MMO ANodes ( Mixed Metal Oxide Anode )

MMO anodes are made up of two parts of base metal and coating. Titanium is used as a base metal because of required properties to absorb coating in order to stand against aggressive chemical environments. Also, it is suitable for flow transfer. Other advantages of titanium are its use in various shapes, including pipe, ribbon, wire, mesh and plate.
Coating of MMO anodes is very thin layer (few microns) so that it can be applied on the base metal in a variety of ways. Depending on the application, this coating can be a combination of two or more metal oxides such as oxides of iridium, tantalum, ruthenium and titanium

the additional potential for releasing chlorine and anodic oxygen decreases significantly By applying this coating as an activating agent, since Catalytic coating of MMO anode produces a slight resistance for anode which causes to lower consumption rate by considering the life time of anode. MMO anodes have a very low consumption rate of less than 1 mg / A.Year depending on environmental conditions and application.

 

Microscopic structure of coating of MMO anodes

 

The maximum output current density and lifetime of MMO anodes in differnet environmental conditions are as follows:

generally, MMO anodes have the following benefits:
• Easy to use
• Possibility of manufacturing anodes with different shapes
• Easy to Handle and Install
• Light weight
• High Output current
• Long lifetime of anode in very high current density
• Dimensional stability
• Ability to renewing of anode coating
• Reliability
These anodes are used in imperessed current cathodic protection systems in order to prevent corrosion of metal structures. The most common application of these anodes is the maintenance and repairment of some structures such as bridges, marine structures, offshore platforms, storage tanks, buried pipelines in soil or immersed in

.water and concrete structures

:The most common shapes of cathodic protection MMO anodes in bronagodaz are as follows

• Tubular MMO anodes

.Tubular MMO anodes are used for cathodic protection of buried metal structures in soil (directly or together with carbon backfill) or immersed in water

thickness	(0.025 in) 0.635 mm
Coil lenght	100 m
Weight lenght	1.5 kg
Region surface of ribbon	0.014m2 Per/m

 

 

• • Mesh-Ribbon MMO Anodes

Mesh-Ribbon MMO anodes are used to cathodic protection of concrete structures. Titanium substrate of These anodes are choosed on the requirements 

• Wire MMO anodes

Titanium substrate of These anodes are based on the requirements according to ASTM B863 Grade 1 or 2. The output current of wire MMO anodes according to their dimensions are as follows:

•      
  • Mesh MMO anodes

Mesh mmo anodes are usually used to cathodic protection of concrete structures.
Also, BORNA Godaz company has the ability to manufacture various types of MMO anodes according to customer enquiry such as disc, probe, plate and etc.

It should be noted that probe anodes are used in impressed current cathodic protection systems for water boxes, internal surfaces of pipelines, vessels and other industrial applications.

Also, Several common experiments are carried out on mixed metal oxide anodes in our company by corrosion experts, which are as follows:
Eye Examination Test, Electrochemical Test according to NACE TM-0108 and IGS-M-TP22 standard, Galvanic Potential Test according to ASTM-G 71, Pilot cathodic protection test, Electrical resistance of joint position , Investigation of MMO coating adhesion to titanium substrate according to ASTM-D 3359 and IGS-M-TP22 standard.

      

 

BORNA Godaz company is proud to receiving credible certificates in the field of quality assurance and sales of mixed metal oxide anodes from various companies and laboratories such as: National Iranian Gas Co., Iranian Offshore Oil Co., Pars Oil & Gas Co., Amir Kabir Color Research Co., Corrosion Laboratory of Tarbiat Modarres University, Iranian corrosion association and etc.
