Corrosion Control for Cooling Towers, Boilers & Chillers
Protect the metal. Preserve the equipment.
Scale Free Systems brings physics-based corrosion control to commercial and industrial heat transfer equipment. Our approach focuses on the electrical environment at the equipment surface.
Discuss Your System
Small areas of metal loss can become major operational problems.
Corrosion can weaken piping, damage tubes and threaten the reliability of heat transfer equipment. For facility teams, the goal is to identify deterioration early and manage it before a leak becomes an interruption.
Protect critical surfaces
Focus attention on the metal surfaces and components your system depends on, including tubes, piping and heat exchangers.
Address developing problems
Track signs of corrosion alongside leaks, inspection findings and maintenance history to support better repair decisions.
Plan with better information
Use documented condition and performance trends to guide maintenance priorities and equipment replacement planning.
We treat the equipment.
SFS technology is designed to manage the electrical environment at wetted equipment surfaces as part of a corrosion-control strategy. This equipment-focused approach is central to how Scale Free Systems addresses heat transfer system performance.
Evaluation starts with the application: equipment materials, operating conditions, existing treatment and corrosion history. Those details help determine whether SFS is appropriate for your system and how performance should be assessed.
Built around your mechanical system.
Discuss corrosion concerns in cooling towers, chillers, boilers and associated water circuits with SFS. Suitability depends on the specific equipment, metallurgy and operating requirements.
Measure corrosion. Track the trend.
Establish a baseline and select monitoring methods appropriate to the system. These may include corrosion coupons, suitable probes, equipment inspections and repeat photographs of accessible surfaces.
Compare results using consistent exposure periods, materials and operating conditions. Review localized damage as well as average metal loss.
Performance targets and monitoring methods should be selected for the equipment’s materials, service conditions and operating requirements.
Start with the equipment and the evidence.
Describe the system
Share equipment type, materials, operating conditions, current treatment and any recurring corrosion concerns.
Bring existing records
Inspection photos, coupon reports, water analyses and maintenance records help establish a useful starting point.
Discuss the next steps
Review application suitability, installation considerations and a practical way to evaluate performance over time.
Corrosion control, explained.
Can corrosion control repair metal that is already damaged?
No. Corrosion control addresses further deterioration; it does not restore lost wall thickness or repair existing pits and leaks. Damaged components require assessment and appropriate repair or replacement.
Is corrosion the same as scale?
No. Corrosion deteriorates the metal itself. Scale is a mineral deposit that accumulates on surfaces. Both can affect equipment performance, but they require distinct evaluation.
Does an SFS installation eliminate the need for monitoring?
No. Continue appropriate inspections, water testing and corrosion monitoring. Evaluate any treatment changes against equipment requirements and measured system performance.
Can SFS be evaluated for an existing system?
Contact us with your equipment details and current concerns. The review should account for existing condition, operating requirements and installation access before defining the scope.
Let’s review your corrosion concerns.
