High Efficiency Impressed Current Cast Iron Anodes will improve anode efficiency by increasing surface area, which decreases anode resistance up to 48%. The increased efficiency will create considerable cost savings on installation and manufacturing.

​

• Up to 40% increase in surface area-to-weight ratio

• Up to 50% increase in active surface area, consequently reducing the electrical resistance of the anode and therefore the total ICCP circuit resistance. Lower electrical resistance will provide the following benefits: Up to 50% increased current output resulting in reduced:

• • Number of anodes required

  • Groundbed length and land acquisition costs

  • Cost of drilling

  • Amount of wire necessary

  • Cost of wire and hardware

  • Amount of anode groundbed coke breeze

• Decreased operating voltage, resulting in:

  • Reduced possibility of interfering stray current to nearby structures and its adverse effects

  • Utilization of lower-capacity transformer rectifiers, which lower equipment and operating/maintenance costs

• Up to 50% lower overall project costs
