Corrosion Control: Multidisciplinary Maintenance Service from Bellis Australia

Corrosion Control is vital to any structure regardless of its scale. Corrosion is the result of chemical reaction of metals to other chemical elements such as water or oxygen. Metals such as steel and iron have a tendency to combine with chemical elements to return to its lowest energy state. This is the reason why rusting occurs. Hydrated Iron Oxides (rust) has the same chemical properties as iron ore. Corrosion gnaws its way into the material resulting in deterioration and inefficiency.

Metals used within various types of developments, such as industrial plants, where they are used for pipelines, construction where it's used for holding up the foundation and even in automobiles, are vulnerable to the effects of its environment. For example, metals used in maritime operations are susceptible to seawater. The salt composition and temperature contribute to corrosion.

Corrosion in industrial plants like Power plants and Oil & Gas plants could result in various financial, operational and social consequences. Corroded materials would need to be replaced, frequent preventive preservation procedures like painting would be needed, shutdown of equipment and by extension, operations halted due to corrosion. It also poses a threat to manufacturing plants especially within the food industry, because it may cause product contamination.

Corrosion can also be a threat to safety as it can cause structural faults resulting in collapse, the release of toxic materials, fire and other health hazards. To top it all off, corrosion is not the most pleasing to the eye and promotes a negative perception especially among corporate entities.
