Robust, high-performance systems developed with decades of experience to protect your submerged and buried structures against corrosion and fouling in offshore environments.
Ionfix designs, manufactures, and adapts equipment to end-user specifications, offering rectifiers for offshore impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) with Ti MMO anodes, and anti-fouling systems with copper and aluminum anodes.
We develop dedicated projects using industrial-grade microcontrollers, ensuring high performance, reliability, and operational flexibility.
We are the only Brazilian company with full command of ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) and MGPS/ICAF technologies for vessels and platforms, with 100% local content and equipment approved in tests required by the Brazilian Navy and other industry stakeholders.
Key differentiators:
Design, testing, and adaptations to end-user specifications.
Field surveys, detail design, calculation reports for ICCP and MGPS, in accordance with national and international standards, or a scope provided by the client. The purpose is to protect against corrosion or fouling in the offshore area, or any client structure.
Our systems, already manufactured and supplied, have undergone tests such as vibration (conducted at CEPEL), EMC – Electromagnetic Compatibility (conducted at CPQD), and shock wave calculation reports, which are traditional requirements for supply to a Brazilian Navy warship. We achieved full approval in all aforementioned tests, proving the robustness and efficiency of the systems we manufacture.
Systems developed and manufactured in Brazil, with components acquired from Brazilian sub-suppliers, allowing us to certify that our system has 100% national content.
We develop custom projects ranging from traditional electronics to the use of industrial microcontrollers, aimed at specific applications in the areas of cathodic protection and anti-fouling, as well as other technical needs of each client.
From rectifiers to anodes and control modules: equipment for ships, platforms, and terminals.
We perform detail engineering, manufacturing, refinement, testing, and adaptations according to end-user specifications for rectifiers applied to offshore Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems.
These are high-technology units whose primary function is to power the anodes, ensuring corrosion protection for ships and platforms. Our systems feature 100% local content and are compliant with Brazilian Navy standards, in addition to meeting the requirements of both national and international companies.
Ionfix develops and manufactures rectifiers approved in rigorous testing for vibration, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and shock wave resistance, meeting the standards demanded by the industry’s leading clients.
Design, manufacturing, and adaptations of offshore anti-fouling systems based on copper and aluminum alloy anodes, used in the sea chests of ships and platforms. The only Brazilian company with full expertise in this technology.
Manufacturing of activated titanium anodes (Ti MMO) for offshore cathodic protection systems. Includes solutions for suspended or temporary anodes for active platforms and FPSOs, developed in collaboration with Petrobras engineering (Campos Basin).
Manufacturing of copper or aluminum anodes for offshore anti-fouling systems. They are used in sea chests together with MGPS/ICAF to prevent fouling in piping and heat exchangers that use seawater.
Suspended anodes are an efficient solution for offshore structures whose cathodic protection system has reached the end of its service life. This technology has been widely used by Petrobras to address problems on units in operation.
In the image alongside, we present some of the constructive details of the suspended anode, the result of a development carried out in partnership with Petrobras.
This is a unique solution developed for scenarios where existing anodes have been depleted, yet the offshore unit still has years of operational life ahead, with no equivalent alternatives available on the market.
Our equipment has been approved in rigorous vibration tests conducted at CEPEL, in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) tests carried out at CPQD, and validated through structural calculations considering loads such as shock waves.
