The sacrificial anode method uses aluminum alloy as a sacrificial anode (SACP). During the protection process, the aluminum anode relies on its own activity to protect the steel structure. However, while providing protection, the aluminum alloy sacrificial anode will gradually dissolve, which will release a large amount of metal elements into the ocean, causing adverse effects on the marine environment.

In contrast, impressed current corrosion protection (ICCP) is a more environmentally friendly method. It is an active protection method that provides external power through an electronic control system and uses a highly inert mixed metal oxide thin film titanium anode to achieve protection. The protection status can be monitored through the SCADA system (supervision and data acquisition control system) and the protection performance can be adjusted intelligently, showing a very high level of intelligent technology.

Considering the increasing attention paid to environmental protection worldwide, some countries have banned the use of sacrificial anode method (SACP) for corrosion protection of steel structures in open waters. Therefore, impressed current corrosion protection (ICCP) has become the only solution to protect wind power facilities. In addition, from the perspective of operating expenditure and total cost, ICCP is more economical.

As a world-leading expert in ICCP system design, manufacturing, maintenance and operation, CORROSION's systems are innovative and comply with legislative regulations, achieving the highest level of efficiency and protection.
