Abstract:
      Objective To design a new type sacrificial anode by configuration optimization to increase the current output in the initial stage when it has the similar quality to that of conventional anode, to rapidly polarize the cathode to the protection interval. In the late stage, the current is going to be reduced, to meet the needs of the average and the end protection current demand, and achieve the purpose of saving sacrificial anode. Methods Two wings were added in both sides of the traditional anode, to reduce the water-resistance and increase the initial current. The rapid dissolution of the wings reduced the surface area rapidly and also the current output. Results For new type anode with similar qualities with the conventional anode, the initial current outputs increased by more than 30%, much higher than the designed value of 10%. After the initial polarization, the current outputs of the new type anode were rapidly reduced to the level equivalent to the conventional anode. Conclusion According to the test results, the cathodic protection design of jacket platform can achieve the purpose of saving sacrificial anode.
