cathodic protection
Corrpro europe marine services
Cathodic Protection is mainly aimed at metallic hull vessels.
VISION ABC is the agent for French market only, of British company Corrpro.
Corrpro has led the world in the field of corrosion protection for seagoing vessels and anti-fouling solutions for ships’ internal pipework for over 45 years. Corrpro has supplied CP materials, installations and services to over 1,500 vessels worldwide.
Each system is designed to suit the particular requirements of the vessel and its operating environment, which allow for the fluctuations in protection current demand likely to be encountered during service.
Providing corrosion protection solutions utilising :
Sacrificial Anodes
Aloline® and Zincoline® hull and tank anodes are supplied worldwide, utilising the principle of sacrificial galvanic cathodic protection first pioneered in the 1800s by Sir Humphry Davy. Aluminium and zinc anodes protect steel hulls, tanks and other submerged metallic structures and are cast at our foundry in Stockton on Tees (England).
Aquamatic® impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems
The Aquamatic® system comprises several anodes, reference electrodes and a transformer rectifier/controller power unit. The types and sizes of these components and their positions on the hull are specified according to design parameters which allow for the size of the vessel and fluctuations in the protection current likely to be encountered during sea-going service. Although the reliability of the Aquamatic® system is well proven, we recommend that installations are serviced on a routine basis during dry docking by our trained personnel. Stocks of Aquamatic® components are maintained in all Corrpro offices to ensure delivery at short notice when required.
Anfomatic ® antifouling systems
The Anfomatic® system applies direct current to copper anode(s) releasing a controlled quantity of copper ions into the system to create an environment in which primary forms of marine life do not grow. Current applied to the aluminium anode releases a ‘floc’, a precipitate of aluminium hydroxide. The aluminium oxidation products reduce corrosion rates on ferrous components in the seawater system by modifying the ferrous oxides and by film deposition. Similarly, iron anodes are utilized for cupro-nikel pipework. The Anfomatic® system requires minimal maintenance and is environmentally friendly. Mussels are not killed by the systems: the environment it creates prevents them settling or developing. A further benefit on the Anfomatic® system is that potable water distillation of plants can be operated without interruption.
Antifouling and ICCP Systems Inspection and Monitoring
The worldwide nature of Corrpro’s operation means that Aquamatic® and Anfomatic® systems can be designed and fitted to vessels wherever in the world dry docking is available. Whilst installation is a straight forward procedure, Corrpro staff are always on hand to provide specialized advice and to assist with commissioning.
