Overview
The CerAnode™ Power Rod is a high-performance EMMO™ (Enhanced Mixed-Metal Oxide) tubular anode engineered for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems across demanding environments. Designed for deep, shallow, and horizontal anode beds, as well as naturally immersed applications, it delivers consistent current output and long-term durability.
Manufactured using APS’s proprietary arc plasma spray process, the EMMO™ coating forms a dense, strongly bonded surface on a titanium substrate. This advanced surface architecture provides superior abrasion resistance, exceptional dimensional stability, and extended service life in aggressive installation conditions, including open-hole deployments.
