Application
It finds applications in various industries, including:
Mixed metal oxide (MMO) canister anodes have become an important cathodic protection technology to mitigate corrosion across industrial infrastructure sectors like oil/gas, marine transport, chemical facilities, and municipal assets.
Oil and gas
A major application is safeguarding buried pipelines in the oil and gas industry. It is buried adjacent to underground pipelines and provides protective current flows that counter pipeline corrosion from soil elements. This sustains pipeline integrity and prevents leaks or failures.
Marine structures
In marine settings, It is fastened to the submerged sections of ships, offshore rigs, and port structures to generate cathodic protection current to protect against seawater corrosion damage to propellers, rudders, mooring devices, and other underwater assets.
Above-ground storage tanks
For above-ground storage tanks containing corrosive substances like brine or acids, Mixed metal oxide canister anodes attached to tank surfaces neutralize external corrosion by supplying protective current to shielded areas. This maintains tank integrity and prevents environmental contamination.
Water treatment facilities
At water and wastewater plants, It is installed in clarifiers, sludge collectors, and pipelines to provide corrosion protection for buried steel assets vulnerable to corrosion from moisture and microbial activity. This prevents asset degradation and the leaching of contaminants.
Reinforced concrete structures
In reinforced concrete structures like piers, pilings, and bridges, Mixed metal oxide canister anodes embedded during construction deliver a protective current that reinforces steel rebar from corrosion promoted by chloride penetration. This prevents costly structural repairs.
With its robust design and mounting versatility, It offers flexible integration for corrosion protection across key infrastructure. As assets age worldwide, MMO canisters will see expanded usage to combat corrosion threats in critical marine and onshore applications.
