CATHSYS® I.C.C.P. System: Efficient Hull Corrosion Protection
The CATHSYS® Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (I.C.C.P.) system is designed based on the ship’s total wetted surface area, including the rudder and propeller, and mean current density. While high-quality anti-corrosion paints are applied to protect the hull, these coatings can degrade over time due to harsh seawater conditions. When hull paint becomes damaged, the I.C.C.P. system provides essential protection by preventing corrosion.
Automatic and Manual Control for Optimal Protection
The CATHSYS® I.C.C.P. system automatically monitors and controls the electric potential of the ship’s steel hull using reference cells. These cells detect changes in potential, and the system adjusts the protective current accordingly, eliminating the need for sacrificial anodes. This automatic control not only reduces maintenance costs but also extends the time between dry docks. For added flexibility, operators can switch to manual mode to set protective current levels as needed.
To ensure system efficiency, ship engineers regularly send monthly log sheets via fax or email. Our team offers complimentary professional system diagnostics and reports to verify optimal operation.
With its advanced controls and user-friendly interface, CATHSYS® I.C.C.P. is a reliable solution for protecting ship hulls from corrosion, ensuring long-term performance and cost savings.
