Corrosion protection for electrical control systems in Wastewater Treatment Plants with SuperCORR A

Wastewater treatment plants are subject to corrosion and rust from a variety of causes , one of which is Hydrogen Sulphide gas , ( H2S ). Corrosion is an insidious and costly problem that causes just about every metal and metal alloy to fail over time . Metals in electrical and electronic control systems , components , connectors , and switches are of most concern .
Corrosion is found in almost all process industries including wastewater treatment plants , pulp and paper mills , fertilizer plants , and numerous other industries and is not going away . Establishing a ‘ Preventative Maintenance Program ’ that includes corrosion prevention makes it a problem that can be cost effectively dealt with .
SuperCORR A protects electrical control systems against corrosive environments
One proven and positive way to reduce , if not prevent , corrosion altogether from causing electrical , electronic systems and component failures is by using an ultra-thin film water displacing lubricant material with corrosion inhibiting compound , SuperCORR A has all these properties .
A proprietary formulation packaged in aerosol cans it uses a non-flammable fast drying carrier solvent . The aerosol is supplied with a flexible tube applicator which allows the protective coating to be applied accurately even in difficult to get to components .
Removal of surface contamination from the metallic contact surfaces on switches and circuit breakers is essential to ensure fault free operation . The aerosol uses the unique
SuperCORR A formulation to lift and remove dust and soils from the metal contact surfaces . An inert compound that neither reduces nor increases the electrical conductivity . SuperCORR A also provides long term protection from corrosion and electrical arcing that can lead to shorts and subsequent circuit failures .
Testing SuperCORR A in corrosive environments
SuperCORR A ( MIL-DTL-87177B ( Revised MIL-L-87177A ) Type 1 Grade B lubricant was subjected to extensive and vigorous Mixed Flowing Gas ( MFG ) testing at Battelle Laboratories under a U . S . Government contract .
