Anodamine Improves Reliability

Corrosion related failures in industrial steam systems which are often accepted as normal operational deviations are one of the biggest challenges to plant reliability. Boiler tube failures, boiler feed water section failures, and steam and condensate piping failures have a significant impact in plant reliability as well as steam and cooling availability. Anodamine eliminates corrosion issues in the entire steam circuit and cooling cycles.

Anodamine Increases Efficiency

For every 1 millimeter of scale, 7 -10% of heat transfer efficiency is lost. Combined with any silica, the loss can be much higher for every millimeter of scale. Anodamine changes the makeup of the existing oxides on heat transfer surfaces, creating a much denser and cleaner heat transfer surface. This allows customers to use much less fired fuel in order to produce the required steam in the boilers and allows heat exchangers to operate much more efficiently.

Anodamine Saves Water

Anodamine typically reduces boiler blowdown by 40 - 80% which greatly reduces the amount of makeup water needed in the steam system.

Anodamine Improves Safety of Personnel

Current conventional boiler and cooling water chemicals are toxic, flammable, and some are very carcinogenic for humans with both acute and chronic effects. Some commonly used in industries in the US are banned in other countries. Anodamine is food grade non toxic and fully replaces these chemicals.

Anodamine Reduces Environmental Footprint

Anodamine reduces an installation’s water consumption, air emissions, and waste water effluent. By replacing toxic chemistries with a non toxic and more effective solution, it reduces impact on the environment, especially fragile marine ecosystems.

What People Are Saying

When Anodamine first visited the refinery we were shocked by the iron levels in the returning condensate.

Refinery in Houston

Thanks for your recent audit from Anodamine, the audit revealed many areas for improvement that will be very beneficial in the long run.

Specialty Chemical Manufacturer in Texas

After application of Anodamine to the feed water system, we measured a dramatic reduction of cycle corrosion products during unit starts and transient load operation.

Anodamine demonstrates good properties of pitting and crevice corrosion inhibition.

PRI 2013 Generation European Workshop

I can only attribute a 50% reduction in startup time to improved steam and condensate treatment. We have found remarkably less tube fouling when we cleaned the boilers for annual inspection. Thank you Anodamine!

Petrochemical Manufacturing Plant, Texas

The Anodamine treatment within about 7 days of starting, reduced the iron levels in our condensates dramatically.

Oil Refinery, Texas

Our system went from from poor performance and multiple tube failures per year, to a good system with no tube failures for multiple years. The leak clamps became a thing of the past with MOC documents used to monitor that progress.

Makeup water was reduced as the blowdown rates dropped as a result of the Anodamine, versus the conventional sulfite and amine additions.

Anodamine is an effective corrosion inhibitor of crevice corrosion of both mild steel and ferric stainless steels in sodium chloride solutions.

The use of Anodamine technology to protect out-of-service metal surfaces. Utility equipment wold be ready for immediate operation while also protected from corrosive conditions.

Power Plant Chemistry 2012

Cleaner unit start-ups during the trial suggest that both short-term and long term lay-up protection is optimized (without a nitrogen blanket, without deoxygenated makeup or maintaining a condenser vacuum).

How It Works

Electrochemical Isolation

Through its selective nature, Anodamine specifically targets virgin metal surfaces to form a protective barrier.

In result, an electrochemical isolation of the anode occurs so that metal is protected and the corrosion process is terminated.

Anode-Cathod-Water

Anode Isolation

The anode (capital plant) is protected with a mono-molecular film that provides ultimate protection, without compromising heat transfer.

Cathode Irrelevant

Through isolation of the anode, a complete metal protection occurs irrespective of oxygen concentration.

Protection with Conventional Chemistry

For metal protection, conventional chemistries utilize the formation of an inorganic crystalline, hydrophilic corrosion product oxide (typically magnetite) formed on the virgin metal. This oxide’s protection characteristics and sustainability are directly affected by the operational physical and chemical variations, thus making complete metal protection an elusive goal.

Protection with Conventional FFAs

Conventional film-forming amines (FFAs) form a dangerous barrier on top of the epitactic oxide. What appears to be a super hydrophobic barrier is actually a trapping of inorganic contaminants between the film and the base metal. As a result, under deposit corrosion, pitting, hydrogen evolution, and embrittlement occur.

Protection with Anodamine

Anodamine has a molecular orientation and functionality/architecture which allows it to permeate through existing oxide layers (epitactic and topotactic) until it reaches the topotactic to base metal interface. The polarization and electron density that exists at this interface causes the selective attraction for Anodamine. State 1 and virgin metal protection occurs within 24 hours of dosage.
