Corrosion doesn't stop at the surface. It attacks pipelines underground, structures underwater, tanks from the inside out, and critical infrastructure exposed to constantly changing environments.
CerAnode™ Technologies provides advanced impressed current cathodic protection solutions engineered for these demanding applications. From buried pipelines and deep anode beds to marine structures and water infrastructure, our EMMO™-coated anodes are designed to deliver reliable current distribution and long-term performance where corrosion protection matters most.
Oil & Gas
Protecting Critical Pipeline Infrastructure
Oil and gas infrastructure operates across some of the most demanding environments in the world. Buried pipelines face constantly changing soil conditions, while offshore and coastal assets contend with seawater, marine exposure, and challenging installation environments.
CerAnode™ provides impressed current cathodic protection anodes engineered for both onshore and offshore oil and gas infrastructure, helping operators maintain reliable corrosion control across extensive pipeline networks and associated facilities.
Engineered for the Environment
CerAnode™ anode configurations can be tailored to the installation depth, electrolyte conditions, current requirements, and available space. EMMO™ coating technology provides an enhanced, mechanically durable coating solution for demanding ICCP applications.
Applications
- Onshore transmission and gathering pipelines
- Offshore and subsea pipelines
- Deep anode bed systems
- Shallow anode bed systems
- Horizontal anode installations
- Marine jetties and terminals
- Pipeline crossings
- Tank farms and associated infrastructure
- Pipeline test stations and CP monitoring systems
Protect the pipeline. Protect the investment.

Corrosion Protection Where Steel Meets the Electrolyte
Above-ground storage tanks, process vessels, and internal water systems can experience significant corrosion at surfaces exposed to water and other conductive electrolytes.
CerAnode™ provides compact and application-specific anode solutions for tank bottoms, double-bottom tanks, vessel interiors, and internal water tanks, helping provide reliable impressed current cathodic protection where conventional corrosion control methods may not be enough.
Designed Around the Tank
Every tank presents different geometric and operating conditions. CerAnode™ works with customers to select anode configurations based on tank dimensions, electrolyte characteristics, required current output, and installation requirements.
Our compact RPA and other EMMO™ anode designs provide flexible solutions for confined spaces where durability and reliable current distribution are critical.
Applications
- Above-ground storage tank (AST) bottoms
- Double-bottom tanks
- Tank annular areas
- Internal water tanks
- Process vessels
- Water storage tanks
- Fire water tanks
- Industrial storage systems
- Vessel interiors
- Contained fluid systems
Engineered protection from the bottom up.

Protecting the Infrastructure Behind Essential Water Systems
Locks, dams, intake structures, valves, and piping systems are exposed to aggressive water environments that can accelerate corrosion and compromise critical infrastructure.
CerAnode™ provides impressed current cathodic protection solutions for water infrastructure and civil structures, helping extend asset life and reduce the impact of corrosion on critical components.
Built for Water
From freshwater to seawater, CerAnode™ anodes can be engineered around the specific electrolyte and operating environment. EMMO™ technology combines the electrochemical performance required for ICCP with enhanced mechanical durability for demanding service conditions.
For intake screens, valves, piping, and other confined components, compact anode configurations can provide targeted protection without requiring major modifications to existing infrastructure.
Applications
- Locks and lock gates
- Dams
- Water intake structures
- Intake screens
- Water treatment infrastructure
- Cooling-water systems
- Valves
- Internal pipe surfaces
- Water boxes
- Pumps and associated equipment
- Hydroelectric infrastructure
- Marine and freshwater civil structures

Protection Beyond the Surface
Some of the most critical infrastructure is also the hardest to access.
Buried and submerged metallic structures are continuously exposed to electrolytes that can promote corrosion. Once installed, cathodic protection systems may be expected to operate reliably for years with limited opportunities for maintenance or replacement.
CerAnode™ develops anode solutions for underground and underwater cathodic protection applications, providing reliable current output for structures operating in soil, freshwater, brackish water, and seawater.
Engineered for Long-Term Performance
CerAnode™ offers a range of anode configurations for permanent, temporary, submerged, and buried installations. Reference electrodes and monitoring solutions can be integrated into CP systems to provide continuous information about structure-to-electrolyte potential and system performance.
Applications
- Buried metallic structures
- Underground pipelines
- Submerged pipelines
- Marine structures
- Offshore platforms
- Ship and vessel systems
- Piers and marine terminals
- Subsea infrastructure
- Buried tanks
- Water infrastructure
- Underground storage systems
- General impressed current cathodic protection systems
When the structure is difficult to reach, the protection must be dependable.
Explore Anode SolutionsOne Technology. Multiple Environments.
From a pipeline buried hundreds of feet underground to a structure submerged in seawater, cathodic protection systems face vastly different operating conditions.
CerAnode's™ EMMO™ technology provides a common foundation for engineering anodes across these environments.
Experience That Goes Beyond the Coating.
CerAnode™ combines 40+ years of cathodic protection experience with more than 50 years of plasma spray expertise.
Our EMMO™ technology builds on traditional MMO anode technology by applying advanced plasma spray expertise to create a more mechanically durable coating system.
The technology incorporates technology transferred from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, bringing government-developed innovation into commercial cathodic protection applications.
And because our anodes are sourced and manufactured in the USA, we maintain greater control over materials, manufacturing, quality, and supply.
