System

Decentralized control and regulation system of the new generation

KKS is based on the fact that the corrosion process comes to a standstill when the equilibrium potential is reached with the aid of electricity. The required current is supplied by external current (direct current), with the negative pole connected to the iron or steel structure and the positive pole to the anodes.

The innovative Noxeco control and regulation system is used here. The intelligent control unit regulates and measures with high precision and ensures permanent and stable control of the individual protected areas.

The Noxeco Vision software enables the system to be controlled and monitored remotely.

How it works

Depending on the area of application, you can choose from two different cabling and communication variants. This has the advantage that it can be optimized for all conceivable areas of application. In the case of special structural conditions, both variants can also be operated in combination.

Simple control via the Noxeco Vision software

The intuitive Noxeco Vision web interface is the user interface for controlling the system, which ensures constantly controlled and remote monitoring.

Noxeco Vision enables assignable user-based access to the system for property owners, planners and contractors. Current measurement data and diagrams can be viewed via the web interface and are also available for download. A maintenance calendar provides an overview, transparency and planning capability.

Noxeco Vision is a central place to securely manage all relevant project information for clients, planners and maintenance companies. Quick and easy customer access to the settings is possible via the QR code on the can.

Flexibility and individualization

The Noxeco KKS system impresses with its versatility and can be used flexibly in all common areas thanks to different installation variations. Depending on the application, a decision is made as to which of the two variants is the most sensible and economical for the specific requirements.

The individual control via the All-in-One Box makes it possible to define three different control areas in one protected zone and has the option of measuring four sensors at the same time.

Thinking inside one box

The KKS Noxeco system is designed as an all-in-one box. This is simple, economical and environmentally friendly, as decentralized control eliminates 80% of the supply cables and cable runs.

As part of regular maintenance, only the individual circuit board is replaced prophylactically or if necessary. There is no need to disconnect cables or replace the entire box.

Basic principle of cathodic corrosion protection
Anode system

By installing a cathodic corrosion protection system, the corrosion process is reduced to a minimum. The use of an impressed current anode system plays an important role in providing electrochemical protection and ensuring long-lasting protection for the steel reinforcement in your concrete components.

An anode system consists of anodes made of metals or alloys that are more susceptible to corrosion. These anodes are strategically placed near the metal structure to be protected and electrically connected to it. The anodes serve as sacrificial anodes, which means that they corrode preferentially during the corrosion process. This diverts the corrosive effect from the protected metal structure to the anodes. Depending on the application, different anode systems can be used:

FAQ

  • What is KKS?

    Cathodic corrosion protection is a process in which a metal is protected against corrosion by forcing it to undergo a cathodic reaction.

    By using an external power source, the metal is turned into a negative pole (cathode), which protects it from corrosion. This is done by shifting the corrosion potential of the metal to a lower level, which slows down or even stops the corrosion process. By using these protective measures, the service life of the structure can be extended and protection against corrosion can be guaranteed. The artificial current causes the metal to emit electrons, which are provided by the current source. This reduces or prevents the formation of corrosive products. The metal is put into a protected state, as it no longer becomes the anode where corrosion takes place.

    KKS cathodic corrosion protection is often used for metal structures that are exposed to corrosive environments such as water or soil. The use of this protective measure can extend the service life of the structure and ensure protection against corrosion.
    The huge advantage of KKS is the minimal intervention in the structure, monitoring from outside and the elimination of supports and reduction of downtimes and closures.

  • How long does cathodic corrosion protection for reinforced concrete last?

    Cathodic corrosion protection for reinforced concrete is a long-term solution that significantly extends the service life of structures. With proper installation and maintenance, the protection can last for several decades. However, it is important to regularly monitor the condition of the corrosion protection system and take maintenance measures if necessary.

  • Is cathodic corrosion protection environmentally friendly?

    Yes, cathodic corrosion protection is environmentally friendly. By slowing down the corrosion process, it reduces the need for new materials and thus contributes to sustainability. In addition, some methods of cathodic corrosion protection, such as the use of sacrificial anodic systems, use environmentally friendly materials such as zinc or magnesium as anodes.

  • Is cathodic corrosion protection expensive?

    The cost of cathodic corrosion protection can vary depending on the size of the structure and the protection method chosen. However, it is important to remember that cathodic corrosion protection can save costs in the long term, as it reduces expensive repairs and maintenance measures. A precise cost analysis and advice from experts is recommended in order to find the most economical solution for each project.

  • What types of cathodic corrosion protection are there?

    There are different types of cathodic corrosion protection for reinforced concrete, including impressed current cathodic protection (applied external current sources) and sacrificial anode cathodic protection (sacrificial anodic systems). The choice of the right method depends on various factors, such as the size of the structure, the surroundings and the specific requirements of the project.
