electrical current transfer is accomplished through the
mixed metal oxide coating. The coating is immune to

the anode.

Corrpro wire anodes can be used in numerous


geometries. In water storage tanks, the anode is often
suspended by rope in configurations that follow the
circumference of the structure. This design permits
even current distribution. It also produces a cathodic
protection system that is not susceptible to damage
from icing. Because the anode is a continuous wire,
failures due to poor wire connections are eliminated.

Applications
Corrpro mixed metal oxide anodes can be used in both
aqueous and soil electrolytes. They deliver superior

current anode for shallow vertical and
horizontal surface groundbeds, as well as wet, marshy
soil conditions where caving is likely to occur.

Anode Construction — The primary anode element in a


LIDA Pack is a mixed metal oxide wire anode.
The wire anode is comprised of a precious metal
oxide coating applied to a copper cored titanium wire.
The oxide coating is completely stable and does not
corrode, as is the case with traditional massive type
anodes, such as silicon iron, graphite, or even platinum.

The stable anode element passes current to a highly


conductive calcined petroleum coke backfill.
The backfill is well compacted inside a galvanized steel
canister. To allow moisture to quickly migrate to the
coke backfill for increased electrical conductivity, the
wire anode element is electrically connected to the steel
canister — thereby accelerating the canister corrosion
rate once the anode has been installed and energized.

De Nora LIDA® One Anodes

The “Single Anode” Concept from De Nora — one


anode, one cable — It’s that simple.

The LIDA One anodes are the newest in the family


of mixed metal oxide anode products specifically
tailored to the cathodic protection of buried structures.
Designed for installations where a single anode on a
string is preferred for groundbeds with widely varying
soil resistivities, the mixed metal oxide coating is
specially formulated for use in carbonaceous backfill.

Anodes and Accessories


LIDA One is a 1” diameter titanium tube with a precious
mixed metal oxide coating. This mixed metal oxide is a
crystalline, electrically conductive coating that activates
the titanium and enables it to function as an anode.
When applied on titanium, the coating has an extremely
low consumption rate, measured in terms of milligrams
per year. As a result of this low consumption rate, the
tubular dimensions remain nearly constant during the
design life of the anode — providing a consistently low
resistance anode.

By increasing the length of our tubular anode, yet


reducing total current output, De Nora has created
another reliable mixed metal oxide anode product
line with even greater cost savings over competitive
anode technologies. As with all of De Nora mixed metal
oxide tubular anodes, the combination of a tough and
lightweight product, its ease of handling and installation,
the superior mechanical connection, and our five year,
no hassle warranty, makes LIDA One the ONE anode
for unparalleled Cathodic Protection performance.

Thermal sprayed galvanic anode for cathodic


protection of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete
structures
Under a Federal Highway Administration research
contract, Corrpro has developed an alumimum alloy
for use as a galvanic anode for cathodic protection of
reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures. The
anode consists of an Aluminum-Zinc-Indium Al-Zn-In
wire, which is thermally sprayed onto concrete using
electric arc spray equipment. Testing indicates that the
anode remains active in drier, less humid conditions.

Anodes and Accessories


The anode is produced using cored wire technology.
Connection is made to the reinforcing steel using a
perforated aluminum connector plate. Since the alloy
is a galvanic or sacrificial anode, no external power
supply is required.

Anode Design Tips

 When designing deep anode CP systems, limit the current density on the outside of the coke column to
a maximum of 150 mA/ft2.

 A survey of eight major energy companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico indicated the use of 97%
to 99% coating efficiency for cathodic protection designs on FBE coated pipe over a life from 20 to 40
years.

 For AWWA C-301 embedded cylinder, prestressed concrete cylinder pipe PCCP, AWWA C-301
Anodes and Accessories

lined cylinder PCCP, and AWWA C-303 pretensioned concrete cylinder pipe, 100 mV of polarization
is achieved with a cathodic protection current density of 100 microamps per square foot of outside
diameter pipe surface area in most soils.

 When designing Grid systems for under above ground tanks that are to be operated at high
temperature, specify that the power feeds be provided with Teflon FEP insulation and the power feed
connection be sealed with Teflon PTFE heat shrink tubing. The cable insulation is rated for maximum
continuous service at 205° C and the heat shrink tubing at 250° C.

 When designing corrosion protection systems, always include provisions for corrosion monitoring such
as corrosion probes, coupons and Permacells.

 When using a cathodic protection criteria which results in a polarized potential less negative than -850
mV CSE, recognize that under certain conditions, pipelines experience high pH SCC in the potential
range of -650 mV to -750 mV CSE.

 For calculating the resistance-to-earth water for slab or bracelet anodes, use McCoys equation:

R = 0.135 P
√A

where, R = resistance ohms


1-866-267-7776

P = resistivity ohm-cm

Electrical Safety

Electrical hazards can cause burns, shocks and electrocution (death).

Safety Tips
Assume that all overhead wires are energized at lethal voltages. Never assume that a wire is
safe to touch even if it is down or appears to be insulated.

Backfill and Accessories


Never touch a fallen overhead power line. Call the electric utility company to report fallen
electrical lines.
Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from overhead wires during cleanup and other activities. If
working at heights or handling long objects, survey the area before starting work for the
presence of overhead wires.
If an overhead wire falls across your vehicle while you are driving, stay inside the vehicle and
continue to drive away from the line. If the engine stalls, do not leave your vehicle. Warn people
not to touch the vehicle or the wire. Call or ask someone to call the local electric utility
company and emergency services.
Never operate electrical equipment while you are standing in water.
Never repair electrical cords or equipment unless qualified and authorized.
Have a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment that has gotten wet before energizing it.
If working in damp locations, inspect electric cords and equipment to ensure that they are in
good condition and free of defects, and use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Always use caution when working near electricity.

Loresco PermaPlug Environmental Earth Seal

PermaPlug has been designed especially for the


cathodic protection industry. PermaPlug provides the
cathodic protection industry with a method to plug
and seal earth holes. PermaPlug is environmentally
safe and when properly installed, prevents the
contamination of underground aquifers from surface
fluids.

PermaPlug produces a permanent non-porous


molding-clay seal. Manufactured from naturally
occurring Bentonite, PermaPlug contains no
Backfill and Accessories

additional chemicals. Installation is easy requiring no


tools or pumps. Simply open the bag and pour.

PermaPlug prevents the deterioration of


underground water quality and is environmentally
accepted for use in the vicinity of potable drinking
water.

PermaPlug requires minimum instruction for proper


application. PermaPlug is inexpensive, easy-to-
install, requires no special tools, and...it works!

Application Data:
Condition the earth hole area to be sealed by
flushing with clean water or by allowing any drilling
fluids to sufficiently thin by overnight settling.
The fluid within the earth hole should allow the
PermaPlug particles to sink readily. When installing
PermaPlug above carbon backfill, ensure complete
backfill settling before beginning PermaPlug
installation. Pour PermaPlug slowly into earth.
Install one 50 lb. bags of PermaPlug every 3 to 4
minutes until the desired level is obtained.
1-866-267-7776

Once in place, PermaPlug will expand to seal


the earth hole. PermaPlug is shipped on stretch
wrapped pallets. Each pallet contains 3,500 lbs of
PermaPlug. Material should not be handled roughly
before installation as fracturing of particles will occur.
PermaPlug is shipped in water-resistant bags but
must be stored out of the weather due to moisture
sensitivity.
