今天的水处理厂和储存设施正在不断增加 腐蚀速率。有前所未有的钱要花在 美国的基础设施，需要了解并减少 腐蚀是最重要的。而在水中使用最先进的技术 处理设施有利于设施所在的社区， 它们反过来带来了固有的问题，比如加速腐蚀， 混凝土侵蚀、腐蚀性气体和酸性环境。 为了避免 饮用水感官质量、味道和气味问题恶化 需要在整个处理和分配/存储系统中解决。 了解美国公共供水系统中的腐蚀及其原因 它的背后是解决问题的第一步。新技术结合 保护涂层、阴极保护和金属合金将成为 保持公众对水处理和储存的信心 过程包括5个参考文献、图表。

Today's water treatment plants and storage facilities are undergoing increasing rates of corrosion. With unprecedented amounts of money to be spent on America's infrastructure, the need to understand and reduce the effects of corrosion is paramount. While the use of state of the art technologies in water treatment facilities benefits the communities in which the facilities are located, they in turn bring with them inherent issues such as accelerated corrosion, concrete erosion, corrosive gasses and acidic environments. To avoid the deterioration of the drinking water's organoleptic quality, taste and odor issues need to be addressed throughout the treatment and distribution/storage systems. Understanding corrosion within America's public water supply and the causes behind it is the first step towards a solution. New technologies incorporating protective coatings, cathodic protection and metallic alloys will become necessary to maintain the public's confidence in the water treatment and storage process.
