This research aims to design a cathodic protection system using the impressed current method and the sacrifice anode method. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of corrosion in industrial facilities as one of the problems that many industrial facilities are exposed to and suffer from losses and damages due to corrosion. Also, in this research, a description of the process through which corrosion occurs, as it is considered a natural process that occurs in the environment. This research presents the calculation of the annual erosion rate, whose value was equal to (2.46312 MPY) as well as, the measurement of soil resistance for the site in which this study was carried out, where its value was equal to (1834.69Ω.m). In this research, the cathodic protection system was designed using the direct current method and the sacrifice anodes method because it is an effective corrosion protection technology that uses the electrochemical properties to make the equipment to be protected the positive electrode (cathode) and the other end is the negative electrode of the cell (anode), where the highest value of the system was using the applied impressed current method equals (-0.792) as well as the highest value using the sacrificial anodes method equals (-0.963). Through this research, it was found that cathodic protection is one of the methods that contributed to reducing the corrosion rate.
