While oxygen is a natural component of water, its presence in closed or industrial water systems can become problematic. The oxygen enters water through natural processes like aeration or through leaks in pipes and storage tanks.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #4a768e;\">The problem: corrosion due to dissolved oxygen<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Corrosion occurs when metal in water systems reacts with oxygen, leading to oxidation, which weakens and deteriorates metal structures. This process is accelerated in systems that have dissolved oxygen present. Once corrosion begins, it can result in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pitting corrosion<\/strong>: Small, localized areas of metal breakdown that weaken the structure and lead to potential leaks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pipe failure<\/strong>: Corrosion in pipes can cause blockages or complete system failure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased maintenance costs<\/strong>: Regular repair and replacement of corroded parts can drive up operational costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decreased efficiency<\/strong>: Corroded pipes and equipment reduce the efficiency of water flow, leading to higher energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><span style=\"color: #4a768e;\">How dissolved oxygen leads to corrosion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When dissolved oxygen comes into contact with metals, such as steel or copper, it triggers an electrochemical reaction. This reaction results in the formation of oxides, commonly known as rust, which deteriorates the metal over time. In closed-loop systems, where water is recirculated, oxygen can accumulate, compounding the corrosion problem over time.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #4a768e;\">Preventing corrosion in water systems<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>To mitigate the effects of dissolved oxygen and prevent corrosion, several strategies can be employed:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Deaeration<\/strong>: Removing oxygen from water before it enters the system is a proven way to prevent corrosion. Deaerators or oxygen scavengers can be installed in industrial water systems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water treatment chemicals<\/strong>: Adding chemical inhibitors that reduce the solubility of oxygen in water can minimize its interaction with metals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regular monitoring<\/strong>: Continuous monitoring of dissolved oxygen levels in water systems can help identify early signs of corrosion, enabling timely corrective actions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use of corrosion-resistant materials<\/strong>: Installing pipes and equipment made from corrosion-resistant alloys can reduce the risk of oxidation due to dissolved oxygen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #4a768e;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dissolved oxygen is a hidden enemy in water systems, with the potential to cause severe corrosion and damage if left unchecked. Understanding how oxygen interacts with metals and implementing preventive measures is key to maintaining the integrity of industrial water systems.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 70px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox[rel-1978-1649117042]\" href=\"https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-649x1024.jpg\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"190\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-190x300.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-medium lazyload\" alt=\"oxygen sensor on filter\" title=\"oxygen sensor on filter\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-190x300.jpg 190w, https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-649x1024.jpg 649w, https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-95x150.jpg 95w, https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-768x1211.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-974x1536.jpg 974w, https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/heationab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/oxygen-sensor-on-filter_detail.jpg 1004w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 190px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 190\/300;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">DO monitoring installation<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-round vc_btn3-style-3d vc_btn3-color-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/share.hsforms.com\/1696gwPe9RSiNqKdqSY5iwQ3j7az\" title=\"request a quotation\" target=\"_blank\">Get a quote<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"color: #4a768e;\">Are you concerned about dissolved oxygen in your system?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/heationab.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to learn more about effective solutions for corrosion prevention.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-left vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-icon-left vc_btn3-color-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/meetings.hubspot.com\/apesare\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"vc_btn3-icon vc-oi vc-oi-chat\"><\/i> Book a Meeting<\/a><\/div><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-left vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-icon-left vc_btn3-color-primary\" href=\"tel:0046763102470\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"vc_btn3-icon fas fa-headset\"><\/i> Call Us<\/a><\/div><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-left vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-icon-left vc_btn3-color-primary\" href=\"mailto:antonio.pesare@heationab.com\" title=\"\"><i class=\"vc_btn3-icon far fa-envelope\"><\/i> Inquiry<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dissolved Oxygen in water systems Understanding the problem and preventing corrosion Dissolved oxygen (DO) in water systems is a critical factor that often goes unnoticed until significant damage occurs.
