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.
