CATHODIC PROTECTION FOR MINE STEEL STRUCTURE AND MINING SUPORTING FACILITIES
Description
Ø The mine steel structures and the mining supporting
facilities are naturally subject to failure cause by corrosion hazards, and
potentially affect health, safety and environment. These may result in wasting
of steel component, slowing down the mining operation, increasing maintenance
and repair cost, loss of asset, loss of production, and sudden failure and
injury.
Ø The steel structure include the main mining equipment;
and the supporting facilities are field transportation vehicle, ship and
barges, jetty, steel piles, bridges, fuel storage tanks, fuel and water
transportation pipeline, mining waste disposal pipeline, and any other steel
structure in the mining site.
Ø The corrosion damage can only be prevented and totally
stopped by application of cathodic protection.
Ø The course focuses on recognition and identification
of corrosion hazards, its potential damage to steel structures in the mining
field, the risk of equipment failure, injury, and the negative effects to
safety and environment; and the principle method and techniques to prevent or
control corrosion damage with cathodic protection.
Ø Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection (SACP) method
and Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) method will be explained in
detail, both for inland (topside) mining steel structures and underwater or
water-immersed mining supporting facilities.
It provides a basic but thorough review of corrosion
characteristics and its devastating mechanism, cathodic protection principle
and method, and the technique by which cathodic protection can be applied.
Active participation is encouraged through case studies, examples, and an open
discussion format.
· Corrosion mechanism of mining steel structure and
mining supporting facilities.
· Atmospheric, soil and water corrosiveness.
· Standard and recommended practice for application of
anti-corrosion method and materials; and consideration for the use of cathodic
protection.
· Practical methods to prevent atmospheric topside
corrosion.
· Cathodic protection for fuel, chemicals, and water
storage tanks, silos, piping, structures, and its associated equipment.
· Cathodic protection for underground pipeline,
structures, and its associated equipment.
· Cathodic protection for underwater pipeline and structures,
ships, barges, jetty, steel piles, bridges, fuel and water transportation
pipeline, waste disposal pipeline, and marine facilities.
· Design and installation of SACP and ICCP.
· Inspection, monitoring, maintenance and evaluation of
SACP and ICCP.
Hazards and Safety in using Cathodic Protection
System.
· The course will be delivered in the form of classroom
exposition, case studies and open discussion. Course materials will be handed
out as hard and soft copy.
· The course will be given in Bahasa Indonesia. In
special case, upon request, it will be in English.
· Actual field problems, which are about to bring to the
course, will be presented and discussed in the class and shared to find
recommendation as a specific solution. All participant documents should be
treated as confidential.
Course itinerary, materials and program will be
provided and prepared by the organizer.|
