Overview
The CerAnode™ Linear Anode (PBL) is a continuous MMO (mixed-metal oxide) anode engineered for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems requiring close-proximity, distributed current delivery. Installed parallel to the structure, it provides uniform current output across long runs and complex geometries.
Constructed with a titanium-based core and advanced MMO coating, the PBL delivers stable electrochemical performance, low consumption, and extended service life. Its continuous, cable-like geometry minimizes groundbed resistance and improves overall system efficiency.
Factory-configured and delivered ready for installation, the CerAnode™ Linear Anode enables simplified deployment and consistent performance in applications where discrete anodes are impractical or where precise current control is required.
