Aluminum-Based Anti-Corrosion Aluminum Anode for MGPS System
Ship anti-fouling and corrosion control anode
During operation, our aluminum anti-corrosion anodes produce
aluminum oxide, forming a gel-like "floc" that is carried by the
water flow throughout the seawater piping system. The formed
aluminum hydroxide colloid can form an anti-corrosion film layer on
the inner surface of the seawater cooling pipeline, keeping the
corrosion rate below 0.03 mm/year. When anti-corrosion anodes are
installed, corrosion rates are significantly reduced, extending the
life of pipes and any other equipment connected to the seawater
system.
Our anti-corrosion anodes are suitable for use on a variety of
vessels, including luxury yachts and yachts. They have been
installed on sea tanks, filters, treatment tanks, box coolers, etc.
The size of the anode (diameter and length) determines the vessel's
schedule based on seawater flow rate (water inlet debit), design
life, and maintenance or dry-docking considerations. Standard sizes
range from 50mm to 150mm in diameter and 100mm to 2,000mm in
length.
What is Marine Growth?
Ships are dependent on the seawater upon which they travel for a
variety of reasons. One primarily function seawater serves is to
cool the engine and parts of the ship while it’s operating. The
used seawater is then discharge back into the sea and new seawater
taken in, forming a continuous flow of exchange of saline water
between the ship and its surrounding aqueous environment. Despite
its benefits, the downside of this is that seawater contains marine
organisms (both macro and micro), some visible to the naked eye
while most are not. As the seawater passes through the various
pipes and parts of the ship’s engine, marine organisms are
deposited along their surface. Over time, the deposit builds up,
reducing the efficiency of the ship’s engine and in severe cases,
choking the entire system of the ship’s engine which could
eventually lead to malfunction of the entire ship’s engine.
MGPS, the solution.
Fortunately, the Marine Growth Prevention System (MGPS) was
conceptualised and created with the sole purpose of defeating
Marine Growth right at its very root, preventing even the most
minute trace of marine organism from depositing itself along the
ship’s interior altogether.
The system consists of a CONTROL UNIT which supplies impressed
current to Anodes. The COPPER anode produces ions, which are
carried away by the sea water into the piping and machinery system.
Concentration of copper in the solution is less then 2 parts per
billion but enough to prevent marine life from settling Basic
principle on which MGPS runs is electrolysis. The process involves
usage of Copper, Aluminum and Ferrous Anodes.
The ions, spread over the system and produce a anti fouling and
anti corrosive film over the Sea Water Pipelines, Intercoolers,
Condensors, Heat Exchangers, Valves, Refrigeration Systems , Box
Coolers and AC units internally. Increasing seawater circulation
and eliminating corrosion in the pipelines, increasing its duration
and efficiency. That means energy savings
