Inhibitor ZP8506

• Mild steel corrosion inhibitors and deposit control agents for once-through/mill supply cooling systems
• Combinations of phosphate, zinc and polymer
• Custom blended one-drum treatment

DESCRIPTION AND USE

Inhibitor ZP8506 is a custom blend of phosphate, zinc and polymer designed to economically inhibit corrosion of mild steel and prevent deposition of inorganic materials in mill supply water systems and once-through cooling systems.

If this corrosion is not controlled, iron byproducts introduced into the system can lead to numerous problems, which include reduced heat transfer, restricted water flow, deposits and sludging. These problems can seriously impede operations that the once-through cooling water is servicing. Inhibitor ZP8506 can minimize formation of corrosion products, and consequently improve operating conditions throughout the plant.

Inhibitor ZP8506 is designed to operate over a broad temperature range in once-through and mill supply water systems, and is especially effective for controlling deposition typically generated in hot water systems. Inhibitor ZP8506 can be fed at a single location to treat the entire system and supplemental dosages may be fed in particularly troublesome areas.

TREATMENT AND FEEDING REQUIREMENTS

The treatment level for Inhibitor ZP8506 will depend on many factors such as the severity of corrosion potential and conditions particular to a given application. This product is an excellent choice for pasteurizes. The product should be used in accordance with control procedures that GE Betz establishes for a specific application.

Dilution – Inhibitor ZP8506 may be fed directly from the shipping container or diluted to any convenient strength.

Feed Equipment – Tanks, pumps, piping, and valves should be made of 316 stainless steel or most common plastics. Avoid the use of mild steel and copper alloys.

Monitoring – A photometric procedure can be used to monitor the zinc concentration in the treated water.
