Strip Anode (CAS)

CerAnode’s CAS Strip Anodes are low-profile, surface-mount impressed-current (IC) anodes engineered for reliable cathodic protection of confined and marine structures. They deliver controlled, distributed current for internal piping, valves, lock gates, piers, piles, bulkheads, and power-plant water intakes.

Designed for impact resistance, chemical stability and electrochemical durability, these strip anodes can be tailored in length, current rating and mounting method to meet project requirements with simple cable attachment options.

Key Features & Benefits

Materials & Construction

Composite/EMMO™ Materials: Provide consistent anode output and long life.
Rugged Construction: Resists mechanical damage during installation and service.

Performance

Uniform Current Distribution: Delivers predictable impressed-current distribution for uniform protection.
Scalable Capacity: Strip lengths and spacing can be adjusted to achieve required design amperage.

Durability & Environment

Chemical Resistant: Suitable for fresh water, brackish water, and seawater applications.
Impact & Abrasion Resistance: Withstands flow, debris, and mechanical stresses at intakes and marine structures.

Customization & Mounting

Flexible Mounting Options: Available in surface-mount, plate-mount, and clamp-mount configurations for easy integration.
Custom Lengths & Connectors: Easily modified lengths or connector styles to match project wiring and monitoring needs.

Applications

Internal pipe and valve corrosion protection (surface-mounted anodes)
Locks, dams, and navigation gate protection
Piers, bulkheads, and piles in marine and tidal environments
Power plant water intake structures and cooling system components
Reinforced concrete cathodic protection where distributed surface anodes are required.

Installation & Accessories

Specifications: Confirm design current and strip spacing per CP design drawings and project specs.
Prepare: Clean mounting surface; follow concrete or steel repair specs where required.
Mounting: Fasten strip anodes using specified mechanical mounts or adhesive systems; ensure good electrical contact and strain relief for cables.
Route and Protect Anode cabling to the rectifier/monitoring panel; label terminations and provide test points per project standards.
Monitoring & Commission: Verify system voltages, polarities and protective criteria
