- Robust Titanium Core: Fabricated from our own high-quality Titanium Bar and Titanium Plate, ensuring excellent mechanical strength and resistance to physical damage during installation and service.
Installation and Implementation Guide
Proper installation is key to maximizing anode performance. Follow these general steps for our Platinum Anodes (always refer to the project-specific design document).
- System Design: A certified cathodic protection engineer must design the system, calculating the required current output and number of anodes.
- Site Preparation: Prepare the mounting location on the structure (hull, pipeline, etc.), ensuring it is clean, dry, and free of contaminants.
- Anode Mounting: Securely weld or bolt the anode to the structure using the integrated titanium connectors, ensuring a low-resistance electrical connection.
- Cable Connection: Connect the anode's header cable to the positive output of the impressed current rectifier. Ensure all connections are waterproofed and insulated to the highest marine standards.
- System Activation & commissioning: Energize the system and adjust the rectifier output to achieve the designed protective potential on the structure. Monitor and fine-tune as necessary.
Application Scenarios
YESINO Platinum Anodes provide critical protection across the marine and offshore industries.

Customer Testimonials
Global Offshore Drilling Contractor: "After switching our entire deep-water fleet to YESINO's platinum anodes, we've seen a complete elimination of premature anode failure. Their performance in the Gulf of Mexico has been exceptional, providing consistent protection and allowing us to confidently extend our inspection intervals."
European Shipyard Group: "The technical support from YESINO's engineers was invaluable during the design phase of our new vessel series. The customized Cathodic Protection Anode solution they provided was perfectly integrated into our hull design, and the post-installation performance data has precisely matched their projections."
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How does a platinum anode differ from a traditional sacrificial anode?
A: Sacrificial anodes (e.g., zinc, aluminum) corrode themselves to protect the structure. Platinum anodes are part of an "Impressed Current Cathodic Protection" (ICCP) system. They are connected to an external power source (rectifier) and are highly efficient, long-lasting, and controllable, making them ideal for large structures.
- Q: What is the expected service life of a YESINO platinum anode?
A: Service life is primarily determined by the coating thickness and operating current density. Under typical design conditions, our anodes can last 15-25 years or more, far exceeding the life of sacrificial anodes.
- Q: Can your anodes be used in fresh or brackish water?
A: Absolutely. While optimized for seawater, our anodes are highly effective in brackish water, muddy environments, and even certain freshwater applications. For specific water treatment uses, we also offer specialized MMO Titanium Anode and MMO Tubular Anode products.
- Q: Do you provide technical support for system design?
A: Yes. Our engineering team offers comprehensive support, from initial system design and calculations to installation guidance and commissioning assistance. We partner with you to ensure optimal system performance.
- Q: How do I decide between a Platinum Anode and an MMO Anode?
A: Platinum anodes generally offer higher maximum current densities and can be more robust in highly turbulent or abrasive environments. MMO (Mixed Metal Oxide) Anodes are a superb, cost-effective solution for many applications, including water treatment. Our experts can help you select the right technology for your specific environment and budget.
