DISTRIBUTED CURRENT ANODE ENGINEERING
HELE TITANIUM
Engineering
Designed for applications where protective current must be spread over a long area.
Available as MMO wire, MMO ribbon, mesh ribbon, or project-specific linear structures.
Current output per meter can be reviewed according to environment and design life target.
Suitable for tank bottom CP, reinforced concrete CP, pipeline corridors, and long structures.
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 |
Different linear anode forms are used for different installation layouts, current distribution needs, and structural environments. Hele Titanium can support standard and custom linear MMO anodes according to project requirements.
Flexible coated titanium wire for embedded, distributed, and compact linear current output systems.
Flat MMO titanium ribbon for tank bottom, concrete, and long-area cathodic protection systems.
Open mesh linear structure for larger contact area and distributed current output.
Drawing-based MMO linear anode assemblies with custom length, connection, cable, and packaging.
MMO linear anodes are selected when the protected structure requires distributed current over a long or wide area. The final anode form should be selected according to the environment, current demand, installation method, and expected service life.

Start MMO Linear Anode ReviewFor 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.
Determines how much protective current the linear anode must deliver along its length.
Soil, concrete, seawater, freshwater, and industrial electrolytes may require different design reviews.
Longer service expectations may require different coating loading and current density review.
Cable sealing, termination, and electrical continuity are important for long-area installations.
MMO linear anode quality depends on titanium substrate condition, coating application, coating coverage, current output design, connection quality, dimensional accuracy, and final documentation.
Titanium wire, ribbon, mesh, or custom substrate is reviewed according to grade, size, and surface condition.
Cleaning, roughening, activation, and pre-treatment are controlled before coating.
Coating formulation, application cycles, drying, and thermal treatment are controlled according to project requirements.
Length, width, diameter, connection, cable, label, and termination details are reviewed according to drawings.
Coated area, surface condition, coating coverage, and visual appearance are reviewed according to inspection scope.
MTC, coating record, inspection notes, labels, packing list, and project-specific documents can be prepared when required.
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.
