anode
Anodes are components used in cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion on metal structures, especially those submerged in water or buried underground, such as ships, underground pipelines, tanks, and piers.
An anode functions by sacrificing itself (sacrificial anode) so that the main metal structure remains protected from corrosion. Common types of anodes include Zinc anodes & Aluminum anodes depending on the application and environmental conditions.
ZINC ANODE
Zinc anodes and aluminum anodes are sacrificial anodes used in cathodic protection systems to prevent metal corrosion in marine, offshore, and industrial applications. These anodes sacrifice themselves by corroding instead of the protected metal, thereby extending the lifespan of structures like ships, pipelines, and tanks.
Zinc Anode
Features and Benefits:
Effective in Seawater – Provides superior corrosion protection in marine environments.
Stable Performance – Consistent efficiency over long-term exposure.
Low Maintenance – Requires minimal replacement and monitoring.
Used for Ships, Pipelines, and Offshore Platforms – Protects submerged structures.
Applications:
Ship Hulls – Prevents hull corrosion from seawater exposure.
Oil & Gas Pipelines – Protects against electrochemical corrosion.
Harbor and Offshore Structures – Extends the lifespan of metal components in seawater.
Storage Tanks – Reduces corrosion in underground and submerged tanks.
ALUMUNIUM ANODE
Zinc anodes and aluminum anodes are sacrificial anodes used in cathodic protection systems to prevent metal corrosion in marine, offshore, and industrial applications. These anodes sacrifice themselves by corroding instead of the protected metal, thereby extending the lifespan of structures like ships, pipelines, and tanks.
Aluminium Anode
Features and Benefits:
Lightweight & High Efficiency – Provides better performance per unit weight.
Ideal for Brackish and Seawater – Functions well in various water conditions.
Eco-Friendly – Produces less waste compared to zinc anodes.
Longer Lifespan – More durable in specific environments.
Applications:
Marine Vessels & Structures – Used for ships, barges, and offshore platforms.
Heat Exchangers & Condensers – Prevents corrosion in industrial cooling systems.
Desalination Plants – Protects metal components in saltwater treatment facilities.
Subsea Pipelines – Ensures long-term protection in deep-sea operations.
