In pursuit of non-phosphorus corrosion inhibitors for cold water cooling systems
- Rochester Midland Corp., NY (United States). Unytex Research Div.
An exploratory program was conducted to evaluate a number of polymers and carboxylic acid combinations with polymers as non-phosphorus containing, all organic corrosion inhibitors for cold water systems such as evaporative towers. The concentrations of treatment were approximately those which would obtain for current commercial formulations. There was a strong dependency of performance on the aggressiveness of the water, especially the conductivity. The polymers were adequate for non-aggressive waters, and one, polymaleic acid (as the sodium salt) performed reasonably in somewhat more corrosive systems. Certain alkenyl substituted dibasic acids were also found to perform well in the less challenging waters as did simpler dibasic materials such as maleic, fumaric and aspartic acids. A tetrabasic acid with the carboxyl groups located in proximity to each other, BTA, in combination with certain, but, not all, polymers showed considerable promise.
