8.INSTALLATION FOR TANK EXTERNAL:

8.1. General Installation Procedures for Grid System:

Prior to work, the Contractor shall review and become thoroughly familiar with the cathodic
protection drawings, applicable project specifications, and HSE policies.
The project drawings show the general arrangement of the cathodic protection equipment and can
be revised, if necessary, to meet site conditions. Any changes require prior approval from the
appropriate authority and must be noted on as-built drawings.
For Civil Work the schedule for installation of the cathodic protection equipment shall be
coordinated with the civil contractor. The anode grid shall be installed directly in the clean sand
between the HDPE liner and the tank bottom plates. The anode grid shall be surrounded by clean
sand, free from stones and debris.
The use of oiled sand or asphalts in the tank foundations is not allowed. The cathodic protection
equipment will be installed at two elevations. The anode grid shall be installed slightly above the
HDPE liner. The reference electrode and monitoring / calibration tubes shall be installed slightly
below the tank bottom plates.
It is recommended that the location where the sumps and other protrusions below the tank be
“blocked out” with wooden forms. The backfilling operation shall be in accordance with civil
specification.

8.2.Installation of Grid System (Ribbon, Conductor Bar & Power Cable):

PROTECTION INSTALLATION
Project No: 10230 Contract No: 25303
Document no; ELECO-TR-TGP-CR-MS-EI-008 Rev: 00

An impressed current system using a grid system will be used for cathodic protection of the
external surfaces of the bottom plates for the tanks included in the scope of this project. Each
system will be similar and generally consist of a transformer rectifier, titanium / MMO anode
system, power feeds, junction boxes, reference electrodes and associated cabling.
The negative output terminal of the rectifier will be connected to the tank and the positive output
terminal will be connected to the anode feeder cable.
When the transformer rectifier is energized, current will be discharged from the anode grid, flow
through the sand to the tank bottom plates and return to the rectifier through the negative structure
cable. When adequate current densities are achieved on the tank bottom, corrosion is mitigated.
The anode grid is installed directly under the tanks in the sand backfill which ensures a very
uniform distribution of the cathodic protection current. The grid consists of titanium ribbon anode
which has Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) coating on it and uncoated titanium conductor bars.
The anode ribbon is installed in multiple parallel anode chords evenly spaced under the entire area
of the tank. Titanium conductor bars are installed perpendicular to the anode ribbons. The anode
ribbons are resistance welded to the conductor bars at every crossing.
The anode ribbon will be connected to conductor bar by multiple feeder cables, which will minimize
the voltage drop across the anode grid. This configuration provides a uniform anode grid
throughout the entire pad of the tank bottom, which will promote a very uniform current density to
the tank bottom.
Positive cable connection to anode i s achieved by spot welding a factory assembled power feed
assembly to the conductor bar. This avoids any field splices.
Permanent copper / copper sulfate reference electrode will be installed under the tank to adjust
and monitor the performance of the cathodic protection system. In addition, slotted pipe will be
installed under the tanks bottom to monitor the tank bottom potential by using portable reference
electrode.
It is necessary to installation of the cathodic protection equipment in different phases of the project
as follows:

structures. A short circuit between the anode and other metallic structures including; the tank
bottoms plates, tank sumps, electrical conduits, reinforcing steel, instrumentation lines, piping,
ground rods etc., will render the CP system non-functional.
Therefore, it is recommended that the electrical resistance be measured between the power feeds
and the tank bottom plates. A measurement should be made immediately after the installation of
the first plate. Subsequent periodic measurements should be taken during installation of the tank
bottom plates - especially if it is suspected that a bottom plate has contacted the anode grid (i.e.at
sumps that protrude below the tank bottom plates)
The measurement technique involved using a megger to measure the electrical resistance (in
Ohms) between the steel tank bottom plates and the power feed cables. The electrical resistance
should be significant and any drastic reduction of the initial resistance value should be
investigated.

All work areas including access and storage areas shall be restored to their original condition.
Excess materials, as well as all scrap and debris, shall be removed. All clean up shall be approved
by the Saudi Aramco representative.

Spot welding will be used for connection of M.M.O ribbon anode and conductor bar which is very
thin metallic as shown the below.
Spot welding is a resistance welding process for joining metal sheets by directly applying opposing
forces with electrodes with pointed tips. By one or two electrode
The current and the heat generation are localized by the form of the electrodes. The weld nugget
size is usually defined by the electrode tip contact area. Spot welding for CP work also used to
connect electrical conductivity without force of tension and other reason.
Spot welding is simple and different with strict SMAW because the spot welding is no need free of
leakage, force of tension and other strict requirement. Spot welding generally is doing like
resistance spot welding procedure without strict test and special qualification.

13.2.Training and Quality Testing:

Spot welder and related electronic assemblies shall be performed by a welding operator qualified
by training.

For each unique type of weld to be produced, a minimum of 5 sample welded connections shall be
produced for an initial procedure qualification.
The qualification sample set shall be acceptable to all of the following 3 levels of quality control as
applicable, for successful qualification:
A) Visual inspection, B) Conductivity (Resistivity) testing,
