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.
