Corrosion control is fundamental to the success of any water treatment program, but how often do we question the limitations of the tools we rely on? In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes back returning guest Mike Standish, Vice President of Water Additives at MFG Chemical, to explore the evolving role of maleic acid-based corrosion inhibitors in industrial water treatment. Drawing on decades of expertise, Mike shares practical insights into when — and when not — to use these innovative solutions to meet today's complex challenges. Understanding the Corrosion Control Toolbox Mike Standish opens the conversation by reframing corrosion control strategies through the lens of a toolbox analogy. With limited primary approaches — from phosphate-based to organic and metal-based chemistries — the success of corrosion management depends on matching the right tool to the right application. Mike stresses the importance of avoiding overcomplication and focusing on the fundamental chemical pathways for mild steel protection. Organic vs. Inorganic Approaches The discussion turns to the critical differences between organic and inorganic inhibitors. While inorganic phosphates remain cost-effective mainstays, organic phosphonates, including maleic acid-derived materials, offer advantages in high pH, high hardness, and oxidizing environments. Mike emphasizes that “organic” in water treatment bears no relation to natural or sustainable products, a frequent misconception among newcomers to the industry. Why Maleic Acid-Based Inhibitors Matter Maleic acid phosphonates distinguish themselves with exceptional oxidant stability, a feature increasingly necessary as continuous halogenation becomes standard practice. Mike explains the chemistry behind maleic acid derivatives and how the ability to tailor molecular structures creates flexibility for specific field conditions — such as scaling tendencies, pH control, and calcium carbonate formation risks. Best Practices for Application and Measurement Field success with maleic acid-based inhibitors hinges on proper dosage and testing. Mike shares lessons from real-world trials, emphasizing that underfeeding is a common mistake that compromises corrosion rates. Accurate differentiation between orthophosphate and phosphonate concentrations is vital for precise monitoring, and bench testing must closely simulate real-world surface-to-volume ratios to yield reliable predictions. The Future of Corrosion Control In a forward-looking discussion, Mike predicts that industry consolidation will trigger a second wave of entrepreneurial water treatment companies. His vision underscores the ongoing need for technical excellence, adaptability, and innovation in corrosion management practices as the industry evolves. This episode challenges water treatment professionals to rethink their corrosion strategies with a sharper, more informed approach. Maleic acid-based inhibitors are not a universal solution, but when applied thoughtfully, they offer powerful advantages for specific operational demands.

Pipes are the silent workhorses of the process industries—hidden in plain sight yet essential for daily operations. But what happens when these unassuming assets begin to fail? A recent catastrophic water main rupture in Calgary serves as a stark reminder that even the most robust infrastructure is vulnerable, especially when degradation hides under insulation. The challenge of inspecting and maintaining piping is immense. Facilities house millions of miles of pipe, much of it exposed to harsh climates, inaccessible locations, and made from materials with complex corrosion profiles. Layer on insulation, coatings, and the logistics of maintaining uptime, and it's clear that conventional inspection methods are no longer sufficient. This episode explores the wide range of failure modes—flaws, fractures, erosion, rust, and more—that threaten pipe integrity. The implications are serious: lost product, compromised safety, and even plant collapse. Fortunately, new technologies—robotics, advanced sensing, and improved diagnostics—are emerging to meet the challenge head-on. Tune in to hear why the process industry must rethink its approach to managing the hidden menace of corrosion under insulation, and how digital innovation offers a path forward.

Robert Misik in conversation with Richard SennettTHE ART OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PERFORMANCE: ACTORS, DEMAGOGUES, SELF-PROMOTERS In his new book, world-famous sociologist and author Richard Sennett dissects the performer – in the German edition called „Der darstellende Mensch“. Sennett, who was a musician and artist before his extraordinary academic career, focuses on theatre and the emancipatory potential of art. But isn't today's dominant social character is also the performing human in a broader sense, curating his or her life, whether in social media or in the roles that he or she has to play? And doesn't the show character of politics give rise to a certain type of politician? Sennett's latest study also provides an opportunity to talk about the big picture of half a century of research. It has been 53 years since Sennett's first legendary work, ‘The Hidden Injuries of Class', was published, which reads as relevant today as ever – followed by ‘The Fall of the Public Man', ‘The Corrosion of Character', ‘On Craftsmanship' and many other works, that deal with the interactions between individuals, identity and society. Taken together, they describe the transformation of the subjects through socialisation, as well as the alienation in neoliberalism, but at the same time they always open windows onto the utopian, onto a non-reified, communal existence.Richard Sennett grew up in the Cabrini Green housing project in Chicago, attended the Julliard School in New York and then studied social relations at Harvard. Over the last five decades, he has written about social life in cities, changes in labour and social theory.

