Passivation & New Cooling Tower Start up Procedures

Flozone Services will provide "start-up" for new galvanized towers to prevent corrosion or "white rust". The preventive program is designed to create a natural film of protective coating formed through pH control. The program will take 6-8 weeks to complete and should be completed before a cooling load is placed on the system. The E3 Sentinel 24/7 Remote Monitoring & Management Equipment must be installed prior to the procedure as tight control is critical to successful passivation. Condensers should be treated before ammonia is charged to the system for the prevention of white rust. Coordination between the refrigeration contractor and Flozone Services will allow appropriate time for this treatment to be completed prior to charging the refrigeration system. Flozone Services will provide appropriate chemicals and equipment necessary for the initial charge of corrosion inhibitor into the closed water loop.
