3. Mixed Metal Oxide Anode
Mixed metal oxide anode is composed of titanium substrate (ASTM B265, first grade titanium) and a layer of metal oxides (Ru, Ir, Ti metal oxide) with electro catalytic activity covered on the titanium substrate. The oxide coating polarization is small and the consumption rate is very low. By adjusting the composition of the oxide layer, the oxide layer can be adapted to different environments such as sea water, fresh water, soil medium. As the mixed metal oxide anode has the advantages than other anodes do not have, it has become the most ideal and the most promising auxiliary anode material.
Application
In sea water, the main anode product is Cl2; In soil, fresh water, brackish water, sea water, the main anode product is O2 or Cl2 or both two.
Mixed Metal Oxide anodes are mainly divided into four types:
Metal oxide anode has a variety of shapes such as linear, rod, tube, strip, disc and mesh. It is selected according to actual use.

4. Deep Well Anode
Implementing Standard: SY/T0096-2000
Main Performance: long service life, convenient installation, small grounding resistance, large discharge capacity and so on.
Application: It used in deep well anode ground bed cathodic protection system
4. Anode flex (Flexible Anode)
A. Electric Conductive Polymer Anode flex/ MMO Anode flex
Anode flex (Flexible Anode) is the core component of the cathodic protection system. It is a linear, flexible and carbon based anode system, being installed in the pipeline, tanks, or other protected structure nearby, and connected to the anode which is connected with external power supply, while the oil tank and pipeline are connceted to the negative electrode of the external power supply to form a circuit. After power on, the right amount of protection current can be evenly dispersed through the wire to each part so that the protected body is fully protected.
Anode flex system is composed of 6 AWG copper wire, conductive polymer, pure activated carbon, acid resistant material layer, woven protection net and other basic units.

B. Copper Cable Core Anode flex
Copper cable core: used as current conductor, the cable type anode has good flexibility, strong resistance to mechanical damage and good chemical stability. With 12.7 mm outside diameter of cable and 11.4 mm2 sectional area of internal copper core wire, the resistance of unit lenght R’ is 2mΩ.m-1. Flexble anode is mainly used for the cathodic protection of buried pipeline and tank bottom.
The application of flexible anode successfully resolves the problem of old pipeline cathodic protection and also can generally solve the difficulty of some conventional cathodic protection technology such as interference of external structure, the inimplement tation of cathodic protection problems in high resistivity envitonment medium, cathodic protection current distribution at tank bottom.
Generally flexible anode has the following components: copper core, conductive polymer anode materials, coke residue, basketwork and so on.
