Corrosion inhibition of closed cooling water auxiliary system for nuclear power plants and other applications

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A potassium inhibitive blend and corrosion protection method of closed cooling water systems. The closed cooling system circulates about 35 to 40 gallons of corrosion inhibitor per 10,000 gallons of circulating water. The corrosion inhibitor contains potassium molybdate, potassium nitrite, and potassium borate in an aqueous solution so that if leakage of the circulated water occurs, the leaked corrosion inhibitive liquid does not cause dangerous radiation in any amounts dangerous to the environment. The potassium molybdate and potassium nitrate each constitute about 12% of the aqueous solution. Potassium based borate at 2 to 2.5% ethylene glycol, preferably at about 10% and benzotriazole …
