Protect tank bottoms and prevent releases — CP design, internal linings, API 2350 overfill protection & leak detection
What you'll learn
Design a cathodic protection system for a tank bottom — galvanic and impressed current, anode selection, current demand and rectifier sizing
Apply the minus 850 millivolt and 100 millivolt protection criteria and interpret an instant-off potential survey correctly
Build an API 2350 overfill prevention system — tank category, levels of concern, response time and independent protection layers
Specify an internal lining to API 652 — material selection, surface preparation, film thickness and holiday testing
Diagnose the mechanisms that destroy tank bottoms — soil-side, product-side, microbiologically influenced and stray current corrosion
Use qualifying protection systems to extend API 653 internal inspection intervals and document the technical justification
Specify release prevention barriers, double bottoms, interstitial monitoring and leak detection systems
Troubleshoot underprotecting CP systems and diagnose lining failures from their appearance
Design secondary containment and meet environmental compliance and groundwater protection requirements
Build, audit and demonstrate the effectiveness of an integrated tank protection programme
Requirements
No prior corrosion or cathodic protection knowledge is required — the electrochemistry is built from first principles
Any engineering or technical background is enough to follow the course
Helpful but not essential: some exposure to storage tanks, terminals or plant inspection
Useful alongside the course but not required: copies of API 651, API 652, API 2350 and API 653
No software or purchases needed — this is an applied, standards-grounded course
