摘要

The present study is focused on the failure analysis of water cooling systems serving a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) preform moulding plant. PET preforms have application in the field of drinking water, fresh milk and soft drink bottles.Cooling systems under examination operate at 6℃ and 20℃.When the plant was set up, the cooling circuits were made from carbon steel. Mixture of water and ethylene glycol was used as coolant. Ethylene glycol was added with corrosion inhibitor to prevent corrosion.The lack of proper control of plant management led to dramatic corrosion in the form of high dissolution rate of the base metal. This involved the risk of severe loss of functionality of the plant itself.The following critical factors were identified:1. In 2009, carbon steel pipes were completely replaced with galvanized steel ones. Nevertheless, the corrosion inhibitor was added again to the coolant.2. The plant was equipped with a water softener that didn’t operate properly, thus promoting the release of chlorides.3. Ethylene glycol was not replaced and its decomposition to organic acids brought to an increase of acidity.All these factors contributed to corrosion initiation and propagation.Chemical analysis were carried on water from both well and closed cooling circuits.Analysis of water from the circuits revealed a very high amount of metals in solution (mainly Zn and Fe) and in the sediment. High chloride content was also determined.The water pH was slightly acidic as a consequence of ethylene glycol decomposition e iron hydrolysis reactions.It is possible to say that the failure of the pipes before their expected lifetime was induced by acidic corrosion. Zinc dissolution rapidly exposed the steel surface. Moreover, the deterioration of the pipes was enhanced by the mechanical wear resulting from a substantial amount of suspended solids in the flowing water.
