Abstract

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
