Corrosion inhibitors are critical for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of water treatment systems. A S Harrison & Co provides advanced VpCI® (Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitor) solutions specifically designed to protect essential water treatment infrastructure from corrosion and scale build-up.
VpCI® technology offers comprehensive protection against corrosion and scale formation in various water treatment applications. This innovative inhibitor is particularly effective in safeguarding boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and condensate lines, which are crucial components in water treatment facilities.
In boiler systems, corrosion and scale can significantly impair performance, leading to increased energy consumption and potential system failures. VpCI® products form a protective barrier on metal surfaces, preventing corrosive elements from causing damage. This barrier not only protects against corrosion but also inhibits scale build-up, ensuring optimal heat transfer efficiency and prolonging the life of the boiler system.
Heat exchangers are vital for efficient thermal energy transfer in water treatment processes. However, they are highly susceptible to corrosion and scaling, which can reduce their effectiveness and lead to costly repairs or replacements. VpCI® inhibitors are designed to protect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals within heat exchangers. By preventing the formation of corrosive deposits and scales, VpCI® ensures that heat exchangers operate at peak efficiency, maintaining consistent performance and reducing maintenance requirements.
Cooling towers are exposed to harsh environmental conditions and varying water qualities, making them prone to corrosion and scaling. VpCI® technology helps mitigate these issues by forming a protective layer on internal surfaces, preventing corrosive elements from taking hold. This protection extends the lifespan of cooling towers, enhances their cooling efficiency, and minimises the risk of downtime due to maintenance or repairs.
Condensate lines are essential for returning condensed water back to the boiler, but they can suffer from corrosion due to the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide. VpCI® inhibitors provide an effective solution by creating a protective film that repels these corrosive agents. This protection ensures the integrity of condensate lines, reduces the likelihood of leaks, and maintains efficient system operation.
By incorporating VpCI® protection, the water treatment industry can achieve superior corrosion and scale prevention. These inhibitors enhance the reliability, efficiency, and longevity of water treatment systems, ultimately leading to reduced operational costs and improved performance.
Product and customer insights
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
