Better Tank Cathodic Protection

MATCOR’s article in Storage Terminals Magazine compares conventional grid anode systems to concentric ring linear anode systems for above-ground storage tank cathodic protection, explaining why premature grid system failures have caused excessive tank bottom corrosion and costly remediation.

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.

Have Extra 2019 Budget Monies?

MATCOR recommends using remaining 2019 cathodic protection budget funds to purchase materials—including Mitigator® AC mitigation wire, SPL™ linear anodes, Durammo® deep anode systems, and MMP™ canister anodes—before year-end for installation in early 2020.

MATCOR Ships Over a Half Million Feet of Linear Anodes to Africa

MATCOR shipped more than 500,000 linear feet of its SPL-FBR linear anode product for 153 above ground storage tanks at the Dangote refinery project in Lagos, Nigeria. MATCOR was selected for its rapid manufacturing capability and a no-field-splice anode design that reduces installation time and cost.

Tank Anode Systems for the Richest Man in Africa

MATCOR supplied tank anode systems for the $12 billion Dangote oil refinery project in Nigeria, which includes 153 above ground storage tanks on 6,180 acres outside Lagos. Engineer’s India Limited selected MATCOR’s impressed current linear anode technology as the design basis for tank bottom cathodic protection.

Anode Current Ratings and Soil Resistivity

Anode current ratings are based on expected service life in amp-hours, not soil resistivity, which only affects circuit resistance. This article explains anode life calculations for magnesium and mixed metal oxide anodes and clarifies the distinction between current rating and operating resistance.

Remediation Options for Aging Pipeline Coating Systems

As pipeline coating systems age and degrade, operators must evaluate remediation strategies to maintain pipeline integrity. This article examines two approaches—pipeline recoating and linear anode installation—as alternatives for managing aging pipelines with deteriorating external coating systems.

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.

External Tank Bottom Cathodic Protection

External corrosion of above ground storage tank bottoms poses a significant risk to tank integrity and service life. This article covers impressed current cathodic protection for tank bottoms, including the concentric ring anode configuration as an alternative to the traditional grid system approach.