A battery changes chemical energy into electricity by bringing the different chemicals together in a specific order. In 1800, Italian scientist Alessandro Volta layered silver, cloth, or paper soaked in salt or acid and zinc into what he called "voltaic piles." The voltaic piles generated a limited electrical current. Volta proceeded to publish his work, and we get the word "volt" from his name to describe the electric potential. Corrosion in batteries has always been an issue...but over time, various scientists and inventors developed gradual improvements to the battery. In 1896, the National Carbon Company (later known as the Eveready Battery Company) and almost everyone uses some type of battery for something...Even those who live "off the grid" have battery-operated devices such as a flashlight, radio, or watch.

Making his second appearance on this weeks show, we have another hero representing T Records Alec T. Adams, he is a musician and producer form West Germany, who started his journey into electronic music a few years ago after trips to Ibiza. Based in House Music with several releases and remixes on different labels and his own radioshow on Ibiza Live Radio, he explored other genres and got more and more into the world of techno. After playing peak time techno sets in the clubs and feeling the energy, he decided to produce genre tracks by himself. The first techno EP „Fury“ and the actual one called „Corrosion“ both entered the release charts on beatport and made it to position 2 in Techno (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic). A tight groove, raw lines and a touch of acid are the ingredients for his DJ-sets, which take the crowd on a unique journey and usually end in pure ecstasy. ⚡️Like the Show?

L'épave du Titanic pourrait disparaître pour plusieurs raisons liées à des processus naturels de décomposition et à l'intervention humaine. Voici les principales causes : 1. Corrosion due à l'eau saléeL'épave du Titanic repose à une profondeur de 3 800 mètres dans l'océan Atlantique Nord, où elle est soumise à un environnement particulièrement corrosif. L'eau salée accélère la décomposition des matériaux métalliques en provoquant une oxydation. Cette corrosion électrochimique se produit lorsque l'acier entre en contact avec l'eau et l'oxygène dissous, conduisant à la formation de rouille, qui fragilise la structure du navire. 2. Action des bactériesUne des principales raisons pour lesquelles l'épave du Titanic se désintègre rapidement est liée à l'activité de bactéries spécialisées, en particulier une espèce nommée *Halomonas titanicae*, découverte en 2010. Ces bactéries consomment et dégradent le métal du Titanic, notamment le fer. En métabolisant les composés du fer, elles produisent des structures appelées rusticles, qui ressemblent à des stalactites de rouille. Ces rusticles sont poreuses et fragiles, et elles tombent en morceaux, laissant la structure sous-jacente de plus en plus vulnérable. Ces bactéries dévorent l'acier du navire, réduisant la solidité de la coque. Les estimations varient, mais certains chercheurs pensent que l'épave pourrait complètement se désintégrer en quelques décennies. 3. Pression océaniqueLa pression à une profondeur de 3 800 mètres est extrêmement élevée (environ 380 fois la pression atmosphérique au niveau de la mer). Cette pression contribue également à la désintégration de l'épave, en particulier sur les parties de la coque et des structures internes déjà affaiblies par la corrosion et les bactéries. La fragilité accrue de la structure rend les morceaux d'acier plus susceptibles de se briser sous la pression de l'eau. 4. Changements environnementauxLe fond océanique est soumis à des courants sous-marins, et des fluctuations dans les températures et la composition chimique de l'eau peuvent influencer la vitesse à laquelle les processus de corrosion et de dégradation biologique se produisent. Par exemple, des variations dans l'apport d'oxygène dissous pourraient affecter l'activité des bactéries ou l'intensité des réactions chimiques qui décomposent le métal. 5. Explorations humaines et interventionsDepuis la découverte de l'épave en 1985, elle a été explorée à plusieurs reprises, tant par des sous-marins habités que par des robots sous-marins télécommandés (ROV). Ces explorations, bien que fascinantes, ont eu un impact physique sur l'épave. En effet, certains engins sous-marins ont accidentellement endommagé certaines parties du navire, comme la balustrade de la proue ou les cabines, en touchant ou en heurtant les structures. De plus, des objets et des artefacts ont été prélevés de l'épave, contribuant à l'affaiblissement de la structure. 6. Températures froides et conditions extrêmesL'environnement du fond de l'océan Atlantique Nord est extrêmement froid (environ 0 à 2°C). Bien que cela ralentisse la décomposition par certains organismes (bactéries, champignons), les conditions extrêmes finissent par avoir un effet cumulatif sur la structure du navire. À long terme, même le froid ne pourra pas protéger complètement l'épave de la dégradation biologique et chimique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
