Minitek lCCP Systems by Corrintec

Corrosion protection for steel hulled luxury yachts and cruisers

The Minitek System has been specifically designed by Corrintec to provide effective and economical hull corrosion protection for luxury yachts.

An impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system has many advantages in comparison with the use of traditional sacrificial anodes. There is no need to change the Minitek anodes at each dry docking so maintenance costs are significantly reduced.

In operation, Minitek automatically adjusts the level of output to the anodes resulting in continuous, precisely controlled protection at all times. Also, the anodes are flush mounted to the hull considerably reducing weight and drag, therefore enhancing performance and fuel economy.

Together, this means that Minitek offers superior protection at an affordable price, whilst eliminating corrosion and ongoing maintenance costs.

• Compact, lightweight control panel for easy installation in confined spaces.
• Flush mounted anodes - reduce weight and drag - giving fuel savings.
• Automatic operation - virtually no maintenance required.
• Assured protection against bi-metallic corrosion.
• Microprocessor controlled and operated.
• Systems available in 10amp, 20amp and 40amp designs.
• Supplied with flush mounted anodes and reference electrodes.
• Can be run from yacht's battery supply.

Alutek lCCP Systems by Corrintec

Corrosion protection for steel hulled luxury yachts and cruisers

The Alutek system provides aluminium hulled craft with an automatic, finely controlled ICCP system to prevent corrosion.

Aluminium is generally regarded as a stable material which does not corrode easily. However, when it used in conjunction with other metals such as bronze propellers and steel components, serious problems of hull corrosion can arise.

Until now, sacrificial anodes have been used as a remedy, but these need to be renewed at regular intervals and have the disadvantage of adding weight and 'drag' to the craft.

With its advanced control panel and array of flush mounted anodes and sensors, Alutek accurately monitors the hull condition to provide the optimum level of protection.

• Automatic system - provides optimum protection at all times
• Requires far less maintenance than sacrificial systems.
• Lightweight, flush mounted anodes to reduce 'drag'.
• Compact power unit using switchmode technology.
• Demands minimum attention from crew.

Jettek ICCP Systems to Protect Waterjet Propulsion Systems

Jettek ICCP Systems to Protect Waterjet Propulsion Systems

Waterjet propulsion units are being increasingly used on the larger types of luxury yachts. In these systems the water intake and transom areas are particularly vulnerable to corrosion pitting which can weaken the tunnel which operates under heavy mechanical stress.

With their strong background of technical expertise, Corrintec have designed the Jettek system, a unique and highly effective impressed current cathodic protection ICCP package. This has major advantages in comparison with sacrificial anodes which may not deliver sufficient protection to the waterjet intake ducts in order to eliminate corrosion. It is also more effective than methods primarily based on 'isolation', although Corrintec can provide sophisticated monitoring devices for any type of system.

• Provides continuous corrosion protection for waterjet intake ducts.
• Modular switch-mode power unit.
• Flush mounted anodes and electrodes to reduce turbulence and provide longer life.
• Built-in safety features to prevent 'over protection'.
• Reduces inspection and maintenance time.
• Quantifiable cost savings over life of yacht.

MARINE PIPE WORK ANTI-FOULING SYSTEMS - NANO SYSTEMS

Reliable pipework protection for craft from 20 - 70ft

Would you like to provide your craft with the best protection against marine growth blockages in seawater pipework?

Cathelco have specifically designed the system for luxury yachts and cruisers in the 20ft - 70ft range. The system uses the latest technology, but applies principles which have proved effective on more than 7,500 leisure and commercial craft around the world.

The technical breakthrough has been in miniaturising the control panel and anodes so that they can be easily and economically installed in areas where space is limited. Here are some of the advantages of fitting it on your craft:-

• Ultra-compact pipework anti-fouling system to protect seawater engine cooling lines and ancillary equipment from bio-fouling.
• Anodes are available with integral cathodes and can be fitted to stainless steel, brass or plastic strainers to protect any type of pipework.
• Miniaturised control panel with digital displays showing output to anodes.
• Can be powered from the craft's battery supply. Automatically senses any d.c. voltage between 12V and 24V.
  Safe and environmentally friendly in comparison with chemical based systems.

Pipework anti-fouling/corrosion suppression systems for luxury yachts of more than 70ft

Would you like to provide your craft with the best protection against marine growth blockages in seawater pipework?

Some of the most prestigious luxury yachts in the world are fitted with Cathelco systems. They have become the choice of owners and captains because of their long record of effectiveness and reliability in eliminating blockages in engine cooling systems caused by mussels and barnacles.

The units can be fitted solely to provide anti-fouling protection, but also as dual purpose systems offering the advantage of corrosion suppression within pipework. Each system is designed by Cathelco to the requirements of customer's individual craft.

Today, many systems are installed at newbuilding, but there is the option of retrofitting them. Either way, they will provide continuous protection, whilst running automatically and demanding minimal attention from your crew.
