Zerion® HydroTest-12
Zerion® HydroTest-12 is a high-performance corrosion-inhibiting formulation specifically designed for hydrostatic testing and post-testing lay-up. This versatile solution is engineered to provide reliable, long-lasting protection for assets of various sizes and geometries.
Zerion® HydroTest-12 combines Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors (SCIs) and Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) to deliver comprehensive corrosion protection. SCIs protect metal surfaces in direct contact with the solution, making them ideal for fully filled assets during hydrostatic testing. VCIs, on the other hand, diffuse into airspaces within the asset, saturating these areas to safeguard against corrosion during post-testing lay-up.
With its advanced formulation, Zerion® HydroTest-12 simplifies application while delivering exceptional corrosion resistance and durability, effectively mitigating corrosion risks during hydrostatic testing and subsequent storage.
Typical Applications
- Hydrostatic testing of pipelines, piping circuits and static equipment such as storage tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, etc...
- Post-Testing Lay-Up: Protects assets following hydrostatic testing. Ideal for short and long-term lay-ups.
- Airspace Protection: Prevents corrosion in hard-to-reach air pockets or voids in complex asset geometries.
- Water-Handling Equipment: Protects pumps, valves, and other ferrous metal equipment during testing and post-testing lay-up.
Key Advantages
Comprehensive Corrosion Protection: Combines Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors (SCIs) and Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) for dual- phase protection for both contact and airspace protection.
Versatility: Effective for a wide range of asset sizes, geometries, and testing conditions.
Enhanced Durability: Provides long-lasting protection during hydrostatic testing and post-testing lay-up.
Airspace Safeguarding: Protects hard-to-reach areas such as air pockets and voids through VCI diffusion.
Ease of Application: Simplifies the testing and preservation process with a single, easy-to-use formulation.
Cost-Effective: Reduces corrosion risks, minimizing potential repairs or replacement costs.
Operating Summary
- Mix Zerion® HydroTest-12 thoroughly into water. Concentration is dependent on length of time the asset will be in contact with the solution, condition of the asset, and quality of the water.*
- Apply solution to asset as specified in the Scope of Work. A Zerust® Field Engineer can be assigned to oversee the operation.
- Remove the solution from the asset and neutralize to the appropriate pH levels for disposal.
- Dispose of the solution in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations as applicable.
