Inertius Ltd is a privately owned company formed to commercialize the inert anode technology developed at the University of Leeds by Professor Jha and his team. The original work focused on a unique alloy which, during operation, developed a passivation layer making it highly corrosion resistant during early trials of electrochemical metal production processes. The company is engaged on an extensive program of development to trial the anodes over extended time periods and prove the cost savings and reductions in carbon emissions that the early trials exhibited. Other work is focused at developing the techniques necessary to fabricate the alloy and make the anodes themselves.
