ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) is a corrosion protection technology widely used in metal structures. It applies an external current to the surface of the metal structure to reduce or eliminate corrosion of the metal structure.
How does the impressed current anode work?
Impressed current cathodic protection is a very effective method to resist corrosion. This technique requires the application of current from an external source, usually using an impressed current anode.
Cathodic protection is carried out by an electrochemical process in which a direct current is applied to the ICCP anode and electrons are subsequently released onto the metal surface to inhibit corrosion. This method can be very effective in protecting metals from corrosion, whether they are submerged or buried.
Impressed current cathodic protection systems work by connecting the ICCP anode and cathode to a direct current (DC) power supply. The impressed current anode is connected directly to the metal structure to be protected, while the cathode is grounded. After the DC power supply is started, a small amount of current flows through the anode and cathode, creating a potential difference between them. This potential difference causes an electrochemical reaction at the impressed current anode, resulting in the release of electrons into the metal. These electrons then interact with the metal surface to form a protective layer that prevents further corrosion.
ICCP MMO titanium anode tube
The ICCP MMO titanium anode tube, also known as a mixed metal oxide tubular anode, is a specially designed anode that features a titanium substrate coated with a conductive and electrocatalytic active metal oxide. These anodes exhibit excellent versatility and are suitable for use in a variety of environments, including fresh water, salt water, soil and seawater.
MMO Titanium anode tubes offer an excellent alternative to traditional high silicon cast iron anodes in a variety of applications.
