Cathodic protection stations used to protect MT from corrosion. Characteristics, parameters, classification

ensuring reliable and safe operation of oil and gas pipelines and preventing their destruction due to corrosion is of great importance, as this can lead to disastrous consequences due to the large number of staff and the concentration of expensive, technologically important equipment. The practice of underground pipelines operation shows that the quality of their corrosion protection is determined mainly by the efficiency of the electrochemical protection means (ECP), the main criterion of which is the polarization potential of the pipe relative to the surrounding corrosive soil.
