CerAnode - Anode Systems, Tubular Anodes, Continuous Anode Technology, Transformer Rectifiers

CerAnode Technologies International manufactures a full line of Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) impressed current anodes for most every application within the Cathodic Protection (CP) industry.

CerAnode also manufactures Transformer Rectifiers (TR). CerAnode's TRs feature integrated remote monitoring and control, from the remote test post to the SCADA control room console.

In addition, CerAnode manufactures reference electrodes, coupon reference probes and other corrosion sensor technology. These products are used to measure and mitigate the corrosion of pipelines, AST bottoms, ships, locks and most any other underground or underwater metal structure.

ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK BOTTOM ANODE SYSTEMS USING CERANODE MMO

The CerAnode PiggyBack™ Tank (PBT) bottom anode system provides optimized cathodic protection for new tanks, existing tank bottom replacement or double bottom applications. It is ideal for situations where space is limited due to a close-proximity plastic secondary-containment liner.

The PBT consists of a series of concentric loops with optimized current distribution and redundancy that is unique. It is the ideal CP solution with a long anode life and easy installation.

The PBT arrives ready to position. No field connections are necessary.

CERANODE POWER ROD TUBULAR ANODES FOR DEEP ANODE BED SYSTEMS AND JETTIES

CerAnode's tubular anodes are specifically designed for deep anode beds including the rigorous demands of open hole applications. They are also an excellent choice for shallow beds, horizontal beds, marine, offshore, jetties and many other CP applications.

These anodes are distinctive with their unique arc-plasma sprayed surface architecture enhancement. This makes them the most abrasion resistant MMO anode available.

By means of a very special cable-to-anode connection, CerAnode has uniquely combined the features of this highly reliable anode with cable choices including fluoropolymer dual extruded cables such as Halar® (ECTFE) and Kynar® PVDF.

PIGGYBACK™ PIPELINE ANODE TECHNOLOGY: THE OPTIMIZED CONTINUOUS ANODE

The CerAnode continuous anode system utilizes the PiggyBack pipeline MMO anode system. This system is closely related to the CerAnode PiggyBack tank bottom anode that has been in operation by major oil companies since 1992.

These systems operate in close proximity to the cathode, providing optimized current distribution, low ground bed resistance and better than ever power efficiencies. Components of these systems have been used by CerAnode since the mid 1980s.

CUSTOMIZED MMO BULKHEAD AND PILE ANODES FOR COASTLINE APPLICATIONS

Marine and fresh water impressed current anodes can be tailored to suit most applications such as intake structures, piles, bulkheads, jetties, and lock and dam gates

Both light duty and heavy-duty anodes can be designed by our engineering staff and fabricated by our manufacturing facilities to meet the exact requirement. Anodes were designed specifically for the recently commissioned Jubail United Petrochemical Company in Saudi Arabia and the Canaveral Lock in Florida USA.

These styles feature the unique E-MMO (Enhanced-Mixed Metal Oxide), an abrasion resistant anode developed by CerAnode.

TRANSFORMER RECTIFIER WITH INTEGRATED REMOTE MONITORING AND SCADA CONTROL

CerAnode has developed an integrated CP control system that is second to none in scope and depth for CP monitoring and control. All links are covered under the supervisory control of a very powerful SCADA: from the sensors connected to the remote automatic test post technology, to the remote controlled transformer rectifier and onward to the master control station.

Data collected from corrosion sensors, reference electrodes and coupons are interfaced via special signal conditioners and relayed to the master station via a unique cost effective and efficient data transmission technology. It is fully scaleable to incorporate most other oilfield supervisory requirements.
