MMO Linear Anodes for
Distributed Cathodic Protection
Custom MMO coated titanium linear anodes engineered for continuous current distribution in tank bottom protection, reinforced concrete cathodic protection, pipeline corridors, marine structures, and long-area electrochemical protection systems.
DISTRIBUTED CURRENT ANODE ENGINEERING
Continuous Current Distribution for Long-Area Protection
- MMO linear anodes are selected when current needs to be distributed along a long protected area instead of discharged from one concentrated point. They are commonly reviewed for tank bottoms, reinforced concrete, long pipeline sections, and other structures where uniform current distribution is important.
- Compared with point-type anodes, linear anodes can help spread protective current more evenly across the target area. The final design should be reviewed according to soil or concrete resistivity, electrolyte conditions, required current output, anode spacing, installation method, and design life target.
- Hele Titanium supports MMO linear anode configurations including MMO wire anodes, MMO ribbon anodes, and MMO mesh ribbon anodes, with custom coating, dimensions, connection methods, packing, and documentation according to project requirements.

What Is an MMO Linear Anode?
An MMO linear anode is a continuous or semi-continuous titanium-based anode coated with mixed metal oxide. Instead of acting as a single point current source, it distributes current along its length. This makes it useful for cathodic protection systems where the protected structure is long, flat, wide, or difficult to protect evenly with isolated anodes.
Common MMO linear anode forms include coated titanium wire, coated titanium ribbon, and MMO mesh ribbon. The best form depends on the installation environment, current output requirement, contact area, spacing, mechanical support, and installation method.
| Linear Anode Form | Best For | Key Design Focus |
|---|---|---|
| MMO Wire Anode | Flexible embedded or distributed installations | Wire diameter, coated length, spacing, connection |
| MMO Ribbon Anode | Tank bottoms and long-area cathodic protection | Ribbon width, layout spacing, contact area |
| MMO Mesh Ribbon Anode | Concrete and large-area distributed current output | Mesh opening, surface contact, embedment method |

Start MMO Linear Anode ReviewCoating and Current Output Must Be Reviewed Together
For MMO linear anodes, coating selection is closely related to current output, operating environment, resistivity, and design life target. A linear anode with the same physical size may require different coating loading or connection design depending on whether it is used in soil, concrete, seawater, or another electrochemical environment.
1. Current Output per Meter
Determines how much protective current the linear anode must deliver along its length.
2. Operating Environment
Soil, concrete, seawater, freshwater, and industrial electrolytes may require different design reviews.
3. Design Life Target
Longer service expectations may require different coating loading and current density review.
4. Connection Reliability
Cable sealing, termination, and electrical continuity are important for long-area installations.
Quality Control for MMO Linear Anodes
MMO linear anode quality depends on titanium substrate condition, coating application, coating coverage, current output design, connection quality, dimensional accuracy, and final documentation.

Installation Considerations for MMO Linear Anodes
Proper installation helps MMO linear anodes deliver distributed current more effectively. Anode spacing, cable routing, contact environment, fixing method, and mechanical protection should be reviewed before installation.
| Installation Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Anode Spacing | Affects current distribution and protection uniformity. |
| Cable Routing | Helps maintain electrical continuity and easy system connection. |
| Contact Environment | Soil, concrete, water, or backfill condition affects current transfer. |
| Fixing Method | Supports stable placement during installation and operation. |
| Mechanical Protection | Helps reduce damage during handling, burial, embedment, or installation. |
| Inspection Access | Useful for future system review and maintenance planning. |
Buyer Note: Linear anode installation should be reviewed together with the full cathodic protection design. Share your layout, current requirement, and operating environment for engineering review.
