Cetim Procor
The most powerful cathodic protection software with hybrid system for verification and design

INDUSTRIAL REQUIREMENTS
- Verification and validation of existing protection systems to facilitate decision making
- Optimization of hybrid cathodic protection, technically and economically
- Reduction of maintenance costs by evaluating life cycle of installations
- Optimization of the electric signature of military and non-military structures at sea
APPLICATION DOMAINS
- Structure installation: underground pipelines and buried, pumping stations, storage tanks
- Maritime industry: military vessels, submarines, offshore structures, FPSO
- Energy and utilities: complex storage capacity for corrosive liquids, chemical waste, water heater tanks
- Renewable energy: offshore renewable power generators
UNIQUE FEATURES
- Computation of hybrid solutions for 100% efficient cathodic protection systems, supported by a validation process and on-site experimentation
- Accurate computation with complex geometry and polarization by monitoring Ohmic drop in long structures, infinite domains, structural nodes etc.
- Focused on non-homogenous and complex conditions i.e. structures immersed, submerged or buried in various undesirable environments
- Access to a team of experts in failure analysis in corrosive environment
COMPUTATION STRATEGIES
For new cathodic protection system:
- Selection of the best hybrid protection system: Galvanic anodes & impressed currents
- Estimate the necessary investment
- Estimate the anodes and structure life-time
- Optimize the installation and maintenance costs
- Specify the maintenance control points
- Optimize the environmental impact of the cathodic protection
For existing systems:
- Verify the efficiency of the existing protection
- Identify any under or over-protected areas
- Control the current flux from anodes
- Compute the polarization time
- Estimate of the remaining life of the protection
Procor capabilities:
- Modelling of structure’s surfaces only
- Used elements: 6-node triangles, 8-node quadrangles, 3-node tubes
- Integration of heterogeneous conductive media
- Non-linear polarization laws
- Dynamic polarization conditions in function of the polarization time
- Integration of local defects and ageing of the coating
- Electrical conditions in semi-infinite and infinite regions
- Ohmic drop in the tubes
