Platinized Niobium Metal Anodes
TiTaN's Platinized niobium metal anode ( PLANMA ) is the most suitable anode to the electrolytes having fluoride. Commercially pure niobium has been confirmed to have a high resistance to anodic breakdown potential in sodium chloride and sea water. Niobium has attraction for use over titanium where extremely high reliability is required in long life, high value iccp systems, and accordingly is so used.
TiTaN's platinized niobium wire anodes are designed for effective operating in fresh, brackish and saltwater; used in all types of aqueous storage and process equipment. These anode aren't adversely affected by high chloride concentrations. Also platinized tubular / rod anodes are used for cathodic protection in seawater environment Because of its low consumption rate, the anode may be employed in a cathodic protection system to achieve a long life.
