Marelco ~ Cathelco

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.
