NEWS ALERT: Enjoy Cooling Loop Croc™ for the First Time This Spring!

Cortec’s newest water treatment “reptile” is approaching its first Northern Hemisphere spring on the market! That means many cooling system operators or water treatment service providers will have the opportunity to experience a better startup with the Cooling Loop Croc™ for the first time. Cortec® invites you to get in on those benefits—even if only for a warm spell—this spring.

Corrosion Challenges at Startup

Cooling water system startup means a large rush of highly-oxygenated water will enter the system at a time when the normal operating program of water treatment chemicals is not in place. This can cause pitting corrosion represented by high iron levels in the water and leading to more serious problems down the road. Furthermore, if the weather has only turned warm enough to warrant air conditioning for a few days but is not likely to stay so, it is not worthwhile to add the normal water treatment chemicals that might help protect the system.

Cooling Loop Croc™ to the Rescue

The Cooling Loop Croc™ answers these instabilities by adding a fresh burst of corrosion inhibitors to the system. Each Croc treats 250 gallons (0.95 m³) of water and is packaged in water-soluble film that eliminates direct handling of the chemicals. As the Croc dissolves in fresh makeup water, it releases the corrosion inhibitors and protects against oxygen pitting. It also helps loosen biofilm, allowing for speedier cleanup once routine biocide treatments have started. The Croc can be added to a turbulent area at the time of startup after filling the system and turning on the operating pumps.

Be One of the First to Use Cooling Loop Croc™!

With spring on its way in the Northern Hemisphere, it is not too early to think about startup plans for comfort cooling systems. With Cooling Loop Croc™ seeing its first spring on the market, this is an excellent time to take advantage of a new water treatment technology. Contact Cortec® today to prepare for a better spring startup than ever!

NEWS ALERT: Join Us at AMPP 2024 to Celebrate Boris Miksic’s 50th Year in the Industry!

It is almost time for AMPP 2024, and this year is extra special! We invite you to join us at the March conference in New Orleans as we mark a special milestone for Cortec® founder and CEO, Boris Miksic, FNACE: 50 years in the corrosion control industry!

Pierre Crevolin, President of NACE International, delivers the Frank Newman Speller Award to Boris Miksic, FNACE during NACE Expo 2004

Over the last 50 years, Boris has had 66 patents issued to his name and has played a prominent role in the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE, now AMPP). Boris has chaired NACE symposia and task groups, helping to develop important industry test standards. His findings on Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor Technology have been published in AMPP’s Corrosion: The Journal of Science & Engineering. He is listed as an author on 35 NACE/AMPP papers and 16 articles published in AMPP’s Materials Performance magazine or supplement. He won the NACE Frank Newman Speller award in 2004, the same year Cortec® Corporation received the NACE Distinguished Organization Award in New Orleans. Boris has also lectured at NACE conferences as far away as Quito and Abu Dhabi.

In addition to congratulating Boris on this anniversary and listening to his remarkable stories from a half century in corrosion control, you are encouraged to take advantage of the upcoming conference to connect with our sales and technical team for product and technology updates. As usual, AMPP 2024 will also have an almost endless menu of technical content from industry leaders. We especially look forward to having several of our laboratory and technical staff members present papers at various symposia. Cortec® topics are as varied as corrosion in gearboxes, VCIs in compostable film, biobased technology, CUI protection, and flash rust inhibitors in cleaning fluids.

We hope to connect with many of you and, together, to expand our understanding of industry needs and possibilities as we reconvene with thousands of corrosion prevention professionals. Register today and let us know you are coming!
