ADELCO REP Automatic Cathodic Protection Rectifier: Efficiency and Reliability in Critical Environments

The Automatic Cathodic Protection Rectifier - REP, developed by ADELCO, is a robust solution designed to guarantee the protection of metal surfaces against corrosion in aggressive atmospheres and environments with high salinity. This equipment is essential for the integrity of metal infrastructures, especially in industries that operate in extreme conditions, such as offshore installations, petrochemical plants, and other critical industrial applications.

REP Rectifier Features and Benefits

• Automatic current adjustment: The REP Rectifier automatically adjusts the output current based on the external voltage generated by a reference electrode. This ensures a constant potential balance between the metal structure and the electrolyte, preventing oxidation and, consequently, corrosion.
• Single or multiple exit options: The equipment offers flexibility with single or multiple output options, adapting to various cathodic protection needs.
• Constant Potential, Current and Voltage: The REP keeps the electrical parameters constant, ensuring continuous and effective protection of metal surfaces.
• Degree of Protection IP-23 to IP-56: With a wide range of degrees of protection, the REP Rectifier can operate reliably in different environmental conditions, from indoor areas to places with high exposure to dust, humidity and salinity.
• Compliance with Petrobras Standard N-2608: The REP is designed in compliance with Petrobras Standard N-2608, ensuring that it meets strict industry standards for safety and efficiency.

Flexibility and Customization

ADELCO's Cathodic Protection Rectifiers are available in manual and automatic models, providing versatility for different applications. In the manual model, the current is adjusted via TAPs in the transformer, allowing for more granular control, while in the automatic model, the adjustment is made dynamically according to external conditions, guaranteeing continuous protection without manual intervention.

Industrial applications

The REP Rectifier is ideal for protecting metal surfaces that are exposed to electrolytic media, such as water or soil, where the peripheral atoms tend to turn into positive ions, starting a corrosion process. With its ability to operate in adverse conditions, such as aggressive atmospheres and high salinity, the REP is widely used in industries that demand high reliability and durability from their systems.

Conclusion

For companies operating in critical environments where corrosion protection is essential, ADELCO's REP Automatic Cathodic Protection Rectifier offers an efficient and reliable solution. With its customizability and compliance with strict standards, the REP ensures that your metal infrastructures remain protected and operating at maximum efficiency.
