Use of polyphosphate in corrosion control

Abstract: Case studies from three Wisconsin utilities found that polyphosphate blends used for corrosion control led to increased metal concentrations in the water. When polyphosphate blends are added to water systems under certain conditions, leaching of pipe metal into the water may be significantly increased rather than decreased. Case studies of three Wisconsin water utilities uncovered possible negative consequences of using polyphosphate for corrosion control. These experiences suggest that water providers must ex… Show more

“…Orthophosphates, polyphosphates compounds, etc were used to form protective barrier to provide corrosion protection through cathodic action. [6][7][8] However, the phosphate programs did not provide the passive oxide film induced by chromate. Godlewski discovered inorganic orthophosphate together with acrylic acid (AA)-hydroxy lower alkyl acrylate to establish the elusive passive oxide film on metallic surfaces.…”

“…Orthophosphate can decrease copper and lead levels (Holm and Schock 1991;Dodrill and Edwards 1995;Schock et al 1996;Cantor et al 2000), but in some cases, the phosphate inhibitor can be consumed by prolonged contact with unlined iron pipe (McNeill and Edwards 2002;. Polyphosphate inhibitors, which tend to increase lead and copper solubility, can hydrolyze and revert to orthophosphate with higher water age (Goldberg 1995;Edwards et al 2001;U.S.…”

“…One study reported that although one of the water systems involved had always been in compliance with the LCR, newly built or remodelled houses in the service area had very high concentrations of copper, often exceeding the action level (Cantor et al 2000). LCR testing focuses on older, 'high risk' buildings, including those built within five years of the 1986 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Nadja F.
