Supervent™

Supervent™

MATCOR’s SuperVent is a single-piece deep anode vent pipe system with fabric-covered perforations providing five times more open surface area than standard vent pipe to prevent blockage. Supplied coiled in one continuous piece, it requires no field assembly for any borehole depth.

Supervent™ Key Benefits

It will not become blocked, even with very fine coke backfill
Greater venting area than any other deep anode venting system
One piece for the entire length of the vent pipe eliminates field assembly
Can be used for all types of deep anode systems and surface anode systems
A proven product used in thousands of installations
Greater venting minimizes the effects of chlorine gas attack on cables and anodes

Supervent™ Components

Chlorine resistant HDPE vent pipe with perforations in the active anode area.

Porous fabric over the vented area: The fabric will not allow fine particles to pass, but allows water and gas to pass to the inside of the pipe. The fabric is marked with the designation SuperVent to allow for easy identification.

Bottom seal: The vent pipe must be sealed on the bottom to prevent coke from entering.

Supervent™ Ordering

SuperVent should extend the total depth of the deep anode borehole plus a minimum of ten feet to extend above the top of the borehole. The additional pipe can be cut off after installation. SuperVent’s active area is the area with perforations that is covered with fabric. This active area should be the length of the coke backfill column plus ten feet to extend above the top of the coke column for the best venting. Given these measurements, MATCOR will manufacture the vent system in one piece and ship it coiled and ready for installation.

Supervent™ Installation

SuperVent is easy to install. Simply uncoil the vent system and attach it to the anodes or anode system. A bottom weight helps to lower the system. If using mixed metal oxide tubes or individual anodes, use MATCOR centralizers to hold and center the anodes in the borehole. The centralizers have provisions for attaching to the anodes and vent pipe. In addition to being ideal for MATCOR’s Durammo® and other deep anode systems, SuperVent is also the right choice for other impressed current anode installations where chlorine gas is anticipated. Simply install the deep anode venting system next to the anodes and vent to the surface.

A cathodic protection anode bed is commonly used to protect pipelines, well casings, water systems, and other large infrastructure assets where current must be distributed over a broad area.
Horizontal Directional Drilling is a trenchless installation method that allows MATCOR to install cathodic protection and AC mitigation systems under roads, rivers, tanks, and other obstacles without cutting trenches or disrupting the surface. HDD is the preferred method when footprint is limited, environmental sensitivity is high, or conventional trenching isn’t feasible.
HydroVac excavation uses pressurized water and a vacuum system to safely expose buried utilities, pipelines, and structures without the risk of mechanical damage. MATCOR deploys hydrovac equipment for precise, non-destructive excavation in situations where conventional digging methods would create unacceptable risk to existing infrastructure.
MATCOR installs linear anode systems using construction methods tailored to the specific project and site conditions. Linear anodes are commonly used to protect pipelines, facilities, tank farms, and other infrastructure where uniform current distribution is required.
