LIDA® PACK
CANISTERED WIRE ANODES
 Applications
ELTECH LIDA®
PACK canistered wire anodes are the perfect impressed
current anode for shallow vertical and horizontal surface groundbeds, as well as wet,
marshy soil conditions where caving is likely to occur. Ideal for protecting structures
such as:
- Underground Storage Tanks
- Above Ground Storage Tanks
- Pipelines
Features & Benefits
- Lightweight
- Easy to Handle and Install
- Reduces Excavation and Drilling Costs
- Unconditional Five-Year Warranty
Construction
The primary anode in
an ELTECH LIDA® PACK is a mixed metal oxide wire anode.
The wire anode is comprised of a precious metal oxide coating applied to a
copper cored titanium wire. The oxide coating is completely stable, and does
not corrode, as is the case with traditional massive type anodes, such as
silicon iron, graphite, or even platinum.
The stable anode
element passes current to a highly conductive calcined petroleum coke
backfill. The backfill is well compacted inside a galvanized steel canister.
To allow moisture to quickly migrate to the coke backfill for increased
electrical conductivity, the wire anode element is electrically connected to
the steel canister - thereby accelerating the canister corrosion rate once
the anode has been installed and energized.

Regardless of the type of impressed current anode used, proper ground
bed design is paramount for optimum, low resistance performance. ELTECH
Corporation recommends the use of quality, conductive, carbonaceous
backfill, a vent pipe, and centralizers, suitable cable, and good design
practices and understanding. |
