The Cable of MMO Anode in ICCP System The cables of MMO anode in impressed current cathodic protection systems may be used in several aggressive environments such as deep well ground beds and seawater. It may also be exposed to fuels, oils, and chemicals in refinery or process plant installations.   All impressed current cathodic protection anodes should be provided with stranded (7 strands minimum), annealed copper lead wire. There are several cables that can be used for impressed current cathodic protection systems. Hig

The High Performance of Mixed Metal Oxide Coated Titanium Anodes for ICCP System Impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP) systems provide cathodic current from an external power source. A DC power force current to discharge from expendable anodes to the electrolyte, and onto the structure to be protected. Although the current is generated by a corrosion reaction at the auxiliary anode, the energized materials used for the auxiliary anodes either do not corrode or corrode very slowly because corrosion-resistant materials and allo

What is an Impressed Current Cathodic Protection System? Impressed current systems are generally used in applications with large current requirements, such as buried pipelines, large ships, retrofitting of offshore structures and concrete-rebar structures. Impressed Current Cathodic Protection systems can be applied in soil, fresh water, brackish water, and seawater environment. Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems, often referred to as “active” systems, require an extern

Which Sacrificial Anodes is Best for the Cathodic Protection System? The sacrificial anode needs no more external power source comparing with the MMO anode in the ICCP system, it is economical and easy to install. The low voltage and current between the sacrificial anode and the surface will not generate stray current, it protects the system infrequently and makes overprotection is unlikely to happen. Magnesium anode, aluminum anode, and zinc anode are the most used sacrificial anode in the cathodic protection of the galvan
