STANDARD ANODE TYPES, DIMENSIONS AND OUTPUTS
Available in two standard sizes, with two standard current ratings. Other sizes and rating are available upon request. MMO Wire Anode consists of solid titanium wire which meets ASTM B348 Grade 1 or 2 standards, that has been coated with Mixed Metal Oxide.
PIGGYBACK WIRE ANODE SYSTEMS
For use on pipelines, the product comprises Mixed Metal Oxide Wire Anode material “piggybacked” to a cable at predetermined intervals (to aid current distribution and attenuation). The wire and cable is contained within a cotton sock filled with calcined petroleum coke breeze backfill. The Piggyback Sock Anode is placed alongside the pipeline with suitable lengths of cable at each end of the loop allowed for termination into a junction box.

APPLICATION
Plain graphite anodes are used in dry soil conditions installed in groundbeds containing compacted carbonaceous backfill. Linseed oil impregnated anodes can be used in moist saline soils, in fresh and brackish water, and for seawater applications. Graphite anodes can be installed as horizontal or deepwell groundbeds to protect buried pipelines or due to their lightweight nature they can be suspended into the electrolyte to protect water tank internal surfaces or marine structures.
Cathodic Protection Co Ltd graphite anodes are manufactured in two standard sizes - 3” dia up to 60” long & 4” dia up to 80” long. There are two types of graphite anodes - plain & linseed oil impregnated. Plain graphite anodes are used for ordinary soil conditions and linseed oil impregnated anodes are usually used for saline soil or seawater environments.

REVISION 1
APPLICATION
• Underwater steel structures - Wharves, jetties, sheet pile walls and piers. Usually rod type anodes distributed throughout the structure to be protected to give a good overall protective current distribution. Anodes should be
installed in areas not liable to cause Anode damage i.e. out of the way of berthing vessels, mooring ropes, chains etc. • Exterior protection of ships hulls - anodes in the shape of plates, discs or strips. Housed in chlorine resistant plastic as
the anode operates at high current densities in seawater which produces chlorine.
• Water tank internal protection - usually distributed rod anodes are used for this type of installation by suspending from the tank roof.
• Internal protection of plant - large diameter water pipelines such as cooling water can be protected using rod or wire shaped anodes.
PLATINISED TITANIUM ANODE DATA
Platinised Titanium anodes are manufactured from a commercially pure titanium substrate plated with a very thin coating of platinum. The titanium serves simply as the anode body and the conductor, the active anode element being the
platinum coating.
The usual thickness of the platinum coating is approximately 2.5 microns, however, this coating thickness should be increased to 5.0 microns for harsher environments. The base metal is available in a wide variety of standard shapes -rods, tubes, mesh, etc - which can be fabricated into non-metallic mounts for attachment to the structure to be cathodically protected.
The thickness of the platinum coating and the current density at which the anode is operated determine the useful life of the anode. The maximum voltage at the anode to electrolyte interface should not exceed 8 Volts in electrolytes containing chloride as voltages greater than this value could cause local corrosion on any unplatinised portions of the anode.

CURRENT DENSITY AND CONSUMPTION RATES
FEATURES
• Anodes can work at high current densities without decomposition or dissolving. • Favourable strength to weight ratio.
• Anodes can be smaller and more compact than comparable conventional anodes. • Can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
• Lightweight support tube installation for Pt Ti anode installation.

The products have been developed to satisfy the most arduous environmental conditions, giving safe operational reliability with minimal maintenance at competitive price levels.
Two main types of transformer rectifiers are available ie: Air Cooled and Oil Cooled, the selection of which may be specification derived or personal choice. The final selection invariably being the environmental conditions and relative to output rating, these will determine the physical size and cost of the unit. Our engineers are able to assist you with this selection.

Bullhorn i-series ICP Information
American Innovations’ Bullhorn® i-series ICP is a satellitebased remote monitoring device that provides scheduled and by exception inbound reporting as well as two-way communication for on-demand reads and
activating/deactivating ancillary equipment. The device can be field upgraded to include a MicroMax ® GPS80 current
interrupter enabling the collection of IR-free cathodic
protection (CP) reads in the most efficient, economical way possible. The ICP uses the OrbComm satellite system and enables equipment monitoring and control in very remote locations. It is ideal for international use.
The ICP monitors many different kinds of equipment in the cathodic protection industry including rectifiers, test points and critical bonds. It is also ideal for monitoring equipment in a number of other industries. The ICP provides automatic notifications of alarm events via email, cell phone or pager. With secure access, data can be viewed on the internet from anywhere in the world, day or night.
The ICP unit is available in 2 and 4 analog channel versions. The 5th analog channel is used internally when a MicroMax is utilized and is not available for other purposes. Both versions have 6 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs. For CP applications, analog inputs are available with filtering and surge protection. The ICP is easy to install since all
configuration of the device takes place via the satellite system, so there is no need for a laptop computer in the field. It accepts customer supplied AC or DC line power or DC solar power. In the event of power loss, an internal
rechargeable battery provides backup power.

APPLICATION
HALAR/HMWPE cable is designed for anode lead wires in a wide range of environments. Due to its dual insulation construction, it can be installed directly in native soils or submerged in fresh, brackish, or salt waters. The cable is ideal for deep anode bed installations where chlorine and hydrogen gases are generated. The HALAR insulation will not embrittle at temperatures down to (-80F) and will maintain dimensional stability and dielectric strength at temperatures up to 250F. It is highly resistant to notch propagation.
One of the major causes of deep anode failures is the failure of cable insulation. This is especially evident in areas where brackish water is present in the ground. In this environment, anodes generate reactive gases such as chlorine and nacent oxygen. These gases cause rapid deterioration of conventional HMWPE insulation.
Cathodic protection cable insulated with HALAR fluoropolymer, is especially suited for deep anode lead wires. HALAR fluoropolymer is inert to reactive compounds and has an outstanding ability to prevent the passage of gases. Laboratory and field evaluations indicate that HALAR fluoropolymer insulated lead wire can extend the life of deep anode
installations. The cable is composed of stranded copper wire covered by two layers of insulation. The outer insulation layer is made from high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE). It exhibits superior dielectric and tensile strength, and provides mechanical protection to the cable.
The material is also resistant to water intrusion and is not affected by most organic or inorganic substances. The inner or primary insulation is composed of HALAR, a fluoropolymer. This insulating material demonstrates exceptional chemical resistance. In the presence of chlorine, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or other strong oxidizing agents the material remains stable. Further, it will not deteriorate when exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons which are encountered in numerous cathodic protection applications.
The dual extrusion HALAR cable is made specifically for cathodic protection applications. It can withstand considerable abuse during installation.
