SHIPS CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM

ZINC & ALUMINIUM HULL & TANK ANODES
Corrosion causes frictional drag on the ships hull which in turn leads to higher operating cost. A high quality
coating provides a smooth hull and together with a well-engineered cathodic protection system, helps to ensure
that the surface is maintained in good condition.
Sacrificial anode systems are commonly used for external
hull cathodic protection as they are virtually maintenance
free.
Anodes for the external hull are designed to protect local
areas and are evenly spread to ensure a good distribution
of current.
Anodes located in the stern area are normally spaced
closer together because turbulence in this area increases
oxygen content in the water making it more corrosive and hence a higher current density is required to provide
cathodic protection.
Cathodic protection of ships cargo and ballast tanks is effected using sacrificial anodes. Zinc and/or aluminium
anodes are used and the material selection depends on the
compatibility of the alloy with the service of the tank.
Aluminium anodes are acceptable in cargo/ballast tanks
provided they are not located at a height (in metres) greater
than 27/W where W is the total mass of anode and core (in
kg).
Zinc presents no spark hazard and thus zinc anodes are
commonly used throughout. Magnesium anodes present a
spark hazard and are not allowed, except as ribbon for descaling.
CP TECH produces GALVALUM
Specification 18001K.

aluminium anodes as well as zinc anodes conforming to US Military

GALVALUM is CP TECHs proprietary aluminiumzinc-indium alloy and has been long-term tested by Det
Norske Veritas (DNV) and obtained its Type Approval
Certificate, complying with DNV's recommended
practice B401 and NORSOK Standard M-503 Cathodic
Protection Long-Term Testing. It has a high driving
voltage and capacity, allowing high current output and
reduced weight from anodes in all applications.

CP TECH operates from modern purpose built plants

and offices in Singapore and Malaysia. The companys
head office is in Singapore and is located together with
the manufacturing plant on a 4,400m site at Tuas,
Singapore's major industrial area and has a built up
area of 1,500m. In Malaysia, the facility is located in
the Senai Industrial Estate, Johor, about half an hour
drive from Singapore and has a land area of 4,000m
and built up area of 2,500m. The combined annual
capacity of both the plants is in excess of 10,000MT of
zinc and aluminium anodes.
