Deepwater: Retrobuoy™ Junior

The buoy’s three anodes are held within a buoyant module stabilised on the seafloor by a SeaMat gravity base.

Routing the ICCP system cable can be done in a variety of ways depending on project needs.

Mixed-metal-oxide-activated titanium electrodes allow the anode sled to be operated at a very high current output.

The FLXMAT base can be assembled locally in country to provide local content requirements.

Anode elements: Mixed metal oxide (MMO) activated titanium tubular 1.25 in x 48 in (31.75 x 1219 mm) – centre compression connected. Anodes triple coated. Each RetroBuoy MkIV has 4 buoyancy modules each containing 3 MMO tubes.

Buoyancy modules: PE injection moulded shell / vacuum filled syntactic foam 36 lb./ft.3 (576 kg/m3) – Depth rating 1000 f.s.w. (305 metres).

Four buoyancy modules provided per RetroBuoy MkIV. Overall dimensions: 12.75 in Ø x 60 in long (325 x 1524 mm).

Tethers : 1″ Plasma 12 strand synthetic rope.

Each Retrobuoy junior can output up to 200 amps of cathodic protection current, enough to protect 30,000 sq. ft of steel.

Docks and harbours.

Small offshore structures.
