In the ever-evolving world of wastewater treatment, maintaining the integrity and functionality of critical equipment is paramount. Today, we are excited to share a compelling Cortec Corporation case history that highlights the innovative solutions we implemented for a client to protect their HMI electronics panels at a wastewater treatment facility.

The Challenge

Wastewater treatment facilities often operate in highly corrosive environments, posing significant challenges to the longevity and reliability of equipment. For our client, the pump houses responsible for moving water through the city's extensive sewer system faced recurring issues with corrosion on HMI (human machine interface) electronics panels. These failures not only disrupted operations but also incurred substantial costs, with replacements ranging from $15,000 to $40,000 each.

The Results

The results of our preservation services were nothing short of remarkable. One year after the implementation, the wastewater plant had not experienced a single HMI panel failure, a stark contrast to the two to four replacements typically required annually. This proactive approach not only saved our client tens of thousands of dollars in direct costs but also minimized downtime and labor expenses.

Why This Matters

This case history is a testament to the importance of investing in effective preservation and corrosion protection solutions. By adopting these measures, our client was able to enhance the reliability and longevity of their critical equipment, ensuring uninterrupted operations and significant cost savings.
