When routine maintenance proves providential. Following the usual routine maintenance activities on some cooling towers not produced by Decsa for a Client based in the province of Alessandria and specialized in the production of special polymers, our Technicians found a corrosion problem on the cooling towers, which was later solved with the special DecsaProt paint.
It is spring 2024 when Decsa's Service team travels to the Customer, a major chemical company based in the province of Alexandria, Italy, to carry out the usual planned ordinary maintenance on four cooling towers not manufactured by Decsa.
During the intervention, Decsa Technicians found a significant corrosion problem inside the water basin of the units installed at the plant. After a careful analysis of the problem, the bid definition and formalization of the order (September 2024) followed.
The intervention, carried out in a timely manner as early as October 2024, first consisted of the removal of corrosion formed inside the water collection basin of two of the NON-Decsa manufactured cooling towers installed at the site. Subsequently, Decsa's Service technicians proceeded with the related application of DecsaProt painting (note that due to plant requirements, the Client requested painting for only two units, postponing the intervention for the other two until next year).
DecsaProt treatment, in fact is indicated for the recovery of damaged components and consists of a cleaning operation from present corrosion and subsequent repainting of galvanized steel components with a special paint called "DecsaProt."
Applicable even on cooling towers not manufactured by Decsa, this coating can extend the life of the unit, limiting rust reforming and achieving an attractive safeguard of the main investment*.
Once again we see the importance of carrying out the usual routine maintenance activities to preserve the performance of the cooling tower and prevent downtime equipment.
With our scheduled maintenance service, it is possible to schedule periodic interventions by Decsa Service (with annual or multi-year contracts) to ensure routine maintenance of cooling tower components and control of perishable parts. Moreover, entering into a maintenance contract allows the Customer to have priority in the management of interventions, ordinary and extraordinary, as well as an ad-hoc price list.
*It should be specified that although painting is an important protection against corrosion, it is essential to check the proper treatment of water in cooling towers; another activity that, if requested, is offered free of charge by Decsa using professionals in the field.
