Corrosion prevention and control methodology for water treatment and supply systems is detailed in this book. The information supplied will provide water treatment managers and operators with an understanding of the causes and control of corrosion.
The corrosion of water treatment and supply systems is a very significant concern. Not only does it affect the aesthetic quality of the water but it also has an economic impact and poses adverse health implications. Corrosion by-products containing materials such as lead and cadmium have been associated with serious risks to the health of consumers of drinking water. In addition, corrosion-related contaminants commonly include compounds such as zinc, iron, and copper, which adversely affect the aesthetic aspects of the water.
The book is presented in two parts. Part I is basically a guidance manual for corrosion control with sections on how and why corrosion occurs and how best to handle it. Part II reviews the various materials used in the water works industry and their corrosion characteristics, as well as monitoring and detection techniques. Emphasis is placed on assessing the conditions and water quality characteristics due to the corrosion or deterioration of each of these materials...
