Tiếng ViệtTHE SILENT KILLERS IN EVERY INDUSTRY.
Machines and equipment are the bread and butter of most businesses and industries. And for any industry leader, hidden costs and unprecedented accidents are a cause for major concern.
But when was the last time you checked for signs of rust and corrosion? Both chemical processes manifest so gradually in the nooks and crannies of your facilities that they commonly go unnoticed. But both impose catastrophic effects.
On a social level, rust and corrosion can be a threat to the following:
- Safety due to sudden industrial failures that can cause fires, explosions, or collapse of infrastructures.
- Health due to pollution and toxics escaping from corroded equipment or products.
- Depletion of natural resources, including metals and the fuels used to manufacture them.
On a larger scale, industrial equipment, facilities, and manufacturing plants are subject to higher rates of corrosion due to harsh operating and environmental conditions, as well as exposure to corrosive chemicals. Rust and corrosion can lead to structural failure or loss of containment, costly repairs, loss or contamination of products, environmental damage, risk to personnel, and loss of public confidence.
In short, rust and corrosion leads to a long-term loss of investment.
The effects are universal.
According to a recent research by Curtin University, Australia pays $30 billion each year due to the effects of corrosion.
Across the Pacific, corrosion of metals costs the U.S. economy almost $300 billion per year, according to a study performed by Battelle Columbus Laboratories and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The Philippines is no exception to the consequences of rust and corrosion as both an archipelagic and tropical country, subject to multiple typhoons and floods each year.
The iconic, 127 year-old, all-steel San Sebastian Church is the most recent victim of corrosion.
To save this “architectural marvel” and national treasure, officials have embarked on a US$6 million restoration project — a process that may take more than 10 years to complete.
