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.   Explore more episodes, challenge your assumptions, and lead the way in advancing our industry's standards of technical excellence.

"Scaling is like debt—it's always better to prevent it than to clean it up later." Phosphate plays a crucial role in Industrial Water Treatment, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood chemicals. In this Pinks and Blues episode, Trace Blackmore revisits phosphate chemistry and its application in cooling systems, corrosion prevention, and scale inhibition. Breaking Down Phosphate Chemistry Phosphate exists in different forms, each with specific applications in water treatment.  Orthophosphate (PO4³⁻): The simplest and most reactive form, used for corrosion inhibition.  Polyphosphate: A longer chain of phosphate molecules that can hydrolyze into orthophosphate.  Organic Phosphates: Phosphate compounds bonded with organic molecules, often used in scale inhibition.  Total Phosphate: A combination of all phosphate types in a system.  Phosphate Testing – What Every Water Pro Should Know Phosphate levels must be carefully monitored to maintain system integrity. Trace explains:  Why the orthophosphate test is the most reliable for phosphate analysis.  How to convert different phosphate forms to orthophosphate for testing.  The difference between the Molybdate Vanadate Method (yellow test) and the Ascorbic Acid Method (blue test).  The importance of accurate dilution and testing procedures to prevent measurement errors. Challenges and Considerations in Phosphate Treatment  Biological Growth: Phosphate serves as a nutrient, promoting microbial growth if not controlled properly.  Environmental Regulations: Certain facilities may have phosphate discharge limits.  Calcium Phosphate Scaling: High temperatures and improper phosphate dosages can cause severe scaling issues. Best Practices for Phosphate Management  Monitor carbon and alkalinity levels to determine the best phosphate formulation.  Use stability indices (e.g., Ryzner Stability Index, Langelier Saturation Index) to predict scale formation.  Adjust treatment strategies based on pH levels and system conditions to avoid unintended scale buildup.  Always verify environmental discharge limits when using phosphate-based treatments. Mastering phosphate chemistry and testing techniques ensures better system performance, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance. This episode empowers water professionals to optimize their approach to phosphate-based treatments.
