Corrosion Control: Why it`s important to monitor surfaces?

Danger for the staff

 

In November 2013, a network of pipelines exploded in the city of Qingdao, resulting in the killing of 62 people and wounding 136. After eight months of this event, a similar explosion took place in Kaohsiung. What had in common these two tragedies? The pipes were made following the same specifications, and their use during two decades has left its mark. Aggressive environmental factors have led to corrosion.

 

Alarm signals

 

According to a study by the US, corrosion costs six cents per dollar of gross domestic product of the United States.

 

Globally, costs are 40 billion dollars annually, equivalent to the damage caused by 40 Katrina hurricanes.

 

If I don`t know, I can`t prevent

 

We need to know what to be careful with in order to prevent corrosion. For example, in pipes degradation, influences the composition of materials microstructures appear, also design materials and influences of environmental factors: moisture, salinity, pH, temperature and biological factors. Related issues, you can read the article periodic inspection: important step in preventing corrosion. With preventive behaviour, you can prevent accidents and significantly reduce maintenance costs.

 

Corrosion protection systems

 

What are the benefits of implementing a corrosion protection system? Solutions tailored environmental conditions and proper application provides the following benefits:

• Reduces maintenance costs
• reduce downtime
• Increases the durability of equipments
• Obtain chemical resistance, thermal and to biological factors
• The solution can be applied both in new equipment and the equipment now in operation
