MCPS Ltd specialise in the design and manufacture of Cathodic Protection (CP) and Marine Growth Prevention Systems (MGPS). For over 10 years we have been supplying the marine and offshore industries with equipment designed to protect assets from the damaging effects of corrosion. All of the systems we supply are manufactured according to the strict requirements demanded by these important industry sectors.
Our activities primarily revolve around the production of CP systems consisting of aluminium anodes, zinc anodes and magnesium sacrificial anodes. These are manufactured right here in the UK at either one of our foundries in the south of England or the north of England (where our head office is also based). All of our operations are subject to an ISO 9001:2008 certified quality management system, and all products are manufactured in accordance with industry specifications such as NACE SP0387-2006 and DNV-RP-B401 (full documentation and certification is provided).
You can find out more about our CP and MGPS products in the sections below and on our website. If you require any further advice or assistance, or would like to speak to an expert regarding the use of our systems in marine and offshore environments, please get in touch using the contact details provided above.
Our MGPS (Marine Growth Prevention Systems) consist of a copper alloy rod that prevents fouling and an aluminium or ferrous alloy rod which prevents corrosion. Once fitted, an anti-fouling anode requires very little maintenance and has no adverse effects on the marine environment.
Copper alloy anodes are mostly used to prevent marine growth in pipework strainers, heat exchangers, pumps and box coolers, thus removing a common cause of blockages. MCPS can supply them in various sizes.
Aluminium alloy and ferrous alloy anodes, meanwhile, are typically used in conjunction with copper alloyed anodes to prevent corrosion throughout Cu/Ni pipework. These are also available in a variety of sizes.
There are a number of reasons why aluminium alloys have become the preferred material for stand off/harbour anodes. The first is that they offer high electromechanical efficiency, enabling them to be operated at different temperature co-efficients. Another reason is that they are lighter and easier to handle than zinc anodes, and therefore easier to fit.
Zinc is of course a well-proven anode material, and its capacity is virtually unaffected by the operating current density. However, the driving voltage tends to diminish with increasing temperature, and it therefore has limited application.
