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

Two Different Cathodic Protection System Cathodic protection is a method to reduce corrosion by minimizing the difference in potential between anode and cathode. This is achieved by applying a current to the structure to be protected (such as a pipeline) from some outside source. When enough current is applied, the whole structure will be at one potential; thus, anode and cathode sites will not exist. Cathodic protection is commonly used on many types of structures, such as pipelines, underground storage tanks, locks, and ship hull

MMO Anodes for Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) Systems Impressed current cathodic protection systems (ICCP) are used to provide cathodic protection for pipelines, ship hulls, offshore production platforms, water, and wastewater treatment equipment, tank farm, and of course underground storage tanks. It requires an external DC power source that is energized by a standard AC current.    ICCP Anodes Type are Consist of:   Mixed Metal Oxide Anode: Mixed metal oxide anodes consist of electroca

How MMO Tubular Anodes Connect to Cables   The cable to mmo tubular anode connection is critical to all impressed current anodes. Lead wire connections at the end of the anode often resulted in a higher rate of consumption, or “necking”, at that end of the anode that resulted in premature loss of lead wire connection. To help prevent the necking of the anode at the connection point, select anodes that were manufactured with an enlarged end if solid rods are to be specified. In addition, specific external epoxy enca
