The water treatment industry utilizes a number of tools to monitor corrosion rates in a cooling or boiler system during operation. From corrosion coupons to sophisticated controllers that provide instantaneous corrosion readings are used for monitoring purposes. What is really surprising is that most of times little, if anything is done to protect the system during the shut down. All the hard work by a water treatment company and all the costs of a water treatment program are at a risk of failure because of few months of down time. During the time when the system was drained, the moist air contacting the pipe surface causes the formation of rust. Because the piping was not flooded and no water was circulated, no corrosion inhibitors were introduced in the system for the metal surface’s protection. The types of generic corrosion inhibitors used in today’s programs require water circulation to be most effective. With access to Cortec Corporation’s new VCI (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors) based ‘Critical Care’ product line, water treatment companies, and cooling & boiler system operators have access to corrosion inhibitors that do not require to flood the system full of chemicals. Cortec’s VCI products protect through three phases: vapor, liquid, and vapor-liquid interface.
Following are some of the few unique features of this product line:
• Biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. Does not contain nitrites, phosphates, chromates, and heavy metals.
• Economical (100% effective) way of protecting cooling towers & boilers during seasonal lay-up or extended periods up to one year!
• Saves money and labor by eliminating the use of expensive cleaning chemicals while effectively protecting the system against corrosion.
• Protects in vapor, liquid, and vapor-liquid interface by incorporating proprietary VCI technology.
• Compatible with most of the commercially available biocides.
• Readily water-soluble.
