Aluminum Anodes

Aluminum Anodes

Enkor Aluminum Anodes are a widely used solution in cathodic protection systems, particularly favored in environments with high conductivity, such as seawater. Aluminum stands out as an economical and efficient option due to its low density and high energy capacity. Our aluminum anodes provide high protection efficiency, safeguarding large surface areas from corrosion.

Applications:

  • Marine Vessels: Ideal for protecting the hulls of ships, yachts, and platforms.
  • Buoys and Storage Tanks: Effective for above-ground and underground storage tanks that come into contact with seawater.
  • Pipelines and Coastal Structures: Suitable for pipelines situated in or near seawater, as well as docks, piers, port structures, and other coastal infrastructure.
  • Miscellaneous Marine Equipment: Protects various metal structures exposed to marine environments, ensuring their longevity and reliability.

Key Features and Benefits:

  1. High Energy Capacity: Offers superior protection by delivering high energy capacity, extending the lifespan of protected structures.
  2. Cost-Effective: Aluminum anodes are an economical choice, providing extensive protection without compromising on quality.
  3. Wide Coverage: Capable of protecting large surface areas, ensuring comprehensive corrosion prevention.

Standards Compliance:

Enkor Aluminum Anodes are manufactured and applied in accordance with national standards such as TS 9234 and TS 13174, as well as relevant international standards. These standards specify the dimensions, chemical composition, and electrochemical properties of the anodes, ensuring high performance and reliability. When produced to these standards, aluminum anodes offer effective and long-lasting protection against corrosion, enhancing the efficiency and durability of the systems they protect.
