INTERFACE BETWEEN CATHODIC PROTECTION AND SCADA SYSTEM : A case Study of PETRODAR Operating Company

Abstract

This study is an endeavor to highlight spot points on remote monitoring system technology, especially with regard to the Cathodic protection (CP) system, which is normally utilized to treat the metallic corrosion. Though Cathodic protection remote monitoring system (RMS) isn't new, this study aimed to draw attention to the most vital part in all industrial, medical and all different life aspects, in terms of all metallic assets soil-contact. Taking Petrodar operating company (PDOC) as case study for application of remote monitoring system and trying to fill the gap between Cathodic protection monitoring and control integrity . The corrosion concept of material is representing important part for determining the best method of mitigating the effect of corrosion materials by using proactive techniques of corrosion management like material coating and various Cathodic protection techniques. The need of monitoring Cathodic protection operational devices lead to utilize Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) hirechary levels, functions and characteristic. With advance on telecommunication systems and media, remote monitoring system (RMS) become realistic. Studying PDOC case, and assess the current situation can be realize the application of RMS of Cathodic protection. Throughout this study the greatest aim is to taking care of the best choice and available to selection options of RMS systems properties in terms of reliability, availability and cost effectiveness point of view.
