
As per NACE CP4 manual, a net potential shift of 350 mV at any point on the pipeline shall be sufficient to
polarize the pipeline cathodically meeting the criterion above and thus effectively mitigate corrosion.
The maximum and minimum anticipated shifts in potentials are given by the CP criteria under Section 7.2 of
this document. The maximum protection potential criterion for CS pipeline (i.e., a 1200 mV in the electro
negative direction when measured w.r.t. to a portable Cu/CuSO4 reference cell) is impressed on the pipeline
at the drain point, attenuated along the length of the pipeline.

The attenuation model for the 24” produced water pipeline 4250 meters is calculated with 1 number of CP
station (ICCP ground bed and power source) at produced water manifold station.

The attenuation constant above has been used for the water disposal pipeline since this is represents the
worst condition.

Considering the attenuation calculation and over all current demand, it is understood that, the proposed ground
bed at Produced Water manifold station is sufficient to supply adequate current to the proposed pipeline to
meet the design criteria as mentioned in section 7.2.

The attenuation model shall be developed along proposed water disposal pipeline as detailed in Appendix-C
of this document.

Therefore, the proposed ground bed locations are effectively protecting the entire length of pipeline and
satisfies the ICCP design requirements as per section 7.2 of this document.

The Overall pipe to soil potential profile graph is provided under Appendix-C

7.5. GROUND BED DESIGN

General
The design of anode ground bed shall ensure sufficient quantity of anode material and carbonaceous backfill
to meet or exceed the design life time. A utilization factor of 75% is applied over the design to ensure time for
replacement or refurbishment of the system, towards the end of design life, if required. The quantities shall be
calculated on the basis that the maximum CP unit rated current output is impressed for the entire duration of
the design life.

Selection & Design of Active Column

Number of Anodes Required


Minimum anode quantity required in the active column for protection of the pipeline is calculated based on the
current output from an individual anode and the maximum peak current deliverable from a DC power source.
It shall be chosen that the maximum current output from the DC power source as 50 A.
To calculate the minimum number of anodes based on the anode’s maximum current density, the following
formula is used,

I
N = d a L a   A ----------------------------- (18)

Where
N = Number of anodes required
I = Rated current output (A)
da= Diameter of anode (m)

ϒ= Maximum Anode Current Density (A/m2)

N = (50/π x 0.0254 x 1 x 100)………………………………From (18)

= 6.3

≈ 7 No. of Anodes

The calculated total no. of MMO anodes is 7 Nos.

Hence the active column of the deep well bed shall be constructed with a minimum of 7 no’s anodes spaced
5m equidistant from each other along the 40 m depth, backfilled with calcined petroleum coke.

Minimum Quantity of Backfill Required

It is necessary to ensure that the designed coke breeze quantity shall also be sufficient for the minimum rated
current output based on consumption rate and also based on the dimensions of the active column chosen. It
shall be estimated using the following equations.

Based on ground bed dimensions, the minimum quantity of coke breeze required, is given by

WCB = (π x (0.25)2 x 40 x1185) / 4 (kg ) …………………..From (19)

= 2500 kg

However, 2500 kg of calcined petroleum coke shall be considered to account for spillage, diffusion into the
water table and ensure good compaction in the active column. This quantity shall be verified against the
consumption rate.

Based on consumption rate, the minimum quantity of coke required, is given by

= 1666.667 kg

Hence, the 1666.667 kg of calcined petroleum coke shall be required based upon the consumption rate.
Therefore,2500 kg of calcined petroleum coke shall be considered to be supplied to account for spillage,
diffusion into the water table and ensure good compaction in the active column.

7.6. RATED VOLTAGE OUTPUT SELECTION FOR CP UNIT

The Equivalent Circuit


From the equivalent circuit shown below, for the proposed impressed current cathodic protection system for

Vertical remote deep ground bed is proposed to cathodically protect the subject pipeline. The depth of the
borehole shall be fixed at site as per the water table depth during drilling. The active column length and
diameter of the ground bed shall be 40 m and 0.25 m respectively.

The active column length (40 m) shall be drilled from the first water strike observed during drilling, so as to
ensure the active column being completely immersed into the water table at all time. The length of the active
column, in addition to the factors discussed earlier (current density on active column and the backfill quantity
required) is also dependent on the anode to earth resistance. It is advisable to maintain the resistance of active
column, around 1 ohm, during the design stage to ensure effective utilization of power and reduce electrolytic
stress on the anode-electrolyte interface.

The rated output voltage should be at least sufficient to pass the design current demand across the circuit
resistance calculated above. Using Ohms Law, the rated output voltage is given by,

An allowance of 2.0 V shall be considered to overcome the back EMF of the CP circuit as an electrochemical

shall be 48 V.

The proposed maximum rating of cathodic protection DC power source shall be 48 V / 50 A. The proposed TR

as mentioned in the SOW. Therefore, the designed TR unit rating is sufficient to achieve the design criteria for
the proposed & future pipeline.

Maximum allowable resistance of DC power source can be calculated as below

Allowable resistance = (Rated Output Voltage – Back EMF) / Rated Output Current

>> The combined anode to earth resistance shall be around 0.217 Ω and the total
Appendix - C circuit resistance shall not exceed 0.920 Ω, as calculated earlier

iii. Total Resistance in Circuit


R = RAE + RDC + RP Ω
Since, the Pipeline to Remote Earth resistance is too low (due to the
large surface area of pipe, it can be neglected.

Hence, R = RAE + RDC Ω


= 0.276 Ω

iv. Minimum Rate Output Voltage

V = I dc . R + Back Emf

Assuming 2V for Back Emf, the Rated Output Voltage,


V = 15.82 V
Hence, a CP Unit shall be provided with a DC ouput capacity of 48V /50 A
considering the developing field area and future requirements for
upcoming facilities that may arise.

v. Maximum Allowable Circuit Resistance

R max = (V dc - Back Emf) / I dc Ω


= (48 - 2) / 50 Ω
= 0.920 Ω

vi. Input Power for TR Unit

P = kW

4 Conclusion

>> A CP TR unit capable of delivering a DC ouput of 48 V / 50 A, operating on a


suitable deep well ground bed has been designed for a life of 25 years using
Mixed Metal Oxide coated titanium anodes

>> The ground bed shall be 0.25 m in diameter with a length of 40 m for active
column, installed ensuring the first water strike, on the drilled borehole.
