CORRPRO Anfomatic® MGPS Control Panel – Marine Growth Prevention & Anti-Fouling System

The CORRPRO Anfomatic® system is a marine Marine Growth Prevention System (MGPS) designed to protect vessel seawater circuits against biological fouling such as barnacles, mussels and other marine organisms.

The control unit shown in this product family manages and monitors electrical current supplied to special antifouling anodes installed in seawater intake systems.

Corrpro Europe identifies Anfomatic® as its dedicated marine growth prevention system for ships and offshore assets. The company states that these systems protect sea chests, strainers, box coolers and internal seawater piping against biofouling.

What Does the Anfomatic System Do?

When raw seawater enters a ship, tiny marine organisms can travel through sea chests and pipework.

Over time they can grow into:

Barnacles • Mussels • Tubeworms • Algae • Other Marine Growth

This can cause:

• reduced seawater flow
• blocked strainers
• restricted cooling-water pipes
• poor heat exchanger performance
• increased pump load
• higher maintenance requirements
• internal corrosion problems

The Anfomatic system is designed to prevent this growth before it becomes established.

How Does CORRPRO Anfomatic MGPS Work?

The operating principle uses controlled electrical current applied to special anodes.

Copper Anode

Current applied to the copper anode releases a controlled amount of copper ions into the seawater.

These ions create conditions that discourage barnacle and mussel larvae from settling and developing inside the seawater system.

Aluminium Anode

An aluminium anode releases aluminium hydroxide products that can form protective films on ferrous surfaces and help reduce internal corrosion.

Ferrous / Iron Anode

Corrpro specifies iron/ferrous anodes in suitable systems such as certain cupro-nickel pipework applications.

So the complete system may include:

Power Control Unit → Control Modules → Electrical Cables → Junction Boxes → Copper / Aluminium / Ferrous Anodes → Sea Chest / Strainer

CORRPRO Anfomatic MGPS System

Corrpro's newer MGPS equipment continues the same Anfomatic operating principle with modular power-control equipment.

Current Corrpro documentation describes modular power units capable of controlling multiple anode channels, with individual anode current monitoring and fault indication.

Where Is the Anfomatic System Used?

Typical marine applications include:

Sea Chest
Main Seawater Intake
Cooling Water System
Strainers
Box Coolers
Heat Exchangers
Fire-Water Systems
Seawater Pump Systems
Internal Seawater Piping

Corrpro specifically highlights sea chests and strainers because protecting the seawater entry point helps protect the rest of the downstream circuit.

What Is the Anfomatic Control Panel?

The photographed product is part of the electrical control side of the MGPS.

Depending on system generation and configuration, the controller can be responsible for:

• supplying controlled DC current to anodes
• displaying individual anode current
• monitoring system status
• detecting anode failure
• showing alarms
• switching between operating modes
• interfacing with vessel alarm/automation systems

Corrpro's current specification notes that each microprocessor-controlled module can supply two anodes and provide digital current indication, anode-failure warning and power-failure alarm functionality.

Because your photos show an older Anfomatic® display/controller, exact channel count and electrical rating should be confirmed from the internal module label or system drawing rather than assumed from newer specifications.

CORRPRO, Wilson Walton & Legacy MGPS Equipment

This is an important search area.

Corrpro Europe states that it was formerly Wilson Walton UK and continues to provide support and spare parts for both legacy Wilson Walton equipment and modern Corrpro systems.

Therefore customers may search for:

CORRPRO Anfomatic
Wilson Walton Anfomatic
Wilson Walton MGPS
Corrpro MGPS
Marine Antifouling Controller
Marine Growth Prevention Controller

even though they may actually need parts from the same installed system family.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

No Current to Anode

Check:

Power Supply → Control Module → Fuse/Protection → Cable → Junction Box → Anode

A zero current reading does not necessarily mean the anode itself has failed.

Low Anode Current

Possible areas to inspect include:

• control setting
• cable connections
• anode condition
• seawater conductivity
• wiring resistance
• control module output

Anode Failure Alarm

Inspect both the actual anode and its electrical circuit before replacing the controller.

Corrpro's current MGPS specification includes both visual and onscreen warning for anode failure.

Display Not Working

Check:

• incoming AC supply
• internal power supply
• display/controller electronics
• connection between modules
• power switch and protection devices

Marine Growth Appearing Despite MGPS Operation

Possible checks include:

• incorrect current setting
• exhausted anodes
• failed anode circuit
• seawater flow pattern
• incorrect anode placement
• periods when system was switched off
• insufficient treatment for operating conditions

The MGPS is primarily preventative; established growth may require physical cleaning before normal protection can be restored.

Spare Parts & Replacement Availability

SM MARINE SERVICE™ can support sourcing for CORRPRO / Anfomatic / Wilson Walton marine antifouling and MGPS equipment, depending on exact system and stock.

Typical requirements may include:

Anfomatic Control Panel
MGPS Power Control Unit

For old systems, send:

Front Photo + Internal Panel Photo + Serial Number + Module Labels + Anode Type + Vessel System Drawing

This gives the best chance of matching the correct spare.

MGPS vs ICCP – Important Difference

These two systems are often confused.

MGPS / Anfomatic primarily protects internal seawater systems against marine growth and biofouling.

ICCP – Impressed Current Cathodic Protection primarily protects submerged metallic structures such as the ship's hull against corrosion.

Corrpro supplies both technologies, but they perform different functions and should not be treated as interchangeable systems.

Why Ships Still Need Anfomatic Spare Parts

MGPS equipment may remain installed onboard for many years.

Replacing a failed controller or power module can often be significantly easier than replacing the complete sea-chest anode installation, cabling and control system.

Corrpro continues to support marine MGPS and legacy equipment and states that genuine spares are supplied for Corrpro, Wilson Walton and other manufacturers' systems.

FAQ

What is CORRPRO Anfomatic?
Anfomatic® is Corrpro's Marine Growth Prevention System used to prevent marine organisms from colonising vessel seawater systems.

Is Anfomatic an ICCP system?
No. Anfomatic is primarily an MGPS/antifouling system. Corrpro's Aquamatic product family is associated with ICCP hull corrosion protection.

Where are Anfomatic anodes installed?
Common locations include sea chests and strainers at or near seawater intake points.

What types of anodes are used?
Corrpro documentation describes copper together with aluminium or ferrous anodes depending on the application and pipe material.

Can SM MARINE SERVICE™ supply old Wilson Walton / Corrpro spare parts?
Requirements can be checked by model, serial number, module identification and photographs, including legacy system components.

Do you supply complete MGPS controllers?
Yes, depending on availability, complete units and individual control components can be sourced.
