Corrosion
Corrosion is one of the most common – and most costly – problems in industrial water systems. It silently degrades boilers, steam lines, heat exchangers, and pipelines, often going unnoticed until performance declines or failures occur. Whether caused by oxygen ingress, acidic conditions, or underperforming treatment programmes, corrosion shortens equipment lifespan and drives up maintenance costs.
At HydroGreen, we help you prevent corrosion before it starts, using advanced monitoring, specialised chemistries, and expert consulting tailored to your water system.
What causes corrosion in water systems?
- Oxygen and CO₂ in boiler feedwater
- Improper pH and alkalinity control
- Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) in high-velocity lines
- Undetected scaling and biofilm acting as corrosion triggers
- Insufficient chemical or physical protection
How corrosion shows up
- Localised pitting on pipe walls and boiler tubes
- Increased iron transport in condensate return
- Leaks, tube failures, and unplanned shutdowns
- Reduced thermal efficiency and heat transfer
Our Approach to Corrosion Control
We don’t just treat the symptoms – we prevent the root causes. Our integrated corrosion management solutions combine:
✅ ODACON® – Film-Forming Amines (by Reicon)
A modern, eco-conscious alternative to traditional boiler treatment, ODACON forms a molecular film on metal surfaces throughout the water-steam cycle. This thin protective layer prevents corrosion, reduces scaling, and ensures clean system operation – without complex chemical routines.
✅ IW-Expert Consultancy
With over 20 years of field experience, IW-Expert offers independent technical audits, system design reviews, and performance optimisation for corrosion-prone systems. Their tailored recommendations help improve reliability, reduce iron transport, and extend asset life.
✅ Monitoring Tools (Gorex Analyt)
Precise corrosion sensors and real-time monitoring tools provide early warning and continuous insights, so you can act before damage occurs.
