TankLink™ is based on the proven, versatile SACP RetroLink™ solution which is simple and easy to install, and easily retrievable and redeployed.

TankLink™ is comprised of 3 or 5 cylindrical aluminum anodes cast directly onto a heavy-duty wire rope that are specified weight, shape, and dimensions to meet the CP current demand of the tank over a defined time period. TankLink™ is recommended for temperatures up to 150°F. Its modular design also provides scalability.

The anodes in the TankLink™ system are typically suspended and/or introduced through the tank roof and laid along the tank bottom. Victaulic and bolt-on flange connections are available with our GreenHead anode receivers along with customized suspension mounts. Connections are compatible from 6"-36" flange arrangements.

The reference electrode provides a means to measure the electrical potential between the tank wall and the fluid within the tank, which is a measure of the degree of cathodic protection being afforded to the vessel. It is also used as the control electrode for the transformer-rectifier unit. For permanent monitoring, the electrode used can be either the Polatrak HP-1Z™ or retractable (RT-1Z) or suspended (HP-1Z-E) variants thereof. The fitting should be installed at a height of 1 foot from tank bottom and equidistant between two adjacent anode mounting points. For periodic measurement, a simple drop cell may be introduced through the top of the tank; the Polatrak DC II™ offers guaranteed accuracy +/- 5 mV and is available with extra-long cable (up to 1,500 feet) and a high-capacity cable reel.
