When equipment is idle, it is vulnerable to atmospheric corrosion, especially in high-chloride environments. This exposure can lead to metal corrosion, valve seizure, bearing damage, seal degradation, and unprotected surfaces absorbing moisture due to high humidity.
If preservation measures are inadequate, these issues often go unnoticed until re-commissioning, leading to defect identification, repairs, and inspections. This can increase costs and delay operations, particularly when swift resolution is essential to resume plant activity.
A preservation program managed or supervised by Presserv shows its value throughout the storage period, but the greatest advantage is realized at re-commissioning, where the occurrence of corrosion-related issues is significantly minimized.
