Temperature is expected to play a significant role in the corrosion of iron pipes in drinking water distribution systems. Temperature impacts many parameters that are critical to pipe corrosion including biological activity, physical properties of the solution, thermodynamic and physical properties of corrosion scale, and chemical rates. Moreover, variations in temperature and temperature gradi...

Background: Determination of water corrosion indexes is one of the affecting approaches on drinking water management. Corrosion can causes economical problems, reduce the useful life of water facilities, and health damages to consumers. The aim of this study was to survey of chemical quality and determination of the corrosion potential of the water distribution system in Bushehr city. Materials...

background & aims of the study: corrosion and scaling play undesirable effects on transmission and distribution system of drinking water. the aim of this study was to assess the corrosion and scaling potential of drinking water resources in babol city. materials and methods: totally, 54 water samples were collected from 27 wells in spring and autumn. calciu m hardness, ph, total alkalinity, tot...

background: scaling and corrosion are the two most important indexes in water quality evaluation. pollutants are released in water due to corrosion of pipelines. the aim of this study is to assess the scale formation and corrosion of drinking water supplies in ilam city (iran). methods: this research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study which is based on the 20 drinking water sources in i...

corrosion makes huge economic and ecologic damage all over the world. biologic corrosion of sewer pipes is considered as a serious limitation in economic perspectives. to prevent biologic corrosive damage, lining techniques can be applied by materials and aggregate resistant to attack bacterially in sewer pipes. the role of bacteria is that they convert sulfur compounds into sulfuric acid which...

Temperature is an often overlooked water quality parameter that may influence corrosion of iron pipes in drinking water distribution systems. This study examined corrosion of cast iron samples in an aerobic, microbially stable water at different constant temperatures (5, 20, and 25°C) as well as in waters where the temperature continuously cycled (17.5 – 23°C and 5 – 20°C). The composition and ...

Previous studies showed that temperature and total organic carbon in drinking water would cause chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)) loss in a water distribution system and affect the efficiency of ClO(2) for Legionella control. However, among the various causes of ClO(2) loss in a drinking water distribution system, the loss of disinfectant due to the reaction with corrosion scales has not been studied i...

The expense of repair and maintenance of private and public sewage systems in Germany runs to about 100 billion US $. This primarily affects concrete pipes and brickwork sewers. Approximately 40 per cent of the damage can be attributed to corrosion by biogenous sulfuric acid attack as a result of long flow periods and insufficient ventilation of waste water. The report deals with investigations...
