Aluminium anodes for cathodic protection

Details

Protectors

Protector solutions are one of the most efficient ways to preserve metal structures that are operated in aggressive environments (sea and bottom water, groundwater, stratal water, etc.) against corrosion. RUSAL produces protectors of various types and sizes from aluminium alloys with specified characteristics.

The application of such products is primarily in the shipbuilding sector including underwater parts of vessels and ships, fixed and floating port structures and internal surfaces of premises that are regularly or periodically filled with water. In the oil and gas industry, protectors are used for anti-corrosion protection of main underwater and underground pipelines, the surfaces of oil and gas storage tanks, structures of fixed and floating drilling rigs, and in the municipal sector – underground pipelines and utilities.   

RUSAL offers more than 10 types of protectors, which are produced at the Bogoslovsk Aluminium Smelter.
