Aluminum anodes have long been used in the fight against corrosion. In the oil and gas industry, aluminum anodes are widely used to protect against corrosion in a wide variety of steel structures such as oil-water separators, condensers, tanks and any other vessel where produced water is stored. Common installation methods include welding or bolting the anodes directly to the structure that is to be protected.
Our aluminum anodes are designed for optimum performance under a variety of environmental conditions and temperature ranges. Cast in different sizes and weights, our anodes provide maximum performance in seawater and brackish environments.
