The anode replacement skid makes it possible to replace anodes without recover the hose to surface, thus reducing operation time and cost.
A special designed anode belt to be installed/removed by ROV is carried in the anode skid. When in position, the anode belt is clamped and locked around the swivel. The locking mechanism is operated by the ROV manipulator. When replacement of the anode belt is found necessary, the operation is reversed to remove the anode belt. "
