Even with consistent Preventive Maintenance for wintertime heating, any heating device can eventually take on wear and tear that requires repair or replacement. Industrial maintenance teams can stay ahead of it by remaining vigilant for common warning signs, allowing them to intervene before their building faces a major disruption.

Root Cause Industrial Steam Generator Protection: The Importance of On-Line Analytical Instrumentation Brad Buecker, Senior Technical Consultant, SAMCO Technologies Posted 7/1/2025 Part 1 of this series examined important issues related to corrosion and scale prevention in steam generators.1 Boiler tube failures and related problems can potentially shut down a unit operation or perhaps even the entire
Chemical corrosion control. Chemical corrosion can destroy the containment materials in contact with a process. Means exist to mitigate and even prevent chemical corrosion.

This article provides an overview of several of the most important root cause prevention techniques to minimize corrosion, scaling, and fouling in steam generating systems. A follow-up piece will outline instrumentation that is vital for these efforts.
“How dare you mix the modern word predictive with the ancient concept of running equipment to failure! Those are on opposite ends of the maintenance maturity spectrum! See the graphic below… what is wrong with you!”

The focus of the previous installment was on cooling water microbiological fouling and control basics, as fouling can cause the most prompt and intense damage in cooling systems. However, scaling and corrosion can be problematic as well. Because scale and corrosion control programs often overlap, the next two installments will outline, respectively, primary scale-forming and corrosion mechanisms (scale formation in cooling water systems). We will tie these together in Part 5 when examining the evolution of scale/corrosion control programs.
