Corrosion Protection Conventional Methods

Conventional seasonal lay-up programs often use a nitrite based, nitrogen purge or oil .  These methods often do  not provide:  

• Uniform Coverage
• Ease of putting the equipment back online
• Ease of Disposal
• Compatibility with other materials
• Bio-Resistance

The single most important disadvantage of conventional lay-up products is that they are strictly contact corrosion inhibitors.  CCI   

Contact Corrosion inhibitors protect only the areas that come into direct contact with the metal.  In cooling systems this would mean that the overhead spaces, crevices and other to reach spaces are left unprotected. The 'unprotected' areas of the system tend to corrode during down time.  Extensive cleaning is required with conventional chemicals before putting the system back into service.

Solution:  VCI Water Treatment and Lay Up Products

VCI  work place and environmentally safe, inexpensive and easy to use products that are superior to conventional methods

Our Rust Protection VCI Products Eliminate the need for Hazardous Chemicals

Cooling Tower Frogs & Cooling Loop Gator are two products that contain (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) VCI powders.  VCI process treatments, hydrotest solutions and VCI powders are perfect for seasonal or long-term lay-ups. VCI consist of blend of compounds that volatilize and create a VCI environment in the system. VCIs are adsorbed onto the metal surfaces forming a monomolecular layer. These protect both the anode and cathode sites of the metal surface. (See illustration)

VCI Corrosion Protection Products are Superior to to Conventional Products

Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors VCI's protect metals both in the  in liquid phase AND the vapor phase.  VCI's attach to and are transported by water and vapor to the metal surface.  The provide corrosion protection to all areas that come into contact with air, inside the vessel.

This is significantly more effective corrosion protection then conventional contact corrosion inhibitors.

VCI's are multi-metal formulations that protect various metals including galvanized steel.

Method of application:

Dry Lay-up:

• Fog VCI powder-1 or VCI-1010 into the cooling tower or boiler to begin corrosion protection.

Flushing Lay-up:

• Use VCI powder in the water and flush through the system. Drain the treated water and lay-up the tower.

Summary:

VCI POWDERS provide the following features:

• Biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. Does not contain nitrites, phosphates, chromates, and heavy metals.
• Economical (100% effective) way of protecting cooling towers during seasonal lay-up periods.
• Saves money and labor by eliminating the use of expensive cleaning chemicals while effectively protecting the cooling water system against corrosion.
• Protects in vapor, liquid, and interface by incorporating proprietary VCI technology.
• Readily water-soluble.
• Multi-Metal Corrosion Protection

Protecting a cooling tower properly during a lay-up period is an important aspect of cooling tower operation. It can improve efficiency of the system during the operation and save time and money if done right.
