LIDA^Ž MMO ANODES

The corrosion of buried or submerged metal structures is a worldwide problem having an economic impact on everyone. It was estimated by the U.S. Department of the interior that Corrosion costs each individual US $ 1,500 per year; 80% of this cost could be saved using currently known technology until now, the anodes available to the corrosion engineer offered a compromise between high weight, difficulty in handling, life and cost. LIDAŽ anodes have solved these problems and are the most cost effective, easy to install and reliable anode solutions.

LIDA^Ž Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) coated titanium anodes are based on electrode technology development in the early 1960's for industrial production of chlorine and caustic soda. This technology has been progressively extended into the field of cathodic protection.

The history of LIDA anodes in the cathodic protection industry dates back to a jetty in Italy protected with 24 LIDA rod anodes in 1971; since then, several thousand LIDAŽ anodes have been installed around the world with similar excellent results. There are currently over 14,000 deep, horizontal and shallow groundbed installations, with more being installed each day
