ICCP Hull Corrosion Protection Seawater Pipework Anti-fouling

Protection against marine growth in pipework Blockages in seawater pipework systems can be time consuming and expensive to remove. With an exceptionally wide range of control panels and anodes, the Cathelco system gives complete and continuous protection to yachts of any size. The investment in the system is rapidly recovered through savings in maintenance costs. Beyond this, there is the reassurance that your yacht is reliably protected, now and into the future. As world leaders in electrolytic antifouling systems, Cathelco can provide expert advice concerning your specific installation...

Micro & Mini Systems The Micro system eliminates blockages in seawater engine cooling systems caused by barnacles and mussels and has been designed for larger luxury yachts with a number of seawater inlets. Nano anode (2755) Systems can be supplied solely for anti-fouling or as dual purpose units combining anti-fouling and corrosion suppression features. Pico anode (3355) Prevents pipework bio-fouling by barnacles and mussels. ■■ Suppresses corrosion in pipework (in dual purpose systems). ■■ Requires minimum attention from crew. ■■ Easy and economical to install at newbuilding or retrofit....

Hull corrosion protection Cathelco provide reliable and technologically advanced solutions to problems of hull corrosion using impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems. With lightweight, flush mounted anodes, the systems achieve optimum efficiency without detracting from the smooth lines of the craft – minimising drag and safeguarding the overall appearance. The Minitek system has been specifically designed to protect steel hulls, whilst Alutek incorporates special controlling and monitoring electrodes to provide precisely controlled corrosion protection for aluminium hulls at...

Alutek – for aluminium hulls Aluminium is generally regarded as a stable material which does not corrode easily. However, when used in conjunction with other metals such as bronze propellers and steel components, serious problems of hull corrosion can arise. The Alutek system uses the latest technology to eliminate corrosion on aluminium hulls. Unlike traditional sacrificial anode systems, it utilises flush mounted, lightweight anodes and advanced monitoring systems to provide the optimum level of protection. So there is nothing to detract from the smooth lines of your yacht or reduce its...

Portable Corrosion Monitoring System How can you be sure that your vessel’s cathodic protection system is working properly? Whether you have a sacrificial anode or an impressed current system it is important to know whether it is functioning effectively to prevent hull corrosion. The Cathelco Portable Corrosion Monitoring System is an essential piece of equipment for ship’s crew. It provides a means of testing the electrical activity in seawater surrounding the hull (which causes corrosion) and a way of measuring it against a recommended standard. Inadvertent connections to an unisolated...

Galvanic Isolators Galvanic isolators are used to ensure that there is separation between the grounding of a shore power supply and the yacht’s electrical grounding. This provides the following benefits:Eliminates corrosion problems caused by the difference between the potential of the yacht and the shore ground. ■■ Corrosion currents cannot travel between yachts which are tied to the same shore ground. ■■ Prevents the risk of corrosion in key components of the propulsion system. Even relatively small levels of corrosion can seriously damage important propulsion components. ■■ Rated for...
