Corrosion Applications with QEQI®
QEQI® mitigates corrosion by reducing biofouling, treating limescale, and optimising water quality. It helps protect metal components, extends equipment lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs across various industries.
Optimising Corrosion Control with QEQI®
Corrosion is a major challenge in water systems, industrial processes, and heating and cooling applications. It leads to equipment degradation, leaks, inefficiencies, and costly repairs. Corrosion can be caused by factors such as biofilm buildup, oxygen exposure, limescale or other mineral scale and electrochemical reactions in water systems.
QEQI® provides a non-chemical solution to mitigate corrosion by reducing biofilm formation, treating scale, and optimising water conditions. This results in improved equipment durability, reduced maintenance, and extended system life.

QEQI® Solutions for Corrosion: Protection, Longevity, and Chemical-Free Control
Reduces Biofilm-Induced Corrosion
Biofilm buildup can accelerate microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) by creating an environment that promotes metal degradation. QEQI® inhibits biofilm formation, reducing corrosion risks.
Minimises biofilm buildup on pipes, tanks, and heat exchangers
Reduces microbial activity that leads to MIC corrosion
Maintains system cleanliness and improves hygiene
Lowers the need for chemical biocides
Treats Limescale & Minimises Underdeposit Corrosion
Limescale deposits create areas of uneven heat transfer and stagnation, leading to localized corrosion hotspots. QEQI® treats scale formation by keeping minerals in suspension, reducing underdeposit corrosion risks.
Treats scaling in pipes, boilers, and heat exchangers
Reduces corrosion caused by trapped deposits
Improves system efficiency by maintaining clean surfaces
Reduces maintenance frequency and chemical treatments
Minimises Oxygen & Galvanic Corrosion
Corrosion is accelerated when oxygen and different metals interact in a water system. QEQI® helps stabilise water chemistry, reducing the conditions that contribute to galvanic and oxygen-related corrosion.
Minimises oxidation and pitting corrosion risks
Extends the lifespan of metal piping and heat transfer surfaces
Reduces the need for corrosion inhibitors
Improves overall water system reliability
Extends Equipment Lifespan & Reduces Downtime
Corrosion-related damage often leads to costly repairs and unplanned downtime. QEQI® mitigates these issues, extending equipment life and reducing operational disruptions.
