Product catalog summary
Introduction
MGDUFF is a prominent UK company specializing in cathodic protection systems, offering over 400 types of anodes for diverse water conditions. With over fifty years of experience, the company has set standards in corrosion protection for ships and small crafts.
Commercial Marine
MGDUFF provides cathodic protection systems for yachts, boats, commercial shipping companies, and ship repair yards. Their services include dry dock surveys, ballast tank inspections, and quality audits.
Industrial and Civil Engineering
MGDUFF's systems are utilized in lock gates, marinas, jetties, and subsea renewable energy projects. They also design anode systems for onshore applications such as river generators and heat exchangers.
Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
MGDUFF manufactures sacrificial anodes in zinc, aluminum, and magnesium, adhering to international specifications and ISO 9001 standards. Their foundry in Chichester ensures quick lead times and high stock levels for next-day delivery across the UK.
Anode Specifications
  • Zinc Anodes: Manufactured to US Mil-A-18001K specifications, with a potential of -1.05 V and a capacity of 780 amp.hr/kg.
  • Aluminum Anodes: Follow AL-CHEM specifications, with a capacity of 2760 amp.hr/kg.
  • Magnesium Anodes: High purity with a potential of -1.5 V and a capacity of 1230 amp.hr/kg.
Ballast Tank Anodes
MGDUFF designs and supplies zinc and aluminum ballast tank anodes, offering full batch traceability and immediate dispatch from extensive stocks.
Magnesium Ribbon for Descaling
Used for rapid descaling of ballast tanks, magnesium ribbon offers a cost-effective solution, requiring minimal labor and equipment.
Shaft Earthing Systems
These systems meet BS Code of Practice CP.1021 and extend cathodic protection to ship propellers, reducing arcing effects and potential damage.
Bonding Systems
MGDUFF systems convert AC supply to controlled DC output for metal surface protection, with potential monitored by reference electrodes.
Specifications and Components
The document discusses the design and functionality of cathodic protection systems, focusing on MG Duff anodes and electrodes. These components are designed for high performance and low maintenance, utilizing advanced plastics technology and high-strength uPVC encapsulations to resist chemical attack and provide superior insulation.
Impressed Current Cathodic Protection Systems
These systems operate on a 440V/1PH/60HZ AC supply and involve a configuration of anodes and electrodes strategically placed on the hull. An automatic control unit adjusts the DC power supply to the anodes as needed.
Zinga Film Galvanising System
Zinga is a galvanising system that uses zinc particles in an aromatic liquid base to form a 96% zinc surface layer on steel substrates. It offers advantages over traditional galvanising methods, such as ease of application and cost-effectiveness. Zinga is approved to NORSOK Standard M-501 Revision 5 and is suitable for a wide range of industries.
Applications and Benefits
Zinga is used across various sectors, providing long-lasting protection, excellent adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to mechanical abrasion. It is suitable for both large and small areas, from bridges to small components.
