Hi all,
I work in the modular construction industry, where we sometimes have a chilled water system incorporated into the design. Before construction, we treat the piping with a corrosion inhibitor which is water soluble.
There was a requirement by a customer to do the flushing of piping before shipping the modules to the site, however after the flushing, the water-soluble inhibitor was removed, and since the system was not immediately filled with water, the corrosion started to appear. I talked with a representative from one corrosion inhibitor company who suggested filling the system with inhibitors in a vapor state or filling the system with a mixture of water and inhibitor. How do you usually deal with this sort of matter?
