CerAnode Rod Assembly (CRA)

CerAnode’s CRA CerAnode Rod Assembly is a factory-assembled MMO mixed-metal-oxide rod anode designed for impressed-current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems. Its titanium substrate and ceramic MMO coating deliver high-performance corrosion resistance and long life.

With ultra-low connection resistance and rugged factory terminations, the CRA simplifies the installation of high-performance anode systems.

Ideal for pipeline anode systems, marine cathodic protection anodes, tanks, and groundbed anode systems, this assembly supports reliable protection in infrastructure applications

Key Features & Benefits

Durability & Long Life

The ceramic-activated titanium anode substrate supports long-life MMO anodes, rugged in harsh media.
Ultra-low electrical connection resistance (<100 µΩ) from factory-swaged or plasma-sprayed termination ensures efficient performance.

Ease of Installation & Quality Assurance

Factory-assembled anode assemblies minimize field connections and reduce installation risk for installers.
Compatible with standard cable insulation types and configuration options for custom cathodic protection design.

Versatility & Application-Ready

Designed for use in ICCP systems covering pipelines, tanks, marine/offshore, and deep-well applications.
Delivers dependable current distribution for long-term pipeline corrosion prevention and infrastructure protection.

Typical Applications

Buried or submerged pipelines requiring long-term impressed current protection
Above-ground storage tanks and other tank cathodic protection systems
Offshore and marine platforms needing rugged corrosion-resistant solutions

Installation & Accessories

Backfill: Use a high-quality low-resistivity Loresco® Coke backfill when deploying in ground beds or open-holes.
Ventilation: Ensure vent piping for open-hole installations to control any gas evolution if present.
