Overview
The CerAnode™ WST Vertical Water Tank Anode is an impressed-current cathodic protection (ICCP) system engineered for suspended installation inside vertical water storage tanks. Using MMO-coated titanium anode technology, the system delivers uniform current distribution throughout the water column to protect tank walls, weld seams, and submerged steel surfaces from corrosion.
Designed for long-term reliability, the WST Vertical system features factory-prepared terminations, corrosion-resistant materials, and configurable suspension assemblies for dependable operation in potable water, process water, brackish water, and marine environments. Its vertical configuration provides consistent polarization at all tank elevations, making it ideal for tanks where floor-mounted systems cannot adequately protect sidewall surfaces.
Key Features & Benefits
Uniform Vertical Current Distribution
Delivers consistent polarization from top to bottom of the tank to protect walls, seams, welds, and submerged structural surfaces.
MMO-Coated Titanium Construction
Mixed-metal-oxide coated titanium provides excellent electrochemical stability, low consumption rates, and extended ICCP service life.
Factory-Assembled Suspension System
Pre-terminated leads and suspension hardware reduce field installation time and improve connection reliability.
Corrosion & Biofouling Resistance
Engineered for continuous immersion in potable water, freshwater, brackish water, and marine environments.
Configurable System Design
Available in multiple wire diameters, current ratings, cable types, and suspension lengths to match project-specific tank geometries and protection requirements.
Typical Applications
- Vertical potable water storage tanks
- Industrial and process water tanks
- Fire suppression and standpipe tanks
- Retrofit ICCP systems for existing storage tanks
- Marine and brackish-water storage applications
Installation & Accessories
Roof or Manway Mounting
Designed for suspension from tank roofs, manways, or structural mounting brackets using factory-prepared hardware assemblies.
Low-Resistance Connections
Factory-terminated lead cables and watertight connections support reliable integration with rectifiers and ICCP monitoring systems.
Optional Weighting & Stabilization
Optional weights and tensioning components maintain proper vertical alignment and prevent contact with tank walls.
Monitoring System Integration
Compatible with reference electrodes, junction boxes, test stations, and remote monitoring platforms for continuous CP verification.
Custom Configurations Available
Available in custom lengths, current outputs, cable types, insulation options, and mounting assemblies to meet project-specific requirements.

No two cathodic protection systems are identical. Tell us the current requirement, electrolyte and installation constraints and we will configure the anode around them.
CerAnode™ Piggyback™ Tank Bottom Anode System (PBT)
The CerAnode™ PBT PiggyBack™ Tank Bottom System is a continuous MMO linear anode system engineered for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) of aboveground storage tank (AST) bottoms. Designed for close-proximity deployment, the system delivers uniform current distribution beneath the tank floor for reliable corrosion protection and extended asset life.
CerAnode™ Horizontal Water Tank Anode (WST-H)
The CerAnode™ WST Horizontal Water Tank Anode System is engineered for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) of horizontal steel water storage tanks. Utilizing MMO-coated titanium linear anodes, the system delivers uniform current distribution across the tank floor and walls for reliable long-term corrosion protection.
