Cathodic Protection Anodes for ICCP & Sacrificial Systems
HELE manufactures and supplies cathodic protection anodes for pipelines, tanks, marine structures, reinforced concrete and groundbed systems, covering MMO and HSCI impressed-current anodes together with zinc, magnesium and aluminum sacrificial anodes.
Share the protected structure, operating environment, current requirement, design-life target, installation method and applicable project specification.
ICCP or Sacrificial Anodes? Start with the Protection Method
Cathodic-protection anode selection should begin with the protection method, protected structure, operating environment and required electrical duty—not with an anode material name alone.
ICCP Anodes
Impressed-current cathodic protection uses an external DC power source to deliver controlled protection current through engineered anodes. Final anode selection depends on required current, environment, anode geometry, installation configuration and design-life basis.
- External DC Power
- Controlled / Adjustable Current
- MMO · HSCI · Other Project-Specified ICCP Technologies
- Groundbed · Tank · Pipeline · Marine · Concrete
Sacrificial Anodes
Sacrificial cathodic protection uses a galvanically active metal anode that supplies protective current without an external rectifier and gradually consumes during service.
- No External Rectifier
- Zinc · Magnesium · Aluminum
- Alloy-Specific Driving Potential & Capacity
- Marine · Soil · Freshwater · Asset-Specific Forms
Final system selection also depends on current requirement, electrolyte resistivity or conductivity, external power availability, coating condition, control requirements, installation access, maintenance strategy, project design life and lifecycle requirements.
ICCP Anode Families for Controlled Cathodic Protection
HELE supports multiple impressed-current anode technologies and installation configurations. Use this section to select the correct ICCP branch before reviewing individual anode forms.
Representative MMO titanium anode form — see MMO Hub for complete product selection.
MMO Titanium Anodes
MMO-coated titanium anodes are available in multiple active-electrode and packaged forms for soil, water, concrete, marine and distributed-current ICCP applications.
High Silicon Cast Iron Anodes
HSCI anodes can be reviewed for selected soil, freshwater and groundbed ICCP projects where high-silicon cast iron is specified by the cathodic-protection design.

Powered Anode Rod
Powered anode rod assemblies are a separate active corrosion-protection product family for specific equipment or tank applications and should not be confused with industrial MMO Rod Anodes.

If the project requirement is defined by the protected structure rather than an anode model, continue through the ICCP application and installation pages.
Sacrificial Anodes by Alloy & Installation Form
Zinc, magnesium and aluminum sacrificial anodes provide different galvanic characteristics and should be selected according to the electrolyte, protected structure, required capacity, installation geometry and project specification.
Aluminum Sacrificial Anodes
Aluminum-alloy sacrificial anodes can be reviewed for marine, offshore, vessel and other submerged applications according to alloy specification, operating environment, anode weight, mounting and design-life requirements.
View Aluminum Anodes
Zinc Sacrificial Anodes
Zinc-alloy sacrificial anodes can be reviewed for selected seawater, brackish-water, marine and vessel applications where zinc material and operating potential are specified.
View Zinc Anodes
Magnesium Sacrificial Anodes
Magnesium-alloy sacrificial anodes can be reviewed for soil, freshwater, buried structures and other applications requiring higher galvanic driving potential according to project conditions.

Cathodic Protection Anodes Built Around Your Project Conditions
Anode selection should start from the protected structure and service environment—not from a product name alone. HELE reviews the relevant anode family, material, form, electrical duty, connection and installation requirements before quotation.

Material, Anode & Connection Verification
Inspection should be defined according to the selected anode family and the agreed purchase, drawing and ITP requirements. MMO, HSCI and sacrificial-alloy products do not necessarily use the same inspection methods.
Material Verification
Titanium substrates, sacrificial alloys, HSCI material and other project materials are reviewed against the agreed purchase specification and available material documentation.
Dimensional Inspection
Anode dimensions, inserts, mounting interfaces, active geometry and assembly dimensions can be inspected against the approved drawing and purchase requirements.
Coating / Alloy Verification
MMO coating or sacrificial-alloy verification can be performed according to the confirmed product specification and an agreed product-appropriate inspection method.
Connection & Assembly Inspection
Cable connections, sealing, terminals, welded interfaces, inserts, identification and project-specific electrical checks can be reviewed according to the agreed inspection scope.
