Overview
The CerAnode™ Linear Anode in Coke Sock (PBL-CS) is a continuous MMO (mixed-metal oxide) anode engineered for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems requiring close-proximity, low-resistance current distribution. Packaged within a conductive carbon backfill sleeve, it provides enhanced groundbed contact and uniform current output across extended lengths.
Constructed with a titanium-based core and advanced MMO coating, the PBL-CS delivers stable electrochemical performance, low consumption, and extended service life. The integrated coke breeze backfill forms a conductive column that reduces circuit resistance and improves system efficiency in both soil and submerged environments.
Factory-configured and ready for installation, the CerAnode™ PBL-CS enables simplified deployment and consistent performance in applications where precise current control and low groundbed resistance are critical.
