Impressed Current Cathodic Protection      

Raparound Anode™

Impressed Current Cathodic Protection for Jetties & Piers in
Harsh Conditions in conjunction with Deepwater Corrosion Inc.

Anode system with ultra-heavy duty support frame, impact absorbing composite
shield, and double steel wire armored supply cable designed to take abuse.

Raparound installed around a pier piling
in Cook Inlet, Alaska.
After two harsh winter freezes, the Raparound is still firmly in place.

 

Product Overview

The Raparound anode system has been designed with harsh environments in mind. From the ultra-heavy duty support frame to the impact absorbing composite dielectric shield and the double steel wire armored supply cable, this anode is designed to take abuse and continue working.

The design allows back-to-back installation to provide up to a 100 Ampere capacity anode for pile diameters between 12” and 48”. Pictured unit is single sided.

The triple coated MMO activated titanium anode rod provides superior resistance to abrasion, and the modular Delrin anode housing design affords excellent protection and long-term chlorine resistance to the oversized anode rod.

Originally designed for the Cook Inlet, Alaska, the Raparound has proven itself in extensive time trials, surviving in the rapid ice-laden currents and punishing winter freezes where no other anode system has come close. Deepwater is confident that the Raparound will survive any harsh environment where other anodes have not.

Applications

  • Any steel-piled marine structure.
  • Small offshore jacket structures

Main Benefits

  • Pile mounted anodes have historically suffered electromechanical problems. On the Raparound, all these deficiencies have been engineered out.
  • Hinged one-piece diver-friendly design means that installation is safe and easy.
  • The two-layer dielectric shield (elastomeric outer shield with thermo-plastic inner shield) provides impact resistance against ice or other floating debris.
  • The center-connected anode rod provides excellent long term reliability (it is the same technology as used on the RetroBuoy™ high capacity ICCP systems).

environment anode assembly.

The structure as a whole after harsh winter freezes:
not one anode performance failure.
