• SPECIAL TOPIC: MAINTENANCE & MATERIALS •
Extend Uptime Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors – or VpCis – are designed to safeguard both internal and external metal surfaces for equipment and components in water-intensive environments. Many applications are available, and all offer a high-level of corrosion protection to avoid equipment malfunction and ensure parts are ready to use as required, thereby minimizing downtime and keeping operations on schedule.
VpCi technology is commonly applied in liquid, vapor, or liquid-vapor phases and condense evenly on alloys, forming a clear and protective shield from moisture, preventing rust and corrosion. It is also formulated to avoid the altering of metal properties and even block oxygen or other damaging elements.
More importantly, VpCi applications can effectively reach and coat all metal surfaces within a closed system, including hidden crevices, complex piping, valves and even specific areas above the waterline in boilers, where liquid-phase inhibitors cannot access.
Alternate VpCi Applications and Products
According to a report from the American Coatings Association( ACA), water-based VpCi coatings are also available and formulated to apply a thin film of corrosion protection. As a result, this offers end users cost savings since less materials and labor are required as well as environmental benefits since they use less VOC’ s and toxicity.
Cortec Corporation— a global manufacturer of innovative, and environmentally responsible VpCi and MCI corrosion control technologies— is just one manufacturer to offer this solution as well additional corrosion protection properties.
Additionally, according to the company, one alternative for end users in industrial facilities is its VpCI ®-126 HP UV Shrink Film, which incorporates high strength resins with UV light stabilizers and Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor( VpCI) technology.
Its film construction can embody a variety of equipment or systems and provide corrosion protection for multiple metals. This makes it ideally suited to protect and shield critical equipment that’ s in storage or transit for extensive periods.
Routine maintenance is integral in sustaining operations, yet it also demands strategic investments in technologies for long-term performance. Innovative corrosion protection solutions serve as a risk mitigation tool and ensure that power generation facilities operate at maximum efficiency and reliability.
