The unwanted formation of scale and detrimental impact of metallic corrosion can be
significant issues that affect the operation and maintenance of closed circuit water systems. In
order to ensure that such closed circuit systems are well maintained and operate at optimum
efficiency, it is essential that the correct water conditions are maintained at all times and it can be
achieved by using scale and corrosion inhibitors. Scale and corrosion inhibitors used to protect
closed loop systems and low pressure heating systems from the effects of both scale formation
and metallic corrosion.
Oxygen scavenging means preventing oxygen from introducing oxidation reactions. Most
of the naturally occurring organics have a slightly negative charge. Due to that they can absorb
oxygen molecules, because these carry a slightly positive charge to prevent oxidation reactions
from taking place in water and other liquids. Oxygen scavenger also used to removes dissolved
oxygen. As for methanol, it is used as solvent and as antifreeze in pipelines and windshield
washer fluid. It also provide food source of carbon for denitrifying bacteria.
In many refineries, the wastewater plants are fairly old, often having been constructed
more than 20 years ago. But nowadays, the increased stringency of laws in many countries
confronts operators of these plants with new challenges. It is important to optimize the
performance of wastewater treatment plants in order to ensure their reliable and economical
operation. A wide range of powerful chemicals used in wastewater treatment plants allow
operators to boost the wastewater plant performance and to achieve optimum clarification and
purification.
