FEAC Engineering P.C.

Cathodic protection aims to eliminate the corrosion of a surface by converting it into the cathode of an artificial made electrochemical cell. Cathodic protection can be applied using two methods: 1) Sacrificial Anodes method and 2) Impressed Current Cathodic Protection method. Prediction of potential and current distribution is a serious issue in several cathodic protection applications, in design as well as in operating, monitoring and retrofitting contests. Computational methods and simulation software can assist CP engineers for analyzing both simple and complex geometries as well.

FEAC Engineering P.C. offers PITHIA-CP software for CP design. PITHIA-CP helps you getting realistic virtual models of structures with accurate knowledge of current and potential distribution by taking into consideration the non- linear electrochemical behavior of the metal. The simulation enables to pinpoint the critical points and to easily optimize the cathodic protection system by examining alternative scenarios.

About Us
Mr. Charilaos Kokkinos (CTO) worked at CERN as a member of the design study team in the Superconducting Magnet Design & Technology Section for the upgrade of superconducting magnets of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Charilaos is specialized in Multiphysics Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models incorporating advanced materials and structures, including high performance metallic materials, composites & superconductors. He is an advanced user of ANSYS Workbench suite as well as an advanced/certified engineer by Siemens DISW for the Siemens CAE suite.

Mr. Sotiris Kokkinos (CEO) followed the sector of Telecommunications & Information Technology and became specialized in computer networks and wireless data transmission. He has proven working experience in the fields of automation, renewable energy sources and telemetry (computer networks and wireless data transmission) by leading the engineering team. Sotiris participated in worldwide simulation conferences & engineering contests.


Problem we are solving
PITHIA is based on the numerical method called Boundary Element Method (BEM). BEM is considered as the ideal method for fast & accurate results with low computational and hardware requirements, when dealing with problems involving infinite domains. By infinite domains, it is meant huge areas such as the ocean, the air and the ground.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
PITHIA has also further capabilities which enhance its engineering disciplines. Currently, the PITHIA -NOISE module is under development which tackles with the noise pollution occurring from anthropogenic activities such as ship traffic, offshore wind turbines and oil & gas extraction, affecting the ocean life and environment. A very hot and of great importance topic which is also clearly addressed in the European Green Deal Call.
