Sub-Bottom CP for Wind Turbines & Shallow Water
in conjunction with Deepwater Corrosion Inc.

Product Overview

The VSE (Vaulted Seawater Envelope) anode is designed to provide reliable long-term cathodic protection in shallow water locations where the anode system must be buried below natural bottom.

The anode design maintains the MMO activated element in a silt-free seawater envelope, and current is discharged from the anode footprint. This allows optimization of current rating versus dimension, thus minimizing installation cost, and increasing reliability.

The anode structure is engineered to self-bury, and the ultra rugged construction will withstand suction dredging or bottom trawl operations. This makes the VSE ideal for retrofit, as well as for new construction, when shallow water structures are at stake.

Designed for the offshore wind energy operators, VSE offers an elegant green impressed current solution, utilizing renewable energy.

Applications

• Offshore wind-turbines
• Shallow water offshore / inshore structures
• Docks, wharves, piers and jetties
• Offshore pipelines
• Outfalls and other inshore structures

Main Benefits

• Reliable operation of impressed current in saline mud / sand burial situations.
• Will work in seawater, river, or brackish water.
• Simplified installation.
• Can be installed under scour protection (rip rap) without fear of damage.
• Optimized low resistance vs. dimension for a buried anode system.
