Premium Aluminum Sacrificial Anodes
FOR OFFSHORE AND MARINE APPLICATIONS

Cathodic protection with aluminum anodes requires top-quality alloys. Deepwater MPE offers two aluminum alloys ( and MPE III); anodes are available in the following configurations:

PLATFORM ANODES
Platform anodes with large bulk trapezoidal cross sections.


PIPELINE BRACELETS
Bracelet anodes range from 3 inch to 48 inch diameter.



PIER/ PILING ANODES
Aluminum Pier and Piling anodes for all types of conditions.


HULL ANODES
Hull-bolted or welded anodes in standard sizes.
