Corrosion Prevention

Our superior oxidizing, non-corrosive carbon products ensure that your system maintains its efficiency in capturing pollutants, while eliminating the damage that brominated products cause to equipment. Many products that are branded as “non-brominated” or “non-corrosive” are not as effective in pollutant capture as their brominated counterparts.

At Carbonxt, we recognize this issue and demonstrate the effectiveness of our non-corrosive carbons through regular performance and optimization testing.

CHALLENGES WITH CORROSION

"Our plant has experienced pervasive corrosion issues, specifically with the brominated carbon handling system."

Texas Facility

"During our inspections [during outage] we have found that we are having significant corrosion in our dry scrubber [15,000 sq. ft.]. Our chemistry department thinks the PAC being injected may be contributing to the corrosion."

Colorado Facility

"Our new SDA was installed in 2014. Within the first year of operation, we had already noticed severe corrosion…The heavy corrosion was destroying our new SDA. In the end it cost us over $600,000."

Nebraska Facility

Sheila Glesmann, ADA Carbon Solutions

"Under some circumstances, bromine can lead to corrosion (interior coatings for silos can prevent or mitigate)."

"For example, recently severe corrosion of air preheater (APH) baskets have been observed in a few units after more than one year of operation using PAC-based sorbents or halogen addition to the fuel."
