Scale and corrosion inhibitor is a chemical substance used to prevent the accumulation of scale on metal surfaces and reduce the occurrence of metal corrosion. It is widely used in multiple fields, such as water treatment, petrochemical industry, boiler water supply, etc. The following are the main functions of scale and corrosion inhibitors:
Prevention of scale accumulation: The components of scale and corrosion inhibitors can form complexes or colloidal particles with soluble salts in water, preventing the deposition of scale deposits on metal surfaces. These deposits may be calcium magnesium carbonate, rust, etc. By using scale and corrosion inhibitors, the formation of deposits can be reduced and equipment and pipelines can be kept unobstructed.
Corrosion inhibition effect: The components in the scale and corrosion inhibitor can react chemically with the metal surface, forming a protective film or complex. This layer of film can prevent oxygen, water, and other corrosion factors from coming into contact with the metal surface, reducing the rate and degree of metal corrosion.
Extending the lifespan of equipment: By preventing scale accumulation and reducing the occurrence of corrosion, scale inhibitors and corrosion inhibitors can extend the lifespan of equipment, pipelines, and systems. It can protect metal components from corrosion and scale accumulation, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Improving system efficiency: Fouling and corrosion can reduce the efficiency of equipment and systems, increasing energy consumption. The use of scale and corrosion inhibitors can reduce the occurrence of these problems, improve the operational efficiency of equipment, and save energy and resources.
It is necessary to select appropriate scale and corrosion inhibitors based on specific application scenarios and water quality conditions, and conduct appropriate dosing and control. At the same time, it is also important to regularly monitor and maintain the normal operation status of equipment and systems.
