Impressed current meaning

What  exactly  is  impressed  current?

Impressed Current, What is  it?  When  it  comes to  marine  services, one word  you might hear is impressed current. But  what does it really mean?  Impressed  current  is  a method of battling corrosion  on metal structures  in the sea, such  as ships  and offshore  platforms. By  employing an  outside power  supply  to  generate  an  electrical current, impressed  current systems are designed  to counteract  the corrosion of metal structures in contact  with a marine  environment.  It's  this technology  that  is essential for  the  ongoing longevity  and  safety of maritime  vessels,  and  one that  we  recognise  an  integral part of our offering here at SME  Group.

 

Discover the advantages of impressed current technology

There are  many advantages  of ICCP  technology for  marine  application. Because it  controls the  rate  of  corrosion,  impressed current systems afford greater  protection than  do  passive systems  such as  sacrificial anodes.  This  preventive  maintenance  also  increases  the useful  lifetime of  a  marine  structure  and  reduces longterm  maintenance  expenditure. Furthermore, impressed current systems are adjustable  to  a  high degree  of  detailing  for corrosion protection  level  monitoring and  controlling.  Recognising  these  benefits, SME Group  core services  focus the  design and installation  of impressed current  systems  to client  requirements.
