Copper, Aluminum and Iron MGPS Anodes
Replacement and custom MGPS / ICAF anodes for ships, offshore assets and seawater cooling systems. Configurations are reviewed around anode material, dimensions, operating current, mounting interface, cable connection, seawater duty and compatibility with the existing MGPS system.
MGPS Anode Roles by Material
Anode material selection is dictated by the seawater system's primary protection requirement—marine growth prevention or supplementary internal corrosion control.
Copper MGPS / ICAF Anodes
Primary Function: Marine-growth control inside seawater intake and cooling systems.
Aluminum MGPS Anodes
Primary Function: Corrosion-control support in applicable ferrous / steel seawater systems.
Iron / Ferrous ICAF Anodes
Primary Function: Corrosion-control support in applicable Cu-Ni seawater systems.
Dual MGPS Anodes
Primary Function: Compact combined copper + aluminum or copper + iron arrangement for space-constrained installations.

Pump-Mounted Anodes
Compact anode configurations for pump or localized seawater-equipment installations where the existing system design requires dedicated treatment.
Rack-Mounted Anodes
Multi-anode assemblies mounted on a common rack for project-specific sea chest, intake or retrofit installations.
Replacement & Custom MGPS Anodes
Replacement anodes manufactured after compatibility review of the existing drawing, sample, equipment details, dimensions and electrical operating conditions.
Engineering Data Required for MGPS Anode Selection & Replacement
MGPS anodes should be selected around the seawater system, pipework metallurgy, operating current, installation interface and required service interval—not by material or dimensions alone. For replacement projects, existing system data should also be reviewed before manufacturing.
Engineering Note
MGPS anode service life cannot be defined from dimensions alone. Operating current, usable anode mass, seawater conditions, duty cycle, material and system control all affect anode consumption and the replacement interval.
Buyer Note
For replacement projects, provide the existing anode drawing or sample whenever possible, together with dimensions, mounting details, cable connection, controller information and system nameplate data.
MGPS Anodes Built from Drawings, Samples or Existing System Data
Hele Titanium manufactures custom marine growth prevention system anodes based on drawings, samples and seawater system requirements. We support replacement MGPS anodes and OEM MGPS anodes projects with reliable design review, manufacturing and delivery for shipyard replacement anodes and fleet maintenance.
Existing System Review
Identify system make / model, anode function, vessel, installation point and existing operating condition.
Material & Dimension Review
Confirm anode material, diameter, length, active section, mounting and cable arrangement.
Electrical Compatibility
Review operating current, controller output and existing anode-circuit requirements.
Mechanical Interface
Verify flange, thread, rack, gland, penetration and available installation space.
Drawing Approval
Confirm the project-specific drawing before production where required.
Manufacturing & Inspection
Manufacture, inspect, identify and pack according to the approved order requirements.

Confirm the project documentation package before shipment.
Available Project Documentation May Include
Approved Drawing · Material Record / Certificate Where Specified · Dimensional Inspection Record · Electrical Check Record · Packing List · Product Identification · Project-Specific Test Records
MGPS Anodes Are Not Hull Sacrificial or ICCP Anodes
MGPS / ICAF anodes are powered functional components used in marine-growth-control systems and associated seawater-circuit corrosion-control functions. They should not be specified as interchangeable substitutes for zinc, aluminum or magnesium sacrificial hull anodes, or for ICCP hull anodes.
