Corrosion and Scale Inhibitor

Home | Corrosion and Scale Inhibitor
Corrosion inhibitors are chemical treatments used to slow or stop corrosive damage. The chemical attaches itself to the metallic surface and provides a protective layer reducing the corrosive action. Corrosion inhibitors help to reduce equipment repair costs, improve water quality, conserve energy, lessen waste, and improve safety.
Polymer treatments inhibit scale and deposits by working to disperse solids that form in boilers. Scale inhibitors help boiler water maintain pH levels between 10 and 11. At these pH levels, metals become passivated, or unreactive, to ensure there is no accumulation of deposits.

Advantages and Characteristics:

Physical Properties:

The severity of scaling: Fewer products are effective at high scaling rates.
Type of scale: Best scale-inhibitor chemistry based on the scale composition should be selected.
Temperature: Higher temperatures and required longer life limit the types of chemistry that are suitable.
pH: Most conventional scale inhibitors perform less effectively in a low-pH environment.
