MMO Wire Anode consists of solid titanium wire which meets ASTM B348 Grade 1 or 2 standards, that has beencoated with Mixed Metal Oxide.
PIGGYBACK WIRE ANODE SYSTEMSFor use on pipelines, the product comprises Mixed Metal Oxide Wire Anode material “piggybacked” to a cable atpredetermined intervals (to aid current distribution and attenuation). The wire and cable is contained within a cottonsock filled with calcined petroleum coke breeze backfill. The Piggyback Sock Anode is placed alongside the pipeline withsuitable lengths of cable at each end of the loop allowed for termination into a junction box.
PIGGYBACK WIRE SOCK ANODE SYSTEMSFor use on pipelines, the product comprises Mixed Metal Oxide Wire Anode material “piggybacked” to a cable atpredetermined intervals (to aid current distribution and attenuation). The wire and cable is contained within a cottonsock filled with calcined petroleum coke breeze backfill. The Piggyback Sock Anode is placed alongside the pipeline withsuitable lengths of cable at each end of the loop allowed for termination into a junction box.
ELGARD™ Anode ribbon mesh is composed of a precious metal oxide catalyst sintered to an expanded Titaniummesh substrate. The Anode Ribbon Mesh is used as a key component in the Cathodic Protection of ReinforcedConcrete Structures.

MIXED METAL OXIDERIBBON MESH CANISTER ANODES
IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION DATASHEET 2.2.6
MESH STRIP ANODES are manufactured using titanium expanded mesh substrate, which meets ASTM B265 Grade 1 or 2 standards
MESH STRIP ANODES are 1.25" wide x 48" long and are rated 5 Amps for a 20 year design life in calcined petroleumcoke. The MESH STRIP ANODE can be packaged in a spiral wound, galvanized steel canister or a fabric sleeve.
Anode size and rating is calculated as follows,
• Max Operating current density of anode = 100A/m2
• Titanium Surface Area of 1.25” (32mm) Width x 48” (1220mm) Length Strip Mesh Anode = 0.05m2
• Titanium is coated with a proprietary MMO coating with a sufficient loading to last a minimum of 20 years at the specified current density.
• Surface area of anode is 0.05m2 and at current density of 100mA/m2 gives output 5A for minimum 20 years (orequivalent of 100 Amp/years at max current density of 100A/m2)
CABLE TYPES & CONNECTIONSAnodes are factory assembled with a fully encapsulated cable connection.
Method of Connection : A stud bolt is passed through the mesh onto which a suitably sized cable lug is placed and thentightened with nuts and steel washers to create an electrical connection between mesh anode and cable. Electricalresistance test performed : Maximum connection resistance of 0.001 Ohm
Connection encapsulated with heat shrink sleeve

IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION DATASHEET 2.3.1
APPLICATIONPlain graphite anodes are used in dry soil conditions installed in groundbeds containing compacted carbonaceousbackfill. Linseed oil impregnated anodes can be used in moist saline soils, in fresh and brackish water, and forseawater applications. Graphite anodes can be installed as horizontal or deepwell groundbeds to protect buriedpipelines or due to their lightweight nature they can be suspended into the electrolyte to protect water tank internalsurfaces or marine structures.
Cathodic Protection Co Ltd graphite anodes are manufactured in two standard sizes - 3” dia up to 60” long & 4”dia up to 80” long. There are two types of graphite anodes - plain & linseed oil impregnated.

PLATINISED TITANIUM ANODES
IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION DATASHEET 2.3.3
APPLICATION• Underwater steel structures - Wharves, jetties, sheet pile walls and piers. Usually rod type anodes distributed
throughout the structure to be protected to give a good overall protective current distribution. Anodes should beinstalled in areas not liable to cause Anode damage i.e. out of the way of berthing vessels, mooring ropes, chains etc.
• Exterior protection of ships hulls - anodes in the shape of plates, discs or strips. Housed in chlorine resistant plastic asthe anode operates at high current densities in seawater which produces chlorine.
• Water tank internal protection - usually distributed rod anodes are used for this type of installation by suspending fromthe tank roof.
• Internal protection of plant - large diameter water pipelines such as cooling water can be protected using rod or wireshaped anodes.
PLATINISED TITANIUM ANODE DATA
Platinised Titanium anodes are manufactured from a commercially pure titanium substrate plated with a very thin coatingof platinum. The titanium serves simply as the anode body and the conductor, the active anode element being theplatinum coating.
The usual thickness of the platinum coating is approximately 2.5 microns, however, this coating thickness should beincreased to 5.0 microns for harsher environments. The base metal is available in a wide variety of standard shapes -rods, tubes, mesh, etc - which can be fabricated into non-metallic mounts for attachment to the structure to becathodically protected.
The thickness of the platinum coating and the current density at which the anode is operated determine the useful lifeof the anode. The maximum voltage at the anode to electrolyte interface should not exceed 8 Volts in electrolytescontaining chloride as voltages greater than this value could cause local corrosion on any unplatinised portions ofthe anode.
Platinised titanium anodes should not be used in electrolytes containing fluoride as titanium oxide dissolves in fluoride.Anodic passivation does not protect the titanium substrate in such electrolytes.
The advantage of platinised titanium anodes is that they can be operated at high current densities with very lowconsumption rates.

CABLE HALAR/HMWPE
IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION DATASHEET 2.6.6
APPLICATIONHALAR/HMWPE cable is designed for anode lead wires in a wide range of environments. Due to its dual insulationconstruction, it can be installed directly in native soils or submerged in fresh, brackish, or salt waters. The cable is idealfor deep anode bed installations where chlorine and hydrogen gases are generated. The HALAR insulation will notembrittle at temperatures down to (-80F) and will maintain dimensional stability and dielectric strength at temperaturesup to 250F. It is highly resistant to notch propagation.
One of the major causes of deep anode failures is the failure of cable insulation. This is especially evident in areas wherebrackish water is present in the ground. In this environment, anodes generate reactive gases such as chlorine andnacent oxygen. These gases cause rapid deterioration of conventional HMWPE insulation.
Cathodic protection cable insulated with HALAR fluoropolymer, is especially suited for deep anode lead wires. HALARfluoropolymer is inert to reactive compounds and has an outstanding ability to prevent the passage of gases. Laboratoryand field evaluations indicate that HALAR fluoropolymer insulated lead wire can extend the life of deep anodeinstallations. The cable is composed of stranded copper wire covered by two layers of insulation. The outer insulationlayer is made from high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE). It exhibits superior dielectric and tensile strength, andprovides mechanical protection to the cable.
The material is also resistant to water intrusion and is not affected by most organic or inorganic substances. The inneror primary insulation is composed of HALAR, a fluoropolymer. This insulating material demonstrates exceptional chemicalresistance. In the presence of chlorine, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or other strong oxidizing agents the materialremains stable. Further, it will not deteriorate when exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons which are encountered innumerous cathodic protection applications.
The dual extrusion HALAR cable is made specifically for cathodic protection applications. It can withstand considerableabuse during installation.
Conductor : Stranded bare copper conductor conforms to ASTM Specification B-3 and B-8.
Insulation : A homogeneous wall of natural ECTFE fluoropolymer (HALAR) shall be extruded over the conductor.
