vessels.
Anotection® is an efficient and cost-effective electrochemical
corrosion prevention technique requiring only minor
modifications to existing vessels. An automatic controlled
rectifier passes an electrical current between the vessel
surface and an immersed cathode, forming a protective passive Features & Benefits

Remote Monitoring capability is built into every unit, and

available on a subscription basis. A Corrosion Assistant
analyzes operating data via wired or wireless communication
technology and advises if protection levels are met or
adjustments are needed. There is no intrusion necessary into
the company's business or IT network.
 System Implementation
Since the early 1960's, Corrosion Service
has maintained an on-going interest in and
commitment to each installed system. This
long term commitment provides valuable
insight to performance which is incorporated
into subsequent system refinements.
Hastelloy
Cathode Corrosion Service has extensive experience
with projects of this nature, having engineered
and supplied hundreds of Anodic Protection
Reference systems worldwide. We would be pleased
