  1. Cortec Corporation Water Treatment Products

  2. Water Treatment Concerns • Bio-growth • Scaling • Corrosion Corrosion Tendency Scaling Tendency pH 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  3. pH Testing

  4. Bio-Growth

  9. Cortec’s H2O Products • Cortec has products for the following systems: • Cooling Tower systems (open recirc. loops) • Closed loop systems (heating/cooling; e.g. chillers, heat exchangers, water/glycol loops) • Boilers (low, medium, & high pressure) • Miscellaneous: • Hydrotesting • Sea Water • Pickling processes, • Lay-Up, & more

  10. VpCI Water Additives Reach the metal through Vapor/Liquid Phase Vapor Phase Liquid Phase Film-forming mechanism of protection How VpCI Water Products Work

  11. High Performance of VCIs for H2O Treatment Confirmed by: • Laboratory corrosion test at static and dynamic conditions • Electrochemical study • Application at the Cortec plant (cooling system for the extruder and a boiler) • Field results (Drew/Ashland, US Waters Services, Cortec’s cooling tower and boiler, etc.)

  12. Immersion and Partial Immersion Corrosion Tests ASTM G-316 • Sanded and methanol cleaned metal panels • Immersed in containers filled with water-based solutions/electrolytes with or without added treatment (‘Control’) • Weight loss was determined or panels were visually evaluated for the presence of corrosion after cleaning according to ASTM G-1.7

  13. Reference: SSCE Calomel Saturated Working: Z15001 Zinc Counter: High-density graphite Electrochemical Testing Test Equipment: Potentiostat/Galvanostat “Versastat” with corrosion software model 352/252 SoftCorr™

  14. Tests in Pilot Cooling Tower Model 005 cooling tower manufactured by RSD Towers • 16 GPM recirculation rate • 1.5 inch inlet and outlet diameters • Tap water with 2.3-2.5 cycles of concentration • Temperature = 45-50C • pH = 8.6-8.8 • TDS = 1250-1300ppm • Conductivity = 1850-2000uS Weight loss on corrosion coupons in contact with the tower water passing used to calculate corrosion rates

  15. Toxicity Testing Aquatic Toxicity Testing Terms • NOEC = Highest Concentration with No Observable Effect • LOEC = Lowest Concentration with an Observable Effect • LC50 = Lethal Concentration in the water for 50% of the population tested in the test period • IC25= It is the level at which the organisms exhibit 25 percent reduction in a biological measurement such as reproduction or growth. It is calculated statistically and used in chronic toxicity testing. • LD50 = Lethal Dose (based on body weight of species tested) for 50% of the population tested

  20. Cooling System Problems Left Unchecked Can Cause: • Loss of Heat Transfer • Increased Energy (Resources) Use • Reduced Equipment Life / Failures • Lost Production / Profits • Increased Maintenance Costs • Potential Safety / Health Harm • System / Plant Shutdown

  21. VpCIs for Closed LoopRe-circulating Systems Same water is used over and over, new chemicals and minerals are not added to system as often

  22. VpCIs for Closed LoopRe-circulating Systems VpCI-649, VpCI-649 P Sodium Molybdate tracer Metals: Ferrous, Copper & Brass, Aluminum & alloys, Galvanized Chemistry: Vapor & contact film-forming inhibitor; aminocarboxylate-based salts & polyacrylate dispersant/anti-scalant

  24. Detecting Concentration http://www.hach.com Molybdate Test Kit, Model MO-2, Color Disc, 100 tests Range (0-50mg/L) Product #: 1419301

  25. VpCIs for Open Systems As new water is continually added, new minerals are also added. New chemical must also be added.

  29. Test MethodsTitration-Color Wheel

  30. VACUettesauto-dilution ampoules Step 1.Hold the ampoule horizontally and touch the tip of the capillary to the sample to automatically fill. Step 3.A bubble of gas will appear. Tilt the ampoule several times, allowing the bubble to travel from end to end. Step 4.When color develops, quantify the results with a color comparator. Step 2.Fill the snap cup with diluent and immerse the ampoule/capillary tube assembly. Snap the tip.  The ampoule will fill with the diluted sample. www.chemetrics.com

  31. Test Methods • TDS – Total Dissolved Solids (ppm, mg/l) • Conductivity (mS, mhos) • Iron, Copper, Calcium, Hardness

  32. Cortec Water Treatment Products for Lay-Up Applications

  33. Boiler Lay-Up Boiler LizardTM • Ferrous metal protection • Bio-degradable, non-toxic, & non-irritating • Boiler Dry Lay-Up • Dry Lay-up Dosage: 1 bag per 1,000 gallons of total capacity (or, 3.8m3 or 134 ft3)

  34. Silica gels are hard to use and their removal before start up adds another laborious operation. Nitrogen Blankets require extremely tight seals, & often onsite generators. Hydrazine, a suspected carcinogen, is very hazardous. VpCI products in easy to use water soluble bags. Environmentally sound (100% biodegradable). Protects boiler internals; including hard to reach places, through vapor phase. No removal necessary for typical start-ups. Replaces O2 scavenger Boiler Lay-Up : Conventional Vs VpCIs

  35. Cooling Loop GatorTM Multi-metal protection including galvanized Non-toxic, & non-irritating Wet lay-up & flushing applications 4 bags/carton 1 carton/ 1000 gallons (4000 liters, 4m3) Cortec’s VpCI In Cooling Tower Lay-up

  36. Strictly CCIs. Hazardous to environment Oil products react with rubbers in the system & roof tars. Promotes microbial growth during the lay-up period & even after start up VpCIs tandem with CCIs Bio-degradable, environmentally friendly Safe for wide spectrum of rubbers and elastomers. Do not promote microbial growth. Cooling Tower Lay-Up :Conventional Vs VpCIs

  37. Oil based products do not apply evenly & forms gunk balls in Heat Transfer equipment Need expensive cleaners along with biocides to remove oil films before start-ups Easy application No removal needed for a typical start-up Cooling Tower Lay-Up :Conventional Vs VpCIs

  38. Cooling Tower Lay-up • Competitive products:Nalco 2572, 41 L, and other oil based products, a few other contact corrosion products • Easy methods of application with VpCIs: • Add required dosage to the tower make up water or basin. 4bags (1 box) treats up to 1,000gallons • Circulate for 12 to 24 hours (bags and product dissolves and treats system internals) • Drain water to desired level, and seal off pipe valves to external atmosphere. Lay-Up is complete!
