INTRODUCTION

Based on a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers of USA, expenditures for corrosion control have almost doubled since 1975 from an estimated $9 billion to nearly $17.7 billion annually. And, based on industry growth, these figures will continue to grow rapidly over the next few years.

As consultants in industrial water treatment technology, it is our responsibility to be thoroughly knowledgeable in specific water treatment topics such as corrosion control.

Therefore, this section will be entirely devoted to the study of corrosion and the various methods used to control it in industrial cooling water systems.
