Greetings,

I have a customer who is to install cast-iron pump (en-gjl-250) submerged in medium (textile effluent) with pH5. Is installing sacrificial anodes a good measure to reduce corrosion rate and enhance pump life?

Medium temp : 40deg C.
ph : 5


Be curious, and furious in your pursuit for answers
 
Did anyone do the math on the anodes?
At that pH they will be consumed quickly.
They will need to check often.

P.E. Metallurgy, consulting work welcomed
