Industry-Standard CAPAC ® Systems: Permanent Corrosion Protection

CAPAC ® ICCP systems consistently provide automatic, long-lasting protection against electrolysis and galvanic corrosion for various sea-going vessels and offshore structures. In comparison to sacrificial anode systems, these systems offer not only reliable corrosion prevention but also long-term cost savings.

Key Components of CAPAC® Systems

The CAPAC® system primarily includes three core components: Controllers, Anodes, and Electrodes, supported by a power supply. These elements work together to deliver superior corrosion protection for ships and offshore platforms.

Benefits of CAPAC® Systems

• Global Leadership: With over 3,000 systems installed worldwide, CAPAC® is widely recognized and approved by all major classification societies for all vessel types.
• Extended Lifespan: Furthermore, the systems are designed to offer a service life exceeding 20 years.
• Simple Operation: Automatic control ensures reliable protection. Compact anodes make shipping and installation easy.
• Increased Lifespan of Components: Rudders, propellers, shafts, and fittings enjoy longer lifespans due to precise control of corrosion protection.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Increased drydock intervals and reduced fuel costs through effective corrosion management.
• Trusted by Navies Worldwide: Supplying naval forces for over 50 years.

What is Cathodic Protection?

Cathodic protection, particularly impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP), uses DC current to shield submerged surfaces from corrosion.  As a result, it provides continuous, automatic protection, reducing the effects of electrolysis and galvanic corrosion significantly in both mobile and fixed offshore structures.

How ICCP Works

ICCP systems deliver a regulated DC current to submerged surfaces, effectively using zinc electrodes and metal oxide anodes. This system halts the electrochemical process of corrosion before damage occurs, making it a preferred solution for vessels such as LNG carriers, oil tankers, and cruise ships.

Advantages of Evoqua ICCP Systems

• Extended Component Life: Protects shafts, rudders, and other parts from electrolysis.
• Compact Design: Anodes are both lightweight and compact, making storage, shipping and installation simple.
• Reliable Protection: Automatic controls maintain consistent protection, adjusting for salinity and paint loss better than zinc anodes.
• Reduced Costs: Fewer drydocks and lower fuel consumption mean long-term savings.
• Longevity: Designed to last over 20 years with a single installation.

Ultimately, CAPAC® systems offer a proven, effective solution for preventing corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability, cost efficiency, and enhanced protection for vessels and offshore structures.
