Deepwater’s aluminum and zinc tank anodes provide cathodic protection for any type of vessel.

Deepwater's galvanic anodes for the interior of tanks and process vessels are cast in either of two premium aluminum alloys (Deep7 and Deep10) or MIl SPec zinc alloys, for optimal performance in any conditions. Anodes are manufactured in several "standard" sizes. In addition to these, Deepwater can cast anodes to the exact specifications required. Please contact us for advice on optimizing an anode to suit your specific requirements.
