Effect of pH at anode and cathode chamber on the performance of biological cathodic protection

A new corrosion control system which is biological cathodic protection (CP) system was developed using the concept of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Microorganisms available in domestic wastewater was utilised to generate electrons and supplied to the carbon steel pipe, and as consequence, protect the...
