Download or read book Demonstration of Remote Monitoring Technology for Cathodic Protection Systems Phase II written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army owns and maintains more than 3000 miles of buried natural gas pipeline, 20,000 underground storage tanks (USTs), and more than 300 elevated water storage tanks. Cathodic protection (CP) is required by regulation on many of these structures to prevent corrosion. Periodic testing is required to ensure proper CP system operation, but many Directorates of Public Works (DPWs) do not have sufficient resources to conduct such tests regularly. Many malfunctions remain undetected until the structure corrodes and leaks. Several companies have begun manufacturing remote monitoring units (RMUs) for CP systems. This technology allows personnel to monitor multiple CP systems from a central location so problems can be detected and repaired immediately. An 8 month field evaluation of CP RMUs was performed to determine the effectiveness of systems from three manufacturers. Demonstration systems were selected on the basis of cost, features, availability, etc. RMU readings were compared with manual method readings throughout a variety of conditions. Units from only one manufacturer performed successfully. New systems have entered the market since this demonstration began.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cathodic protection (CP) is used to prevent corrosion on many buried and submerged metallic structures such as underground pipes and tanks. Periodic testing is required to ensure proper CP system operation, but many Directorates of Public Works (DPWs) do not have sufficient resources to conduct such tests regularly. Several companies have begun manufacturing remote monitoring units (RMUs) for CP systems. The technology allows personnel to monitor multiple CP systems from a central location so problems can be detected and repaired immediately. RMUs from three manufacturers were evaluated during Phase I of this study (FEAP TR 97/76) to determine their effectiveness. Only one of them performed successfully. During Phase II, RMUs from two additional manufacturers were evaluated. Results showed that both of the systems from Phase II performed successfully and are suitable for use at Army installations.

Download or read book User Guide for Remote Monitoring Equipment for Cathodic Protection Systems Phase II written by Van and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cathodic protection (CP) is required by Federal regulation or Army policy on many buried and submerged structures to prevent corrosion. Periodic testing is required to ensure proper CP system operation, but this testing can be time-consuming and many Army Directorates of Public Works (DPWs) do not have the resources to perform it. Several companies have begun manufacturing remote monitoring units (RMUs) for CP systems. These units allow DPWs to monitor multiple CP systems from a central location. Several commercially available units have been evaluated during a two-phase FEAP demonstration. Beneficial RMU features have been identified and lessons have been learned concerning their implementation. A FEAP User Guide (FEAP UG 97/75) was published based on the results from Phase I. This user guide provides updated information based on Phase II results.

Download or read book Remote Monitoring of Cathodic Protection and Cathodic Protection System Upgrades for Tanks and Pipelines at Fort Carson written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project demonstrated and implemented emerging corrosion protection technologies for utilities at Fort Carson, Colorado, consisting of six deep anode impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems, 106 drive-by type remote monitoring units for existing test stations, and 26 drive-by type remote monitoring units for existing and new rectifiers. ICCP rectifiers and groundbeds were installed on one natural gas main, one steam main, one water storage reservoir, and three separate water supply mains. The remote monitoring units have reduced the amount of time that it takes the contractor who maintains the ICCP systems at Fort Carson to obtain readings from 2 months to 2 days. The automated data are saved in a format that allows him to establish trends for early signs of problems with the system that needs immediate attention. Other Army and DoD Installations have experienced similar problems with the need to upgrade and maintain their cathodic protection systems. It is therefore recommended that these installations implement cathodic protection upgrades and remote monitoring technologies to extend the service life of the utility system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cathodic protection (CP) prevents the corrosion of Corps of Engineers structures such as lock gates, bulkheads, and piers. CP systems must be evaluated and adjusted regularly to make sure that they are providing appropriate levels of corrosion protection. Several companies manufacture systems that are designed to perform this evaluation automatically and/or from a remote location. The objectives of this work were to evaluate commercially available remote monitoring systems to determine their suitability for use on Corps of Engineers Civil Works structures, and to provide equipment selection and implementation guidance for Army Engineer Districts. Three systems were evaluated in the field at Canaveral Lock, Florida, and the results are documented in this report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees’ is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing three volume reference instead. The process safety encyclopedia, trusted worldwide for over 30 years Now available in print and online, to aid searchability and portability Over 3,600 print pages cover the full scope of process safety and loss prevention, compiling theory, practice, standards, legislation, case studies and lessons learned in one resource as opposed to multiple sources
