MMO anode for water treatment is an electro-chlorination method. A process used to produce hypochlorite when we run an electric current through salt water.

Electrochlorination works like desalination –disinfecting water to make it non-toxic and safe for human use. This process makes water drinkable, germs-free, and safe for swimming pools.

Some features of MMO anodes are:

• Easy to use & Dimensional stability
• Energy-saving & Flexible
• Dimensional stability & Low weight

Advantages

There are a lot of advantages of MMO anodes over other commercial hypo and gases chlorine such as:

• It is easy to install and a cost-effective method.
• It prevents algae from growing and has no harmful, toxic chemicals, so it is safe for health.
• It has an excellent coating of electrodes and also increases their lifetime.
• MMO anodes have self-cleaning electrolytic cells and require less maintenance.
• This method uses low-cost raw materials and has no risk of leakage.
• It can find in pure form and has excellent adherence properties.
• MMO anode has outstanding chemical resistance, typically for chlorine and oxygen.

How does it work?

MMO anode coating consists of an electrocatalytic conductive component to analyze reaction and produce bulk oxides and current flow. It prevents corrosion of the substrate material, and two electrocatalysts used for this application:

1. Iridium oxide (IrO₂) Anode

This element is suitable for both oxygenating and chlorinating environments, and its primary purpose is to prevent corrosion and provide an oxide film to the substrate material.

2. Ruthenium Oxide (RuO₂) Anode

This oxide is only applicable to seawater and is a cheap method used in chlorinated environments. Life can reduce during the evolution of oxygen.

This MMO coating can achieve the desired coating to meet the current capacity requirements.

How to Select Suitable MMO Anodes for Water treatment?

There are many factors to consider to selecting suitable MMO anodes for water treatment.

• Series connection
• Life & length
• Current output per foot
• Size of anode plates
• Chlorine rate & Saltwater concentration
• The operational life of anodes
