Description
Corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors can be used for scale prevention and corrosion inhibition; this dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials and energy used in the production process, but infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the dataset boundary; the life cycle inventory is compiled from data of multiple sources; the manufacturing process of corrosion and scale inhibitors involves raw material extraction, mixing, formulation, and packaging of organic acid salts, additives, and solvents.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include processes such as raw material extraction, mixing of organic acid salts, additives and solvents, formulation, and packaging.
Process Description
Corrosion and scale inhibitors are produced from chemicals such as trisodium phosphate, sodium carbonate, and tetrasodium EDTA. They react with calcium and magnesium ions in water to form loose sludge, which is removed through blowdown. These inhibitors have strong buffering capacity against both acids and bases, preventing acidic and alkaline corrosion. They also improve the chemical properties of deposits in machinery, reducing corrosion in turbines.
