Title: Evaluating Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors against traditional Cooling Water Chemistries
Learner Objectives:
Data developed from recent addition of in-house testing capabilities will allow the audience to see the improved performance when using Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor technology in cooling water formulations compared to the traditional contact inhibitors used in the industry today.
Content/Topic Outline:
- Introduce the in-house testing capabilities established by Cortec Technical Services
- Provide the operational parameters of the testing environment
- Will disclose the formulation used of the traditional approach
- Provide wide-level of trending data to assure an apples-to-apples comparison
- Will show the data that VpCI chemistries can effectively replace traditional chemistries and/or supplement within existing formulations

Scott Bryan, CWT
Presentation Description:
The use of VpCI technology for seasonal layup of boilers and cooling water systems is well established in the AWT community of Water Treatment Professionals. What may not be as well known, or established, is how well VpCI technology performs when a boiler or cooling tower system is in operation. With the recent investment of upgrades to our in-house Cooling Tower Loop, this paper will outline the parameters and monitoring conducted as close to a realistic application at a customers' facility. We will present the findings on how VpCI technology performs as the primary corrosion inhibitor package with direct comparison against the more traditional corrosion inhibitors for an open evaporative cooling tower.
