Question 1

What is ICCP and how does it protect ships from corrosion?

Answer

ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) is an active corrosion protection system used on ships, offshore platforms, harbors, and other submerged steel structures. The system uses powered anodes and a control unit to apply a protective electrical current, preventing corrosion of the steel hull.

MPE Cathodic designs, manufactures, and services ICCP systems for marine and offshore applications. With more than 40 years of experience in cathodic protection technology, the company provides ICCP rectifiers, anodes, reference electrodes, spare parts, monitoring, and technical support for both new installations and retrofit projects.

Question 2

What is the difference between ICCP and ICAF?

Answer

Although both systems use impressed current technology, they solve different problems:

ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) protects metal structures against corrosion.
ICAF (Impressed Current Anti Fouling) prevents marine growth such as mussels, barnacles, and shellfish from accumulating in seawater pipes, sea chests, and cooling systems.

ICCP extends the life of ship hulls and offshore structures by controlling corrosion, while ICAF maintains efficient seawater flow and cooling performance by preventing biological fouling. Many vessels use both systems together for complete protection.

MPE Cathodic supplies complete ICCP and ICAF solutions, including power supplies, monitoring systems, and anodes tailored to marine and offshore environments.
