Dış Akım Anotlar
Impressed current anode systems are cathodic protection components that operate using an external energy source and are used to protect metal structures from corrosion.
In these systems, the anodes are powered by a direct current source, and current is applied to the structure in a controlled manner to reverse the corrosion current flow.
As a result, pipelines, tanks and marine structures are actively protected and maintain their structural integrity for many years.
With 22 years of experience in energy and engineering, Edopec designs, manufactures and commissions high-performance impressed current anode systems suitable for different environmental conditions (soil, seawater, industrial liquids).
Function of External Current Anodes
In cathodic protection systems, external current anodes prevent corrosion by directing electricity from a direct current source to the structure.
This stops the loss of electrons on the metal surface and maintains the structure at the protection potential level.
Main functions:
- Eliminate the risk of corrosion in metal structures
- Provide long-term protection by balancing the potential difference
- Ensure controlled distribution of current in the cathodic protection system
- Offer energy efficiency and ease of maintenance
Edopec external current anodes are specially designed for both underground and marine environment applications and operate with high efficiency.
Edopec Engineering Approach
Edopec performs detailed engineering analyses for cathodic protection systems:
The anode type, material composition and current density are determined by considering soil resistance, fluid properties, the surface area of the metal structure and environmental conditions.
