DeNora LIDA MMO Tubular Anode

The mixed metal oxide anode has an extremely low consumption rate, measured in terms of milligrams per ampere-year. As a result of this low consumption rate, the tubular dimensions remain nearly constant during the live of the anode - providing a consistently low resistance anode.

Whether operating in soil, freshwater, mud or sea water, ELTECH LIDA^® mixed metal oxide coatings demonstrate very high chemical stability - even in environments with very low pH values. Unlike other impressed current anodes, the ELTECH LIDA^® coatings are not affected by the generation of chlorine.

Since only a single cable lead protrudes from the hole, the junction box is eliminated when using a LIDA^® string - reducing the cost of materials and labor.

String assemblies are also available in a looped configuration with two tails, or as multiple, staggered strings for system redundancy and maximum current distribution throughout the groundbed.

Like any impressed current anode, proper groundbed design is paramount to optimum, low resistance performance. ELTECH Systems Corporation recommends the use of quality, conductive, carbonaceous backfill, a vent pipe and Ventralizers, suitable cable, and good design practices and understanding.
