Protecting steel structures requires customized solutions. Farwest is working on a port project where the solution is for us to build high output 'anode sleds'. The heavy concrete sled frame will support a large diameter platinum-niobium rod that will provide the needed CP current to protect the port structure.
At Farwest, we find the solution to resolve the problem.
Farwest Corrosion & Trenton
Team Up for So. CA Casing Fill Project
Farwest recently completed a casing fill project in only four hours. Trenton’s Fill-Coat™ #1 hot-installed casing filler system was delivered to the site in heated tankers. Approximately 5,700 gallons of Fill-Coat™ #1 and Pre-Con™ were pumped into a 424’ long casing with a 30” diameter carrier pipe.
We call this teamwork!
Weight & Length of Magnesium Anodes
Affect CP Life & Performance
Key Facts
Longer anodes produce more current than shorter anodes.
Doubling the diameter of the anode will increase the volume (weight) by a factor of 4 but only current output by approximately 15%.
Greater anode weight (volume) increases the anode or system life.
The surface area of the anode is not as important as some people believe.
High potential anodes will always generate more current than a standard potential anode given the same resistance-to-earth.
