Preservation of Thermal Power Equipment

🔷 Preservation of Thermal Power Equipment

During long-term shutdowns of thermal power equipment, the risk of standby (atmospheric) corrosion significantly increases, leading to metal damage and reduced equipment lifespan.

Areas with poor drainage, as well as heat exchange surfaces of boilers and pipelines, are particularly vulnerable.


⚠️ The Challenge

During idle periods, corrosion processes can intensify, resulting in:

• formation of corrosion damage
• reduced equipment efficiency
• increased maintenance and repair costs
• shortened service life


🔧 Solution

To protect equipment during shutdowns or maintenance, we apply preservation technologies using film-forming amines, including octadecylamine (ODA).

Film-forming amines create a thin protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing contact with oxygen and carbon dioxide and effectively reducing corrosion processes.


⚙️ Technology Features

• formation of a protective molecular film on metal surfaces
• uniform protection of complex equipment areas
• high efficiency during long-term shutdowns
• applicable to various types of thermal power equipment


💡 Results

• reliable corrosion protection
• preservation of equipment condition during downtime
• reduced repair and restoration costs
• readiness for rapid restart
