Transformer Rectifier Unit
The Transformer Rectifier Unit (TRU) serves as a critical component in ICCP systems. Equally, it reduces or adjusts the incoming AC voltage to a desired level suitable for rectification. Subsequently, the rectifier subsequently converts AC current into a regulated DC output using diodes, thyristors, or silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and then applies it to the structure requiring protection (e.g., pipelines, tanks, offshore platforms) to prevent corrosion.

ICCP Anode
The most commonly used anode in the ICCP system is the Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Anode. This anode consists of a titanium substrate coated with mixed metal oxides such as iridium, ruthenium, or other platinum group metals. In addition, these anodes are designed for long service life, low consumption rates, and excellent performance in a wide range of cathodic protection applications, making them ideal for both onshore and offshore environments.Furthermore, their high durability and stability under varying operating conditions contribute to reduced maintenance and reliable long-term operation.
Moreover, when energized with DC current, the MMO coating catalyzes the oxidation of species in the electrolyte (such as water or chloride ions), delivering protective current to the structure without significant self-consumption.

Spark Gap
A spark gap is an electrical safety device used in cathodic protection systems to prevent high-voltage surges from damaging equipment. It consists of two conductive electrodes placed at a specified distance from each other, allowing electrical currents to pass through only when the voltage exceeds a certain threshold. Also, once the voltage reaches the set level, the spark gap creates an arc, safely dissipating the excess energy.
Anti-Corrosion Tape
Anti-Corrosion Tape is a cold-applied, self-adhesive wrapping system designed to protect metallic surfaces—especially buried or submerged pipelines, fittings, and steel structures—from corrosion caused by moisture, soil chemicals, and electrolytic action. One common type is Bitumen-based tape, such as Bitutape, which provides an effective barrier between the metal surface and corrosive environments.
Thermit Welding Tools
Thermit Welding Tools are specialized equipment used for performing exothermic welds to create permanent, and low-resistance connections between conductors, such as CP cables, ground rods, rebars, or rails.
Moreover, it is widely used in Cathodic Protection (CP) systems, especially for bonding CP cables to pipelines, steel structures, or reinforcing bars, as it ensures excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.
It includes:
- Thermit Welding Mould
- Thermit Welding Catridge
- Flint Gun
- Cleaning Brush
Royston Handycap
Technicians thermit weld or mechanically connect CP cables to pipelines, the coating at the connection point must be removed to access bare metal. After the bond is made:
- The exposed area (cutback) must be re-coated to prevent corrosion.
