This article summarises the international development of cathodic protection of steel in concrete. The technology was developed in Europe and the USA for applications to buried prestressed concrete ...

Hyperbolic cooling towers remove heat from power plant condensers using natural draft. Air rises through the center of the tower, and hot water is discharged as a spray in the interior. The ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is widely used, but how it works exactly has been unclear and disputed by experts. ETH researchers propose a mechanism that resolves the apparent contradictions between ...

Two new methods for designing pipeline cathodic-protection systems employ newly developed CP design software for marine pipelines. One method is based upon the recently developed Slope Parameter; the ...

Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

Ducorr 's Ioncrete™ 197 system embeds cathodic protection into raft foundations, basement slabs, and retaining walls at the construction stage ...

It’s only a matter of time before someone in a power plant is killed by a preventable catastrophic failure of a buried natural gas pipeline. The danger posed is less the result of willful negligence ...

This corroding galvanized steel pole exhibits red corrosion products due to corrosivity of soil, chloride ions and galvanic action. When Dawson Public Power District in Lexington, Nebraska, U.S., ...
