The Middle East client wanted to leave balance and ballast testing water in mooring buoys during export shipping to the Mediterranean. They decided to add VpCI®-649 BD to the fresh water used and were very happy with the solution. In this way, they were able to satisfy their corrosion protection needs during wet layup without fouling or degrading the corrosion inhibitor system.

In 2011, only two out of four proposed district cooling plants had been constructed on a UAE island designed to support more than 100 towers with 1.4 million m² (1.7 million yd²) of office space and 850,000 m² (1 million yd²) of retail/community space. One of these cooling plants needed a mothballing solution for up to two years of layup. The district cooling company adopted VpCI®-649 BD as a long-term wet layup solution that minimized costs while providing the extended corrosion protection required.
