During the ILTA 2024 Conference and Trade Show , our team had the opportunity to speak with Ralph Eichlin, Cathodic Protection specialist at Corrosion Control , a company dedicated to corrosion inspection and control services.
The importance of corrosion protection
Corrosion Control is a reference company in the industrial sector, due to its specialization in cathodic protection and corrosion inspection services worldwide. Ralph shared details about the company’s focus on corrosion protection, professional service of various infrastructures, including fuel storage terminals, military installations, airports and mooring structures .
“The most crucial aspect in corrosion control is to incorporate protection from the beginning of the project design, ” explained Eichlin. Furthermore, he detailed that “It is essential to select the right equipment “selecting the implementation of correct tools, and so on”adjust the environment and follow the correct procedures to effectively address corrosion protection .”
Also in the interview, he pointed out some important aspects such as the application of control methods in tanks . An essential point for cathodic protection is the supervision and certification of the interior and exterior of the tanks.
By applying the technique, they create an electrical environment that protects the floor plates of the tank , allowing them to act as cathodes, and thus prevent them from corroding. Additionally, Ralph indicates that the company’s vast experience in carrying out proper maintenance on older construction tanks ensures that any tank could last a hundred years or more.
