Anode Calculation - Caisson

This document summarizes the design parameters for cathodic protection of an offshore structure. It details the structure dimensions, area to be protected, criteria for protection, and calculations for anode requirements. The structure has a diameter of 1985mm and height of 9m above the sea floor. Design calls for sacrificial aluminum alloy anodes to provide 25 years of protection. Calculations determine the current requirement is 5.9887 amps, requiring 6 anodes weighing a total of 305.035457 kgs.
