Cathodic Protection – Advanced Solutions for Metal Corrosion Prevention
Cathodic protection is a specialized method for preventing metal corrosion in aggressive environments such as soil, water, and industrial tanks. By applying controlled electrical currents or connecting sacrificial metals, this system protects metal structures from deterioration and significantly extends their service life.
Applications of Cathodic Protection include:
- Protection of oil, gas, and water pipelines
- Protection of industrial tanks and storage vessels
- Safeguarding offshore structures and docks
- Protection of underground metal equipment and bridges

Project implementation stages of the cathodic protection system by Petunia
Petunia executes all cathodic protection system projects with precise engineering approaches and international standards. Our work process includes four main stages, each performed with precision, expertise, and advanced equipment:
Petunia utilizes high-quality, standardized equipment and accessories for the implementation of cathodic protection systems, ensuring complete safety and reliable system performance.
All our products are designed and manufactured according to international standards and include rectifier transformers, anodes, cathodic protection junction boxes and markers, testing and measurement equipment, isolators, flange insulation kits, cables, and related accessories such as joints, clamps, and end caps.
Transformer Rectifier
The transformer rectifier plays the heart role of the cathodic protection system and provides the necessary direct current to prevent metal corrosion.
Anodes
Anodes act as a source of protective current and, with precise installation, enhance the lifespan of structures in corrosive environments.
Cathodic protection junction boxes and markers
These boxes are where cables and protective equipment are connected, and markers specify the location of anodes for inspection and maintenance.
Test and measurement equipment
These devices allow precise monitoring of the cathodic protection system and ensure the proper flow and protective coating function.
Separator equipment
Flow separation equipment is used to control and manage protective flow between structures and anodes, enhancing the safety of the system.
Flange insulation kit
Flange insulation kits protect metal connections from corrosion and optimize the performance of the cathodic protection system.
Cables used in cathodic protection systems
Cables used in cathodic protection systems are usually single-core and have XLPE/PVC insulation.
Cathodic protection accessories and ancillary items
This category includes essential connections such as joint, coke, hand cap, and other accessories that facilitate the installation and maintenance of the system.
Cathodic protection is an advanced method to prevent corrosion of metals such as pipes and tanks in corrosive environments. This system increases the lifespan of structures and reduces maintenance and repair costs.
This system stops corrosion reactions by supplying direct electrical current to metal structures, protecting the metals against corrosion.
The main equipment includes transformer rectifiers, anodes, junction boxes, markers, cables and related accessories, test and measurement equipment, and flange insulation kits.
To ensure proper functioning, the system should be inspected and measured at least once a year by a team of specialists. In highly corrosive environments, shorter inspection intervals are recommended.
Yes, the design, installation, and monitoring of this system require specialized engineers with experience in cathodic protection to ensure proper functioning and the longevity of the structure.
The benefits include extending the lifespan of structures, reducing maintenance costs, increased safety, and compliance with international standards.
The Petunia engineering team is ready to provide professional solutions for the design, installation, and monitoring of cathodic protection systems for your industrial and infrastructure projects.
