Horizontal Directional Drilling for a Middle East Tank Retrofit

A Tanks & Terminals article details a Middle East ethylene storage tank cathodic protection retrofit where MATCOR’s horizontal directional drilling approach—installing linear anodes directly beneath the tank—succeeded after a conventional perimeter anode system failed to provide adequate current distribution across…

Rethink Your Shallow Horizontal Anode Bed Design – The Case For Linear Anodes

Continuous linear anodes offer significant advantages over conventional multi-anode shallow horizontal anode beds, including factory-assembled reliability, fewer field splice connections, compatibility with horizontal directional drilling installation, and lower overall installed cost per amp-year for mixed metal…

Replaceable Anode System Success: A First for Critical Middle East Tank Assets

MATCOR completed the first horizontal directional drilling tank cathodic protection installation in the Middle East, deploying a replaceable linear anode system beneath a critical ethylene storage tank at Equate Petrochemicals in Kuwait after a perimeter anode approach failed to meet NACE criteria.

Zinc Ribbon Installation Projects

Two MATCOR AC mitigation projects highlight zinc ribbon installation capabilities in challenging environments. The first used horizontal directional drilling in a congested northwestern Ohio corridor, while the second employed specialized rock trenching equipment at a highly rocky site in West Texas.

Selecting the Correct Linear Anode for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Installation

Selecting the right linear anode for horizontal directional drilling requires consideration of bore hole conditions and anode pulling strength. As the only manufacturer of a linear anode designed for HDD, MATCOR outlines key variables that determine whether a standard or specialized anode is appropriate.
