Abstract Corrosion inhibitors in open recirculating cooling water systems require rapid and complete film formation for maximum effectiveness. The protective film is established on clean surfaces by initial treatment with inhibitor at high dosage levels. Protection then can be maintained by continuous treatment at substantially lower levels. If operational difficulties should cause loss of the protective film, low level treatment after the film has been lost may result in severely increased corrosion and deposition. Laboratory corrosion, deposition and consumption studies with polyphosphate-based and chromate-based inhibitors illustrate the advantages of high level start-up and low level maintenance treatments. These data are confirmed by actual field experiences. 5.8.1

Abstract The utility of heteropoly molybdate compounds as cooling water corrosion inhibitors for mild steel was investigated by various electrochemical techniques. It was shown that high concentrations of heteropoly molybdates are required to passivate mild steel electrodes. The breakdown of passivity was studied as a function of inhibitor volume and concentration of aggressive anions. Various approaches for the economic utilization of heteropoly molybdates are described, including high level pretreatment-low level maintenance level regimes and formulation with polyphosphates and zinc.

Secondary-treated municipal wastewater (MWW) could supply a viable alternative water resource for cooling water systems. Inorganic salts in the concentrated cooling water pose a great challenge to corrosion control chemicals. In this study, the inhibition effect of 1-hydroxy ethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), trimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP) and 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTCA) on corrosion of carbon steel in secondary-treated MWW was investigated by the means of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The inhibition effect increased with increasing concentration of inhibitors. The corrosion rates of carbon steel were 1.5, 0.8, 0.2 and 0.5 mm a–1 for blank, HEDP, ATMP and PBTCA samples at 50 mg L–1, respectively. The phosphorus-based chemicals could adsorb onto the surface of the carbon steel electrode, form a coat of protective film and then protect the carbon steel from corrosion in the test solution.

Abstract A description of an improved testing loop for the evaluation of cooling water corrosion inhibitors for open recirculating systems is given, together with the performance characteristics of the laboratory apparatus. The test equipment included heat transfer surfaces and permitted velocities of 2 to 3 feet per second. Corrosion rate comparisons are made with data previously obtained in a screening test loop operated under less severe test conditions. Attempts are made to detect the extent of scale build-up on heat transfer surfaces through losses in heat transfer and increased friction losses in the system. Results indicate that scaling and fouling characteristics of inhibited open cooling water systems were not satisfactorily measured in the apparatus described.

Praseodymium 4-hydroxycinnamate compound has been successfully studied as an effective corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 0.1 M NaCl solution using electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. The results of electrochemical techniques indicated that there were the decrease of current density and the appearance of protective film on the steel surface evidencing the presence of inhibitor and the effect of Pr(4OHCin)3 compound depending on its concentration in solution. The surface analysis show a confirmation of the protective film formation which is a result of adsorption between the metal and inhibitor components. In addition, inhibition performance of Pr(4OHCin)3 compound is also compared to the inhibition performance of TRACT 109, which has been added to a fresh cooling water system of Ca Mau fertilizer plant.
