Our ICCP system is based on the use of two types of anode:
platinized titanium anodes (Pt-Ti) for application in sea and fresh water
and titanium anodes (MDSA) coated with the mixture of noble and non-noble metal oxides, specially designed for application in sea water.

It should be emphasized here that we are the owners of the technology of production of both types of anode and that we can also be suppliers of anodes for the ICCP systems.

Characteristics of both types of anode are given in Table II.

Table II: Wear rate and typical current density of anodes.

Type of anode	environment	typical cur.den. (A m-2)	wear rate (mg A-1h-1)
	fresh water	100	approx. 5
Pt - Ti	brackish water	300	approx. 10-15
	sea water	700	aprox 1
MDSA	sea water	500	< 0.1

Apart of a very low wear rate, the main advantage of MDSA anode over Pt-Ti anode for
application in sea water is the simultaneous cathodic protection and antifouling.

ICCP system components

Our ICCP system generally comprises a power unit (incorporating the controller), the reference electrodes and anodes, while for application on ships shaft earthing assembly and rudder bonding are also provided.
