PiggyBackMMOAnodeTechnology

CerAnodedevelopedMMOlinearanodetechnologyandassignedthetrademarkPiggyBack
in 1992. The technology is used around the world for applications including tank bottoms,
undergroundvessels,bullettanksandpipelines.ThefirstPiggyBackinstallationwasin1993.
Since that time continuous closeproximity anodetocathode applications have become a
common design approach. In many applications this technology has significant advantages
compared to traditional discrete anode arrangements. The technology provides optimized
current distribution, optimized polarization characteristics, optimized groundbed resistance,
optimized interference mitigation and better than ever power efficiencies. The materials
employed are GREEN in that they are environmentally safe, being inert, benign or
biodegradable. The anodes sock decomposes leaving a conductive horizontal column at the
position where it was buried allowing protection currents to pass freely to the structure. The
MMOanodecoreisfirmlypositionedtoprotectthestructureformanydecades.
