LIDA® Ribbon Anode

 

The LIDA® Grid anode-originally developed for the cathodic protection of steel reinforced concrete structures, it has found a specific application in CP of above ground storage tank, in particular when secondary containment is present.

Advantages

  • It allows to design distributed anode systems in order to reach uniform protection and current distribution

  • Easy to handle and install

  • Effectively stops the external corrosion on the tank bottoms

  • No requirement for calcined petroleum coked backfill, saving time during installation

  • Environmentally friendly, avoiding the need for drilling and reducing risks, with a secondary containment membrane, in case of liquid leak

  • Low life-cycle costs and extended anode life of over 50 years

Applications

  • Ground Storage Tank

  • New Tank installations with secondary containment liners.
