Failures due to corrosion are a common thing in electronics used in control rooms. Critical control rooms need to work without any downtime as the operations are crucial. Electronic process-control equipment which varies from remote sensors to distributed control systems makes any facility functional and operational and keeps them up and running. To achieve this, it requires the correct sensor functioning, communications, and process control. But eventually it is being observed that these critical electronics are catastrophically failing due to the damaging environment in which they are functioning. Please refer the article- Electronics failures and corrosion in industries to know more about the corrosion on electronics.
The working environment must be managed by employing
proper corrosion
monitoring units and corrosion control equipment to
prevent corrosion in control rooms. In this article, let us try to understand
the 5 major benefits of corrosion control and monitoring.
Benefits
of Corrosion monitoring and control.
- Reduction in the
maintenance cost.
The cost of maintenance
of a control room can be phenomenal. Most of the maintenance goes in towards
the replacement of sensors or controls which have failed due to corrosion.
- increasing
the longevity of hardware equipment
The lifespan of electronics
working in an unsafe environment will vary from a few weeks or months depending
on the severity. For example, a sensor whose lifespan is expected to be 2-3 years might fail within 12-18
months. Adequate Corrosion control measures can increase the lifespan of electronic hardware.
- Prevents operational
losses
Corroded equipment can disrupt the entire
functioning of control rooms when it breaks down causing unexpected delays and
loss. Proper monitoring techniques can identify the severity of the operational
environment and prevent this disruption from happening.
- Enables a
healthy and safer environment for employees
Failures due to corrosion not only puts a company’s revenue at risk but also poses a threat towards its employees. Most of the catastrophic failures are due to short circuiting of electronics which is a greater threat towards health and safety of employees as well as the premises. Effective corrosion management can prevent failures of electronics.
- Increases productivity
All the time saved with good corrosion management will be fruitful towards increasing productivity and revenue.
