Orb™ Marine Anode System

Orb™ Marine Anode System

The ORB Marine Anode System is MATCOR’s patent-pending marine cathodic protection system with a spherical anode that optimizes current discharge and resists water current forces. Designed with a field-poured concrete base, it delivers high capacity from a compact footprint.

Orb™ Marine Anode System Key Benefits

Spherical shape  
Lowest physical resistance to water currents  
Lowest risk of damage from debris
High capacity system in a small anode footprint
Designed for the field installation of a concrete base, to minimize shipping weight
Base can be modified to accommodate exceptionally high sea-level floor and forces will remain in place
Patented connection design allows for clients to make watertight cable connection while on location

MATCOR’s conceptual cathodic protection design services help you evaluate your options — our engineers gather application details, conduct on-site testing as needed, and present the impressed current or sacrificial CP systems that fit, along with benefits, approximate costs, and ongoing maintenance requirements. Backed by 45 years of experience, you get comprehensive options without the guesswork.
MATCOR technicians visit your site to collect the electrical transmission, pipeline, and soil resistivity data needed to evaluate fault current and induced AC corrosion risks and identify safety hazards per the latest NACE and industry standards. This field data feeds MATCOR’s AC modeling process, supporting effective AC mitigation system design.
AC interference modeling uses sophisticated software to analyze safety and corrosion risks — step-touch potential, induced AC, and shorted or fault conditions — for pipelines sharing right-of-way with overhead electrical transmission lines. MATCOR provides field data collection and complete AC modeling and analysis to determine interference risks and design the right AC mitigation system.
Rectifiers are the heart of impressed current cathodic protection systems. Proper installation, startup, and commissioning are critical to achieving reliable long-term system performance.
