Resumen

The boundary element method, combined with the determination method for calcareous formation, was employed to optimize the cathodic protection (CP) system for the retrofit of an ASTM A36 (UNS K02600) carbon steel offshore platform. Based on the platform structure and anode distribution and consumption, a series of retrofitting schemes was evaluated to maximize CP for the entire structure. The optimization process provided an insight on how the distribution of anodes affects the structure-seawater potential and the life of the anodes.
