News from MATCOR February 2025
Corrosion remains a critical challenge for plant piping and aging pipeline infrastructure, especially as coatings deteriorate over time.
In this issue, we’re sharing insights into how linear anodes can protect plants and poorly coated pipelines, as well as a real-world CP upgrade case study.

Linear Anodes: A Durable Solution for Corrosion Prevention
Linear anodes play a crucial role in impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems, preventing corrosion on pipelines, tanks, and other buried or submerged structures. Designed for efficiency and durability, MATCOR’s linear anodes deliver reliable performance in the most challenging environments.
Three Approaches to Cathodic Protection of Buried Pipelines in New Plant Construction
Protecting underground piping in new plant construction requires the right CP strategy. This article explores three approaches to cathodic protection of buried pipelines in new plant construction and highlights how linear anodes provide superior protection for plant infrastructure.
Addressing Aging Pipeline Coating Threats
When coatings deteriorate, pipelines become more vulnerable to corrosion. In a World Pipelines article, MATCOR’s Ted Huck introduces linear anodes as a cost-effective alternative to recoating aging pipelines—reducing costs and extending asset life.
SPL-FBR Linear Anode: Engineered for Tough Environments
The SPL-FBR linear anode is ideal for pipeline cathodic protection in congested areas and beneath above-ground storage tanks. It’s flexible, available in various lengths, and designed with MATCOR’s Kynex® waterproof connections for maximum durability.
Pipeline Recoating & CP Upgrade [Case Study]
A major turnkey pipeline recoating and CP upgrade project included six anode bed installations and seven test station installations, each requiring coating removal and recoating of approximately 20 feet of pipeline per location. See how this project successfully enhanced pipeline protection.
