Zinc Anode for Ballast Water Tank
Ultra-long-term protection: Zinc anodes continuously protect the steel structure inside the ballast tank by sacrificing their own materials, extending the service life of the hull and Marine facilities and reducing accidental damage.
Efficient corrosion protection: Using the natural electrochemical properties of zinc anodes, our products actively resist corrosion, maintain the integrity of the steel structure inside the ballast water tank, and keep your ship equipment as new as ever.
Wordless installation: The zinc anode design is flexible and can be easily installed in a variety of ballast tanks without complex tools or special processes. Various shapes (plate, rod, block), to meet a variety of installation requirements.
Economical: low material cost and long-term protection cycle, significantly reduce maintenance costs and replacement frequency, improve your return on investment.
Overview
Advantages
The main advantages of zinc alloy sacrificial anode for ballast water tanks are high electrochemical performance, high power generation per unit weight of anode material, good performance in seawater and other mediums containing chlorine ions, and strong self-regulation of the issued current. In addition, it is characterised by low self-solubility and high current efficiency, and is capable of providing stable corrosion protection for ballast water tanks over a long period of time.
Cases in Practice
In practical use, such as ballast water tanks of large ships in offshore engineering, offshore platforms, multiple zinc anodes are usually arranged to provide comprehensive and uniform protection. For example, in an offshore project, when zinc anodes are configured for a 10,000 cubic meter ballast tank, an anode is usually installed every 3-5 meters at the bottom and every 2-3 meters at the bulkhead to ensure that each anode works effectively and covers the entire tank interior.
