Cathodic Protection for Underground Tanks - Anodes and Anode Bags - Mesa

Two commonly applied protection methods can be used on underground tanks. External coating and cathodic protection. These two methods are complementary, and should be used together. While  an effective external coating can insulate more than 99% of the steel surface from the soil environment, no coating is perfect. Damage from construction or soil stresses creates tiny defects which can result in accelerated corrosion at the defect. 

Cathodic protection prevents corrosion at the defects by applying DC current from an external source, such as a magnesium anode. This forces  the tank to become a cathode, and corrosion of the tank is prevented. Application of sufficient DC current to the tank will prevent any corrosion from occurring. Due to its low current requirements, the preferred cathodic protection for an LP-Gas tank is a sacrificial anode system, generally consisting of a magnesium rod(s) attached to the tank with a copper wire and buried near the tank. This  results in current flow from the  anode to the tank and the resulting cathodic protection effectively stops the corrosive process from taking place.
