Impressed current anodes
Long-life anodes for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems on pipelines, tanks, marine structures and reinforced concrete.
MMO, platinised, high-silicon iron, graphite and polymer anodes.
In an impressed current system, a transformer-rectifier drives protective current from inert or slowly consumed anodes into the soil or water and onto the steel. Because the current comes from a power supply rather than from the anode metal itself, a few anodes can protect very large structures for many years.
We supply the main ICCP anode technologies — mixed metal oxide (MMO) coated titanium, platinised titanium and niobium, high-silicon cast iron, graphite and conductive polymer — in tubular, rod, wire, ribbon, mesh, plate and canister forms, together with anodes for deep and shallow groundbeds.

Common questions.
What is the difference between sacrificial and impressed current anodes?
Sacrificial anodes generate their own current by corroding. Impressed current anodes are driven by an external power supply and are consumed very slowly, so fewer anodes can protect larger structures.
What is an MMO anode?
A titanium anode coated with mixed metal oxides. The coating conducts current with a very low consumption rate, making MMO anodes light, compact and long-lasting.
When is a deep well groundbed used?
Where surface space is limited, where there is interference with other structures, or where deeper soil layers have lower resistivity.
Do impressed current systems need maintenance?
Yes. Transformer-rectifiers and system potentials should be monitored regularly, as the system depends on a continuous power supply.
