Aluminum Based Anti Corrosion Aluminum Anode For MGPS System

Product Specification

 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
