Cathodic corrosion protection

The rate of corrosion of a metal depends on the potential. For cathodic corrosion protection, anodes are used to conduct direct current into the protected object.
This moves the potential of the metal to a negative value, and thus protects the metal.
Innovative cathode materials have been developed for these techniques in recent years.

Where our cathodic corrosion protection
can be used:

• Deep bore wells
• Structural reinforcing steel
• Intake structures in hydro-electric power stations
• Clarification plants for cooling water
• Hydro-electric power station turbines
• Power station condensers
• Power station screen units
• Water tanks
• Pipework
• Travelling band screens

The benefits for you of cathodic
corrosion protection from eKS:

• Sea water constructions, hydro-electric power stations, etc.
  are more reliable and cheaper to maintain
• Corrosion problems in hydro-electric
  power station turbines caused by high-chloride media are prevented
• The potentials in critical connection points between C-steel
  and stainless steel are permanently monitored, for
  maximum safety
• Very low power consumption
• Individually adaptable to systems with
  differing conductivity
• Retrofitting also possible
• Problem-free for installation in potable water plants
• Prevention of galvanic corrosion (contact corrosion)
