MATCOR fabricated four custom sled anode assemblies weighing over three tons each for a Gulf Coast refinery expansion project in Beaumont, Texas. Each 75-amp assembly consists of mixed metal oxide-coated titanium tubular anodes mounted on concrete bases designed to protect marine piling structures.
protecting marine structures corrosion
MATCOR’s Ted Huck discusses impressed current cathodic protection for terminal marine structures—including docks, jetties, piers, seawalls, and sheet pilings—in the June 2021 issue of Tanks and Terminals. The article includes a case study from a Texas Gulf Coast facility protecting a combi-wall structure.

In low-temperature seawater environments, high localized chlorine concentrations around MMO anodes can affect current distribution and long-term coating wear rates. MATCOR offers a modified low-temperature MMO anode formulation that promotes oxygen generation over chlorine production to address these concerns in cold,…
This FAQ addresses common questions about MATCOR’s impressed current sled anode systems for marine structures, covering water conductivity effects on system design, comparisons with galvanic anodes, cable protection methods, marine wildlife considerations, and provisions for dredging operations.
Marie Anode Sled
MATCOR’s Sea-Bottom impressed current anode sleds protected a steel pile jetty in Indonesia, replacing a galvanic design that would have required 374 aluminum anodes. Six sled anodes were installed in three days, demonstrating a cost-effective alternative to galvanic cathodic protection for marine structures.
sea bottom weights web
MATCOR’s Sea-Bottom marine anode sleds protect cable connections inside high-density polyethylene pipe secured to the sea bottom with concrete weights, preventing damage from wave and tidal action. This article describes the protective housing design and field installation methods used on recent marine projects.

This case study compares impressed current and galvanic anode systems for cathodic protection of a steel pile jetty in Surabaya, Indonesia. Key factors including current density limits, driving voltage, anode consumption rates, and installation costs guide selection between titanium MMO and aluminum galvanic anodes.
