With more than three decades of experience, CP Solutions, Inc. specializes in corrosion control engineering and consultation services for municipal, industrial and commercial infrastructure. Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique for corrosion protection using electrochemical means, minimizing the anodic dissolution of a metallic structure.
This is done by reducing the electrical potential energy difference between the anodic and cathodic sites on the surface of a metal when it is placed into a conductive electrolyte, which could be either soil, water, or even concrete.In theory, CP is achieved when the open-circuit potential of the cathodic sites are polarized to the open-circuit potentials of the anodic sites.
The goal is to make the entire structure a cathode (current receiver) relative to an expendable or replaceable anode (current provider). The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE International) has established specific criteria for metals placed into a variety of electrolytes.

Services
At CP Solutions, Inc., a wide variety of engineered corrosion-control applications are possible using either sacrificial (galvanic) anodes or impressed current (rectified) anodes for cathodic protection of municipal, industrial and commercial infrastructure.
Sacrificial anodes are most often made of an alloy of magnesium, zinc or aluminum, although different alloys are available for different electrolytes including seawater, soil and concrete.
Each different type of sacrificial anode will be the source of cathodic protection current because of higher electrical potential anode of the anode versus the protected structure.

For me, it has been a REALLY great career, but after 40 years of service to the Corrosion-Control Community, it's now time to say GOODBYE; thus: EFFECTIVE 1/29/2021, I WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY PROPOSALS FOR CP SERVICES THAT WILL EXTEND BEYOND 9/30/2021.
U.S. needs to invest $109 billion per year in water infrastructure over the next 20 years.
Two plastic containers filled with water and a carbon steel nail.
The water in the right container has a trace chemical addition while the left container has just plain well water.
