ABOUT: EMCS INDUSTRIES LTD.

Back To Ramsay Group Main
EMCS INDUSTRIES LTD. is the original inventor of the Marelco System (trade name is Cathelco in Canada). This is an electrolytic protection system developed and patented in 1961 in Canada and the United States by Electrolytic Marine Corrosion Services Limited of Victoria, B.C. The original concept was the use of impressed current and aluminum sacrificial anodes to control corrosion of seawater piping systems. The system was found to be effective against scale formation as well. Development and improvement of the original system over the years produced a combined anti-corrosion/anti-fouling system.

MARELCO EQUIPMENT:

Control Panel:
The Marelco constant current control unit is high quality steel dust/splash proof cabinet that incorporates all solid state circuitry and heavy duty components produced to meet any specification. Individual anode printed circuit cards regulate the current to the anodes. Once the current rate is set, the control unit will automatically adjust to compensate for variations in salinity levels and water temperature. Control units require minimum supervision and maintenance.

Anodes and Safety Caps:

Standard anodes are constructed of the highest grade extruded copper, aluminum or iron. Anodes can be formed to any configuration allowing flexibility in positioning and arranging anode locations. Various anode stud diameters are used to meet any standard.

The safety caps are hydraulically tested to 100 p.s.i. and approved by Lloyds, C.S.I. and the American Bureau of Shipping.
