What is MMO Tubular Taitanium Anode
The Mmo Tubular Taitanium Anode is a highly efficient and reliable anode used in various industries for cathodic protection applications. It is designed to provide long-lasting corrosion resistance while offering exceptional performance.
It is made of a titanium substrate coated with a mixed metal oxide (MMO) catalyst. This catalyst ensures a stable and consistent current distribution during operation, reducing corrosion and extending the anode's lifespan.
Working Principle and Chemical Performance
The anode operates on the principle of galvanic corrosion, where the MMO catalyst promotes the electrochemical reaction between the anode and the surrounding environment. This reaction creates an electric current that protects the target structure from corrosion.
System Composition and Detailed Structure
The Mmo Tubular Titanium Anode consists of a titanium tube with a coated MMO catalyst. The anode is typically installed within a concrete or soil environment, allowing it to protect structures such as pipelines, storage tanks, and reinforced concrete.

Key Features and Advantages
● High corrosion resistance
● Long lifespan
● Uniform current distribution
● Easy installation
● Low maintenance requirements
● Wide range of applications
Application
Mixed metal oxide (MMO) coated tubular titanium anodes have emerged as an important technology for corrosion prevention across industrial infrastructure sectors like oil and gas, water supply, chemical/petrochemical, and marine transport.
● Oil and gas pipelines
A major application is cathodic protection for underground pipelines and tanks in the oil and gas industry. MMO-coated titanium tubes buried adjacent to assets like transmission pipelines and brine injection lines provide protective current flows that neutralize corrosion elements in the surrounding soil/water.
● Water treatment facilities
At water treatment plants, MMO Tubular Anode installed in water clarifiers, tanks, and pipelines supply protective current to counteract corrosion stemming from water chemistry, microbial activity, or soil contact. This safeguards buried assets and prevents contaminants from leaching due to corrosion damage.
● Chemical storage tanks
In the chemical industry, MMO titanium tubulars act as auxiliary anodes for above-ground storage tanks containing acids, solvents or other corrosive chemicals. This provides a protective current to shielded tank areas vulnerable to corrosion, maintaining tank integrity and preventing leaks or failures.
● Reinforced concrete structures
For reinforced concrete structures like pilings, piers, and wharfs in marine environments, MMO titanium anodes embedded within the concrete matrix during construction generate protective currents to reinforce steel rebar against chloride-induced corrosion stemming from seawater exposure. This prevents costly structural degradation.
● Marine structures
Lastly, MMO titanium tubular anodes deliver excellent performance for protecting submerged assets on ships, offshore platforms, and port structures from seawater corrosion. Their tubular profile can be integrated into complex marine structures.
In summary, MMO titanium tubular anodes offer versatile, highly engineered corrosion prevention across critical infrastructure assets like pipelines, chemical tanks, water treatment systems, and marine structures. As infrastructure ages globally, MMO tubulars will see increasing prominence to combat corrosion threats and sustain asset integrity.
