Tanks CP System Calculation

The document provides calculations and specifications for an external sacrificial cathodic protection system for the bottom of a kerosene/diesel storage tank. It details the tank diameter, floor surface area, resistance values, required current and current density, design life, zinc mass required, required length of ribbon anode, and selected anode characteristics including type, galvanic efficiency, current capacity, and consumption rate. Remarks note that adequate splice kits must be ordered and the same backfill material tested by the supplier should be used.
