Applications: Anode connections, structure bonding, test station wiring, and all CP system electrical connections.
Definition: Backfill materials, including coke breeze, are specially formulated carbonaceous materials used to surround impressed current anodes in groundbeds. They reduce anode-to-soil resistance, improve current distribution, and extend anode life.
Applications: Deep anode groundbeds, impressed current systems in soil, pipeline CP, and any installation requiring low-resistivity backfill for anode performance.
Definition: Transformer rectifiers are the power supply units for impressed current cathodic protection systems. They convert AC power to regulated DC power, providing the current needed to protect large structures such as pipelines and offshore platforms.
Applications: Pipeline CP, offshore platforms, storage tanks, impressed current systems requiring reliable, adjustable DC power.
Definition: CP coupons are test specimens used to monitor the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems. They provide direct measurement of protection levels and are essential for compliance verification and system performance assessment.
Applications: Pipeline monitoring, tank bottom assessment, offshore structure monitoring, and CP system performance verification.
Definition: Isolation and decoupling devices are used to manage electrical connections in CP systems. They allow for effective cathodic protection while mitigating AC interference, lightning strikes, and stray current effects.
Applications: Pipeline AC mitigation, electrical isolation, lightning protection, stray current mitigation, and CP system integrity management.
Definition: Surge protection devices (SPDs) protect CP systems and associated equipment from transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes, switching operations, and other electrical disturbances, ensuring system reliability and equipment longevity.
Applications: Pipeline CP systems, offshore platforms, storage tanks, and all CP installations requiring protection from transient electrical surges.
Definition: Monitoring systems provide real-time data on cathodic protection system performance, including potential measurements, current output, and environmental conditions. They enable proactive maintenance and compliance reporting.
Applications: Pipeline monitoring, offshore platform surveillance, storage tank CP verification, and all CP systems requiring continuous performance tracking.

PROTRS provides end-to-end cathodic protection solutions across multiple industry sectors. Our approach combines expert design, quality products, and professional installation support to deliver systems that perform reliably for decades.
Overview: Pipeline corrosion is one of the most significant threats to the integrity of oil, gas, and water transmission systems. PROTRS provides comprehensive cathodic protection solutions for both onshore and offshore pipelines, ensuring long-term integrity and regulatory compliance.
Technical Approach: Our pipeline CP solutions include detailed design using industry-standard modelling software, selection of appropriate anode systems (sacrificial or impressed current), installation of test stations and reference electrodes, and integration with remote monitoring systems for continuous performance assessment.
Key Considerations: Soil resistivity, pipeline coating type, environmental factors, AC/DC interference mitigation, and regulatory compliance requirements.
Overview: Oil and gas facilities present complex corrosion challenges due to the combination of buried infrastructure, atmospheric exposure, and aggressive process environments. PROTRS delivers integrated CP solutions for refineries, terminals, and processing facilities.
Technical Approach: We design comprehensive protection strategies that address all corrosion risks within the facility, including tank bottoms, pipe racks, buried lines, and structural steel. Our solutions include both sacrificial and impressed current systems, integrated with facility-wide monitoring.
Key Considerations: High-temperature environments, process fluid compatibility, congested underground utilities, and safety-critical systems.
Overview: Storage tanks, both above-ground and underground, require specialized corrosion protection to ensure structural integrity and prevent environmental contamination. PROTRS provides internal and external CP systems for all types of storage tanks.
