Acid Attack Alert Issued For

Chemical Tankers

The Salvage Association has discov- ered some discernment among marine underwriters regarding the carriage of :alcium hypochlorite chemical cargoes n containers.

Tunisia, which is reportedly a major ;xporter of phosphoric acid, uses chem- cal tankers with stainless steel tanks.

The Association's Singapore office has eportedly been involved in two cases /here the steel was attacked by the acid,

October, 1999 leaving large black stains on the surface.

The worst case to date though, left pit- ting and grain boundary attack.

Although the structural strength of the tanks is not affected by this problem, it is still detrimental to other sensitive car- goes with its unattractive appearance that could lead to its rejection by cargo surveyors. The attacks stem from an imbalance of chlorides to iron and alu- minum in the acid. While analyzed sam- ples were varied, the results concluded that the phosphoric acid contains a high percentage of destructive constituents.

This unfavorable situation can be remedied by tank washing with seawa- ter, and later, with nitric acid. The chlo- rides, which remain in the roughened stainless steel surface then form hydrochloric acid, which is detrimental to stainless steel.

CONDENSER & HEAT EXCHANGER

RESTORATION SYSTEMS

In 1976, CTI developed what today is regarded as the most cost- effective repair available for condenser and heat exchanger tubes.

CTI Shield/Seals™ are thin-walled, metallic tube inserts precisely sized to fit damaged tube ends. After installation, they are expanded into the existing tubes, eliminating the need to replace the unit or retube, two very costly procedures.

Why replace the entire tube when only the first few Inches need repair? •Select from a wide range of erosion/corrosion resistant alloys -

CuNi, Stainless Steel, Monel, Hastalloy and many more! •Extend equipment life for a fraction of the cost of retubing -

Shield/Seals™ typically save over 80%
