Summary of the lecture
This course outlines how stainless steels—especially Types 304L and 316L—perform in potable water treatment plants and explains the factors needed to ensure long-term, corrosion-free operation. It covers grade selection, piping design, fabrication practices, start-up procedures, and maintenance strategies that help prevent crevice corrosion, MIC, and under-deposit attack. Practical guidance is provided for managing chlorides, oxidizers, flow conditions, weld quality, and surface cleanliness to support reliable service in both raw and finished water systems.
What you will learn:
-
- Identify the most suitable stainless steel grades for different sections of potable water treatment systems.
- Understand how chlorides, oxidizers, flow rate, and stagnation influence corrosion behavior.
- Recognize the importance of weld quality, heat-tint oxide removal, and proper fabrication techniques.
- Apply design principles that minimize crevice formation, sediment buildup, and MIC risk.
- Implement effective start-up and operational practices to maintain stainless steel in its most corrosion-resistant condition.
- Evaluate when alternative alloys or higher-molybdenum grades may be required in more aggressive environments.
