Title
Cathodic Protection of Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tanks
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2007
Scope:
The purpose of this recommended practice is to present
procedures and practices for achieving effective corrosion control
on aboveground storage tank bottoms through the use of cathodic
protection. It contains provisions for the application of cathodic
protection to existing and new storage tanks. Corrosion control
methods based on chemical control of the environment or the use of
protective coatings are not covered in detail.
When cathodic protection is used for aboveground storage tank
applications, it is the intent of this recommended practice to
provide information and guidance specific to aboveground steel
storage tanks in hydrocarbon service. Certain practices recommended
herein may also be applicable to tanks in other services. It is
intended to serve only as a guide to persons interested in cathodic
protection. Specific cathodic protection designs are not provided.
Such designs should be developed by a person thoroughly familiar
with cathodic protection practices.
This recommended practice does not designate specific practices
for every situation because the varied conditions in which tank
bottoms are installed preclude standardization of cathodic
protection practices.
