This article summarises the international development of cathodic protection of steel in concrete. The technology was developed in Europe and the USA for applications to buried prestressed concrete ...

Hyperbolic cooling towers remove heat from power plant condensers using natural draft. Air rises through the center of the tower, and hot water is discharged as a spray in the interior. The ...

Power plants depend on hundreds of valves and many different pumps to carry out operations 24/7. Good maintenance procedures—including routine tasks and predictive maintenance—are critical to keeping ...

Stainless steel is widely known for its impressive corrosion resistance, but it is not invincible. When exposed to environments containing chloride ions, such as seawater, the risk of corrosion ...

As a building material, electrical conduit is used in a wide range of applications across industrial construction, from bridges and data centers to utilities and wastewater treatment plants, where it ...

An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...

Keeping steel structures safe from corrosion is difficult, but traditional coatings contain chemicals that harm aquatic life. Bernhard Münzing explains how graphene could offer a more eco-friendly ...

Corrosion problems in air conditioning units can be caused by various factors including exposure to harsh environmental conditions like humidity, salt, pollutants, chemicals, and other airborne ...

The Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), the world’s largest corrosion and materials protection ...
