The corrosion behaviour of galvanized steel in cooling tower water containing a biocide and a corrosion inhibitor

Abstract: The corrosion behaviour of galvanized steel in cooling tower water containing a biocide and a corrosion inhibitor was investigated over a 10-month period in a hotel. Planktonic and sessile numbers of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) and heterotrophic bacteria were monitored. The corrosion rate was determined by the weight loss method. The corrosion products were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. A mineralized, heterogeneous biofilm was observed on the coupons. Although a b… Show more

“…The protective layer is intended to improve the corrosion resistance, serving as a barrier to the migration or diffusion of chlorination that might exist inside concrete. Currently, the most widely used coatings are epoxy-coated (Khun and Frankel, 2013;Sagues et al, 2010;Shigang et al, 2012;Valentini et al, 2012) or hot-dip galvanising systems (Fayala et al, 2013;Ismail et al, 2012;Kayali and Yeomans, 2000;Minnos et al, 2013). However, it has been reported that epoxy coatings can lead to significant loss in bond strength, by 20-42% compared with bare steel (Kayali and Yeomans, 2000;Yeih et al, 2004).…”

“…[2013] gerçekleştirdikleri çalışmada soğutma suyunun galvanizli çelik için oldukça saldırgan olduğunu ve sistemde korozyona yol açarak soğutma kulelerinde operasyonel problemlere ve yapısal arızalara neden olduğunu rapor etmişlerdir [8]. Genellikle bu arızalar ve problemler mikrobiyal aktiviteden kaynaklanmaktadır.…”

“…In addition to H 2 S, SRB can cause immune response in the individuals with their O antigen, an extracellular polymeric substance, and can cause inflammation, which is the characteristic feature of ulcerative colitis (Sartor, 1997;Sutherland, 1985). Although there are several studies on biofilm formation especially carried out under laboratory conditions and model systems (Bolton et al, 2010;Ilhan-Sungur andÇotuk, 2010;Minnos et al, 2013), no published reports on biofilm-related SRB in a model water distribution system made of polypropylene could be found.…”
