Three Ton Sled Anode Assemblies Head to Beaumont, Texas

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.

Coke Column Guidelines for Deep Anode Systems

Intermittent or failed current output from a deep anode system can result from gas accumulation in an undersized coke column. This article examines the importance of proper coke column sizing and the recommended 150 mA/ft² maximum current density at the coke-to-earth interface for reliable performance.
MATCOR hiring corrosion technicians

Private: Training the Next Generation of Corrosion Technicians

A shortage of cathodic protection technicians has developed due to an aging workforce, underrecruitment, and growing regulatory demands under the PHMSA Mega Rule. MATCOR is actively hiring entry-level CP technicians and provides hands-on training and long-term career opportunities in the corrosion industry.
cathodic protection budget, deep anode system budget

Stretching your Deep Anode System Budget

MATCOR’s Durammo® Deep Anode System delivers installed cost savings of up to 23% compared to conventional high silicon cast iron or graphite anode systems, based on competitive bid comparisons. Lower materials and installation labor costs make Durammo a budget-friendly CP alternative.
MATCOR Reviews

MATCOR Reviews

Customer testimonials highlight the professionalism and safety focus of MATCOR’s construction crews. An Energy Transfer corrosion supervisor praised a MATCOR team for their daily safety meetings, clean job site, and customer-oriented approach on a recent cathodic protection installation project.
Filling the Oil and Gas Industry Labor Shortage

Filling the Oil and Gas Industry Labor Gap

Labor shortages in the oil and gas industry stem from boom-and-bust cycles, an aging workforce, and increased regulatory scrutiny under the PHMSA Mega Rule. MATCOR offers cathodic protection technicians for short-, medium-, or long-term engagements to help operators maintain compliance.
AC Corrosion Mitigation Criteria Presentation

The Impact of AC Corrosion Mitigation Criteria on the Design and Operation of Cathodic Protection Systems

NACE standard SP21424-2018 introduces DC current density as a key parameter in AC corrosion mitigation criteria, changing how cathodic protection systems must be designed, monitored, and controlled. MATCOR’s Ted Huck addressed these implications at the 2021 CORCON virtual conference.

Corrosion Control for Water Treatment Facilities

Wastewater treatment facilities face corrosion challenges across tanks, vessels, and process equipment. Four primary mitigation strategies—material selection, coatings, chemical treatment, and cathodic protection—each play a distinct role in protecting the carbon steel structures common in water treatment operations.

Linear Anodes for Hard-to-Reach Places [Rusty Talks]

Linear anodes installed parallel to aging pipelines in rural Kansas resolved cathodic protection gaps that remote impressed current systems could not address. An Energy Transfer case study shows how proper power feed cable design is essential for achieving even current distribution with linear anode systems.

MATCOR Featured in Tanks and Terminals

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.
