Sacrificial Anode
Sacrificial anodes are special metals that corrode preferentially to protect surrounding steel structures from rust. Zinc and magnesium anodes are ideal for concrete embedded applications, while zinc ribbon anodes are suited for tight spaces and underground pipes. Aluminum anodes are perfect for lightweight offshore structures.
Concrete Anode
TMP - Zinc anodes for Concrete embedded in a high-alkaline mortar (PH ≥ 14 ) provide superior corrosion protection for reinforcing steel in concrete. This system sacrifices the zinc to protect the steel, ensuring long-term rust resistance. Easy to install and certified to relevant standards (TIS 3029-2020, ISO 12696), our concrete anodes offer a reliable and safe solution to strengthen your concrete structures.
Impressed Current Anode
Impressed current anodes are used in cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion of metal structures. Two popular types are mixed metal oxide (MMO) and high silicon cast iron, each available in various forms to suit different environments.
MMO Anode (Mixed Metal Oxide Anode)
Mixed metal oxide (MMO) anodes are a popular choice for cathodic protection due to their low consumption rate, extended lifespans, and effectiveness in a variety of environments. They are commonly used in the form of tubular anodes, ideal for deep well applications, and mesh anodes, which are well-suited for seawater and brackish water. MMO anodes are dimensionally stable, meaning they retain their size and effectiveness throughout their service life.
Anode Coke Backfill
Backfill materials, like carbon or gypsum/bentonite, are used to enhance the performance and longevity of cathodic protection systems by influencing factors like resistivity, anode surface area, and moisture.
Coke Backfill
Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems use carbon backfill to reduce the resistivity of the surrounding environment, extend the surface area of the anode, and slow down the consumption of the anode itself. The backfill material is typically made from calcined petroleum coke or metallurgical coke, both being a byproduct of their respective industries. The most common composition of carbon backfill is 99.35% carbon, with minimal amounts of ash, moisture, sulfur, and volatile matter.
