MMO Ribbon Anode for Tank Bottom & Concrete Protection
Custom MMO coated titanium ribbon anodes engineered for storage tank bottom cathodic protection, reinforced concrete CP, under-tank protection, embedded CP systems, and long-area distributed current output applications.
Flat Linear Current Distribution for Tank Bottom and Concrete CP
MMO ribbon anodes are selected when a flat linear anode is needed to distribute protective current across a long or wide area. They are commonly reviewed for storage tank bottom protection, reinforced concrete cathodic protection, under-tank systems, and embedded electrochemical protection layouts.
Compared with wire anodes, MMO ribbon anodes provide a flat strip geometry that can offer broader contact area and easier layout control in many long-area CP systems. The final design should be reviewed according to soil or concrete resistivity, chloride level, current output requirement, ribbon spacing, installation method, connection design, and design life target.
Hele Titanium supports custom MMO ribbon anodes with project-specific ribbon width, thickness, coated length, coating loading, connection method, packing, labels, and documentation according to cathodic protection project requirements.

What Is an MMO Ribbon Anode?
An MMO ribbon anode is a flat titanium strip coated with mixed metal oxide. It is used as a linear anode for impressed current cathodic protection systems where protective current needs to be distributed along a defined path or across a large protected area.
The ribbon form makes it suitable for applications such as storage tank bottom cathodic protection, reinforced concrete CP, under-tank protection, and embedded electrochemical protection systems. The correct ribbon size and layout depend on current output, installation spacing, environment, design life, and connection requirements.
