Loango Platform	Platform	TSA Anode

LIDA TSA™ Anodes — a mixed metal oxide (MMO) on titanium anode material configured and designed to provide superior protection of offshore platforms.

A tension string anode structure:

• Multiple LIDA^® anodes and armored cable are assembled
  on a supporting rope.
• Spacers insure the anode is in complete contact with seawater.
• The LIDA TSA™ is connected from the platform to a dead weight on the sea floor.

Tensioned Anode String
Installed on a Steel Jacket

 

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES

• Fewer anodes required with higher current density
• Current output is easily adjusted
• Ease of installation reduces cost of cathodic protection system
• Greater savings in deep water installations
• A twenty year history of successful cathodic protection in platforms from 15 to 120 meters in depth

Case Study:

Loango Field Platforms operated by Agip Recherches Congo retrofit a LIDA TSA™ system over a poor performing galvanic system. The LIDA TSA™ operated successfully from 1987 to 2005 when it was replaced with a new system to coincide with the 20 year extension in the platforms planned operating life.
