CAPAC® Impressed Current Cathodic Protection

CAPAC is a permanent automatic corrosion protection system that prevents electrolysis and galvanic corrosion from attacking the submerged surfaces of vessels and fixed structures.

This high-tech system is the ultimate state-of-the-art, long-term solution to corrosion problems on hulls, and is recognized as a superior alternative to sacrificial anode systems — which require more frequent replacement and increased fuel and maintenance costs.

CAPAC works by supplying a controlled amount of DC current to submerged surfaces utilizing highly reliable platinum- or mixed metal oxide (MMO)- surfaced anodes and silver/silver chloride reference electrodes. This electrical current, constantly monitored and regulated by the system itself, stops the electro-chemical action of galvanic corrosion.

Features and Benefits

Features

  • Permanent
  • Effective
  • Light, Compact
  • Reliable, Simple
  • Inexpensive

Benefits

  • Equipment is designed for a life of 20 years. 
  • Automatic impressed current systems will provide the varying output demand to meet all operational and hull conditions encountered. 
  • Anodes are light in weight, strong and compact in construction, which contributes to easy shipping, storage and installation in the shipyard.
  • The automatic control equipment provides reliable, simple to operate, consistently trouble-free service, with continuous monitoring of the hull conditions.
  • Automatic control cathodic protection systems afford the optimum in corrosion prevention at minimum overall cost, since the initial installation is the only one required for the life of the vessel.
