For larger structures, galvanic anodes cannot economically deliver enough current to provide complete protection. Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems use anodes connected to a DC power source (a cathodic protection rectifier). Anodes for ICCP systems are tubular and solid rod shapes or continuous ribbons of various specialized materials. These include high silicon cast iron, graphite, mixed metal oxide, platinum and niobium coated wire and others.

Siemens Water Technologies offers custom, state-of-the-art electrodes (anodes) and electrocatalytic coating to the electrochemical industry. In addition to manufacturing anodes for electroplating, electrogalvanizing, electrotining and electrochemical manufacture, we can also recoat existing anodes.
