Impressed current cathodic protection systems have been in use since the late 1950s.... Today's sophisticated and reliable systems trickle a small, regulated current into the seawater surrounding the vessel, usually through an anode of platinum-clad tantalum. 2, record 1, English, - impressed%20current%20cathodic%20protection%20system

Trickling water through air... can be used by trickling the water over a layer of contact materials with a counter current of air... This method comprises a large number of falls and the maximum possible water trickle surface area. The rate of aeration obtained depends on the number of volumes of pure water per hour flowing over a predetermined volume of contact materials(coke, volcanic lava, Raschig rings, etc.), the nature and shape of the developed surface of these materials, and the rate of air circulation. 1, record 2, English, - contact%20material
