Offshore platform and pipeline anodes
AIL platform anodes are either in trapezoidal or cylindrical cross section with a round solid bar or tubular steel inserts. Our pipeline anodes are either in segmented bracelet or half-shell bracelet or bolted-type bracelet anodes.
Half-shell bracelet anodes can be made with square ends for flush fitting, with concrete coating or with taper ends for easy movement over stringer during pipeline laying. In addition, bracelet anodes can be designed for fitting on pipeline by welding or bolting the anode halves together and then connected to the pipeline by cables.
AIL pipeline anodes are available in diameter sizes from 2in to 56in. In addition to platform and pipeline anodes, AIL manufactures different types of aluminium and zinc hull and tank anodes.

AIL's foundry in Sharjah, UAE, is equipped with modern LPG and electric furnaces, a computerised design-engineering department, computerised chemical analysis and electrochemical laboratories, a fabrication shop with steel rolling and pipe bending equipments.
