Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
ICCP System (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection System): A device designed to prevent electrochemical corrosion of ship hulls. Comprised of an automatic rectifier, high-performance anodes, and reference electrodes, it continuously monitors the hull potential and delivers optimal protective current through the anodes in a fully automatic manner [1, 4, 5, 9, 15, 18, 22, 33]. Models KCIG10, KCIG20, KCIG30, KCIG40, KCIG50, KCIG60 are availableICCPSystem(ImpressedCurrentCathodicProtectionSystem):Adevicedesignedtopreventelectrochemicalcorrosionofshiphulls.Comprisedofanautomaticrectifier,high-performanceanodes,andreferenceelectrodes,itcontinuouslymonitorsthehullpotentialanddeliversoptimalprotectivecurrentthroughtheanodesinafullyautomaticmanner[1,4,5,9,15,18,22,33].ModelsKCIG10,KCIG20,KCIG30,KCIG40,KCIG50,KCIG60areavailable
MGPS (Marine Growth Preventing System): A system to prevent marine growth adhesion and suppress corrosion within ship seawater pipelines. Consisting of a control panel and copper/aluminum/iron electrodes, it generates copper and aluminum/iron ions to inhibit marine organism habitation [1, 4, 5, 9, 15, 18, 20, 21, 33, 35]. Also offers an Electro Chlorination System that generates chlorine compounds through seawater electrolysis [1, 3, 4, 5, 12, 15, 16, 34]MGPS(MarineGrowthPreventingSystem):Asystemtopreventmarinegrowthadhesionandsuppresscorrosionwithinshipseawaterpipelines.Consistingofacontrolpanelandcopper/aluminum/ironelectrodes,itgeneratescopperandaluminum/ironionstoinhibitmarineorganismhabitation[1,4,5,9,15,18,20,21,33,35].AlsooffersanElectroChlorinationSystemthatgenerateschlorinecompoundsthroughseawaterelectrolysis[1,3,4,5,12,15,16,34]
Shaft Earthing Device: A system for preventing corrosion of propeller shafts and propellers. It consists of silver graphite brushes, spring-loaded brush holders, high-quality silver slip rings, and a monitoring system [1, 3, 4, 5, 9, 12, 15, 16]ShaftEarthingDevice:Asystemforpreventingcorrosionofpropellershaftsandpropellers.Itconsistsofsilvergraphitebrushes,spring-loadedbrushholders,high-qualitysilversliprings,andamonitoringsystem[1,3,4,5,9,12,15,16]
