The discussion focuses on the placement and spacing of sacrificial anodes for a tank designed to hold drilling mud at near ambient temperatures. The tank is constructed from A36 steel, which is crucial for determining the effectiveness of the anode system. Key factors influencing anode spacing include the type of fluid contained, temperature conditions, and the material of the tank. Participants are encouraged to seek specific guidelines and resources to optimize their sacrificial anode design.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, corrosion specialists, and anyone involved in the design and maintenance of tanks for drilling mud or similar applications will benefit from this discussion.
What fluid or gas is contained in the tank? At what temperature will the contents of the tank be held, or what temperature range will be used? Of what metal or alloy is the tank composed?jddj said:I have been searching the internet and this forum for information on where to place anodes or how far away they should be spaced but have not had much luck. I am trying to design a sacrificial anode system for the inside of a tank. Does anyone have any info to help or send me in the right direction.
Thanks
