CorrView
International, LLC developed following 25 years of providing various specialty
products and services to the commercial and industrial HVAC
industry.
Its principal, Bill Duncan,
began in chemical research and development by offering innovative, hi-tech
answers to various industrial problems; providing solutions in the areas of
ozone generation, ozone destruction, electrostatic precipitation, electrostatic
cooling, phenolic compounding, and wastewater treatment, among
others.
Moving later into the field of
chemical water treatment provided a thorough understanding and working
knowledge of commercial and industrial HVAC systems and their needs. Most
importantly, it provided hands on exposure to the many different forms of
corrosion related damage virtually inevitable in metal piping systems.
Contact CorrView
International, LLC for a background history of the company, and a
personal resume of Bill Duncan.

A ten year career
in chemical water treatment proved the inherent limitations of providing
effective corrosion protection in all applications, under all conditions, and
even given the best efforts and interests. It also proved the importance of not
only carefully and accurately monitoring for corrosion activity, but to quickly
investigate and employ the latest corrective measures when a protective water
treatment program fails. Review some issues and
concerns related to chemical water
treatment.
Years of experience
in the field of chemical water treatment provided exposure to all common forms
of corrosion related piping damage, its identification and possible cause, and
in many cases - successful remediation.
New solutions to common HVAC problems
have included the use of high pressure water jet for removing interior pipe
deposits, remote robotic pipe inspection, metal safe chemical rust removal
formulations, the latest water filtration products, and Teflon coating of
refrigeration machine tubes, among others. It has also led to the evaluation
and recommendation of the latest product innovations related to HVAC plant
operations.

A slight career
shift from chemical water treatment to the related field of ultrasonic pipe
testing (UT) provided a further and more intense understanding of the entire
corrosion issue. This resulted in the development of more advanced testing and
reporting procedures - professional services well recognized as the most
thorough available by building professionals, plant engineers, HVAC
contractors, and the largest consulting engineering firms.
Review various
Technical Bulletins covering the topics of corrosion, ultrasonic testing,
piping specialties, filtration, plant maintenance, and much
more.
Ten years of ultrasonic
testing experience not only documented the inevitable end result of a high
corrosion condition, but where corrosion coupon monitoring was employed -
showed it to be greatly inadequate at reporting realistic corrosion rate
information.

While leaks,
clogged strainers, and debris filled cooling tower pans are obvious signals of
a corrosion related problem, ultrasonic testing has often shown to be the first
and only indication that a high corrosion threat even existed. Proven after
hundreds of ultrasonic investigations, UT has well documented the serious
limitations of corrosion coupons - the primary form of corrosion monitoring
relied upon today.

Following 25
years of documenting the devastating operational and economic effects of
excessive corrosion rates, as well as the frequent failure of building and
plant properties to adequately detect its activity, the idea for CorrView
® was born. We believe it provides significant benefits and
advantages, as detailed throughout this Internet site. CorrView
® has been awarded
Honorable
Mention in the 2004 AHR Expo Innovation Award Competition.

CorrView
International remains committed to providing the highest level of professional
service and excellence possible in all ultrasonic testing investigations.
Review our UT testing
services and procedures.
In
addition to offering our new CorrView ® corrosion
monitor, we continue to investigate and recommend innovative solutions to
problems in various areas of HVAC and plant operations.

Bill Duncan has
authored numerous articles on corrosion for publication in various trade
journals. Reprints of some recent articles are offered below:
We also offer
a wide variety of Technical
Bulletins relating to corrosion, fire protection, piping,
maintenance, and other related issues.
