For over 50 years, factory assembled cooling towers, evaporative condensers, closed circuit cooling towers, and other evaporative cooling products have been manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel.

Buried steel products are open to a wide variety of corrosive forces that are rather different from those endured in the atmosphere. The durability of both steel and galvanized steel in in-ground ...

Does your power plant use a chiller for combustion turbine inlet air cooling or other processes that reject heat? If so, there is a good chance you also have an auxiliary cooling tower (Figure 1) or a ...

“White rust” or “white storage stain” is one of the typical problems faced in galvanized coatings. It occurs as a white, bulky, powdery deposit that forms rapidly on the surface of the galvanized ...

Developing a feedwater chemistry program that will minimize corrosion across a variety of metallurgies doesn’t have to be difficult. This article reviews the requirements for three common metallurgies ...

In previous Power Engineering articles, we examined the importance of trace iron monitoring to determine the extent of carbon steel corrosion in heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) condensate and ...
