The distributed anode impressed current C. P. system, installed during original plant construction, was at the end of its useful life. A total system replacement was required since the existing groundbeds could not be replaced with like kind due to interferences with in place structures. The lead author functioned as Subject Matter Expert and Engineer of Record working with plant engineering staff to develop a new ICCP system consisting of 20 rectifiers and 22 semi-deep anode groundbeds. The task was completed by early 2013. This resulted in 4.2 million dollar construction project completed in 2013.
