How Do VCIs Work?
Barriers• Acts as a barrier layer between the metal and the environment. • Adsorption can be either physical (electrostatic) or chemical
(sharing electrons)

Vapor Pressure• The pressure exerted by the gas in equilibrium with a solid or liquid in
a closed container at a given temperature is called the vapor pressure.

Definition – Con'tDifferent Chemical Mechanisms for Different Purposes
• Barriers Act as a barrier layer between the metal
and the environment, adsorption can be either physical (electrostatic) or chemical (sharing electrons)
• Passivators• Scavengers• Neutralizer

Enclosure• An enclosed space

WHAT IF?

• No Cathodic Protection (CP)
• Tank is In-Service
• CP System is Aging
• Double Bottom – Limited Clearance
• Liner Under the Sand Pad w/ground-bed
CP
• Concrete or Asphalt Pad
• Pipe Casing - Metallically Shorted

Corrosion cannot be eliminated, it’s mechanism can only be
slowed down
Failure “prevention” provides a better return on investment than
failure “management”

1. VCI’s are a cost effective alternative or
addition to, traditional corrosion protection
methods.
2. VCI’s can be applied to most environments
while the asset is in service.
3. VCI’s are effective for many years and are
easily replenished.
4. VCI’s can be applied to almost any enclosed
environment.
