Design of Galvanic Anode Cathodic Protection Systems for Offshore Structures

Describes a new design method based on first principles derivations, summarizes laboratory and field experimental data related to the new design approach, gives examples of how existing design criteria are incorporated into the new design equation, and presents two example designs using the new equation. The new design approach allows more precise design of cathodic protection systems, particularly in areas such as deep water or new geographic area.
