Sacrificial Anode Design Calculations

The document provides a basic calculation method for determining the required sacrificial anode system for protecting piles from corrosion in seawater and seabed environments. It lists design parameters such as anode life, current densities, and consumption rate. It then outlines the field information needed, such as pile dimensions and surface areas, to calculate the protective current, required anode weight, number of piles, and number and total weight of anodes needed. An example calculation is provided for two different jetty areas.

BASIC CALCULATION FOR SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM

DESIGN DATA
CALCULATED LIFE TIME OF ANODE (Y) = 25 Years
CURRENT DENSITY IN SEAWATER (CDSW) = 35 mA/sq.m
CURRENT DENSITY IN SEABED (CDSB) = 15 mA/sq.m
CONSUMPTION RATE OF ALUMUNIUM WATER FACE (CON) = 3.5 Kg/Amp.Y
ANODE UTILIZATION FACTOR (U) = 0.9
SAFETY FACTOR (SF) = 1

INFORMATION FROM FIELD


LSW = Length of pile in seawater
LSB = Length of pile in seabed
SASW = Surface area of pile in seawater = pi x Dia x LSW
SASB = Surface area of pile in seabed = pi x Dia x LSB
CSW = Protective current required in seawater = pi x Dia x LSW x CDSW
CSB = Protective current required in seabed = pi x Dia x LSB x CDSB
CP = Protective current required in pile = CSW + CSB
WT = Total Weight of almunium anode req. = CP x Y x CON x SF : U
W = Propose Anode weight / pile
NOS = Number of Pile
N = Number of Anode
AL = Alumunium Supplied = W x NOS
