The MATCOR ORCA Water Well Anode System is a long-life MMO impressed current anode for water tanks, water wells, and aqueous environments, encased in chlorine-resistant Kynar® braiding with Kynex® connections. NSF/ANSI 61 certified, available with integral reference electrodes.
The ORCA Water Well Anode System is made to length at MATCOR’s ISO 9001:2015 certified facility and is NSF/ANSI 61 certified [view the certificate]. The drawing shows a typical anode configurations. However, it is possible to configure with cable exiting both ends, reference electrodes and additional braided Kynar rope on one or both ends.
Final diameter is approximately 1” (25.4 mm). The diameter will be larger at the Kynex connections and at reference electrode locations.
Any length is available
Exterior braiding is chlorine resistant Kynar
Internal cable: HMWPE or HMWPE/Kynar insulated copper
Shipped in coils or on reels for larger lengths
Current outputs available:
25 milliamperes/ft.
100 milliamperes/ft.
Other sizes available
The ORCA Water Well Anode System is available in the stated current output ratings with custom ratings available. The anode can be used in water tanks, inside of water wells and in other enclosed vessels. It has also been used for external protection in wet environments. Contact MATCOR engineering for additional help or for total project design for your PF-Anode cathodic protection.
The ORCA Water Well Anode System is designed for current output per foot, life and length. To order the proper anode length, specify the length of braided rope required on the end(s) and the length of insulated cable exiting the braided housing. Contact MATCOR engineering with questions and for assistance with the design of your ORCA Water Well Anode System.
The ORCA Water Well Anode System is installed in water tanks by hanging it from a clevis in the ceiling of the tank. The ORCA Water Well Anode System hangs by the Kynar braided rope on one end. The power cable exits the anode braiding at the top of the braided rope used for hanging the anode. The ORCA Water Well Anode System is also available in a long version for cathodic protection of floating ring water tank systems. In water tanks, the ORCA Water Well Anode System has demonstrated good resistance to ice damage. If ice clings to the braided outer housing the braiding will stretch without damaging the anode, internal cable or connections. The ORCA Water Well Anode System can also be mounted horizontally. It is a versatile anode assembly that has many uses including deep artesian wells, internal surfaces of enclosed vessels and is used for the propulsion tunnels on large transport ferries.
