Canister Anode
ELTECH LIDA® PACK canistered wire anodes are
the perfect impressed current anode for shallow vertical and
horizontal surface groundbeds, as well as wet, marshy soil
conditions where caving is likely to occur. Ideal for protecting
structures such as:
- Underground Storage Tanks
- Above Ground Storage Tanks
- Pipelines
- Lightweight
- Easy to Handle and Install
- Reduces Excavation and Drilling Costs
- Unconditional Five Year Warranty

The primary anode in an ELTECH LIDA® PACK is a
mixed metal oxide wire anode. The wire anode is comprised of a
precious metal oxide coating applied to a copper cored titanium
wire. The oxide coating is completely stable, and does not corrode,
as is the case with traditional massive type anodes, such as silicon
iron, graphite, or even platinum.
The stable anode element passes current to a highly conductive
calcined petroleum coke backfill. The backfill is well compacted
inside a galvanized steel canister. To allow moisture to quickly
migrate to the coke backfill for increased electrical conductivity,
the wire anode element is electrically connected to the steel
canister - thereby accelerating the canister corrosion rate once the
anode has been installed and energized.
