Zerion FVS
CORROSION INHIBITOR
CORROSION PROTECTION
This versatile corrosion inhibiting product is widely used in applications where there are vapor spaces requiring the use of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) and also the possibility of water ingress that requires a strong Soluble Corrosion Inhibitor (SCI) to neutralize contaminants. Some of these applications include the following: aboveground storage tank (AST) soil side bottoms (SSB), long term preservation/mothballing of offshore structures, hydrostatic testing of complex vessels or systems, protection of voids and enclosures.
Product DESCRIPTION
Zerion® FVS is a cutting-edge corrosion inhibitor designed to protect ferrous metals in aggressive environments with water, moisture, or water ingress. It offers best-in-class dual-action protection through: Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs): Shielding air space voids, exposed metal surfaces, welded joints, crevices, and coating holidays. Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors (SCIs): Neutralizing corrosion caused by moisture or water ingress. This powerful combination penetrates gaps and interstices in enclosed voids, delivering comprehensive protection.
Recommended Product Applications / Guidelines
Zerion FVS has been used in multiple tank soil side bottom installations. FVS can be diluted with water and injected into sand/soil base or introduced as a powder during tank construction or bottom plate refurbishment. Even for tanks with concrete pad foundations, FVS in slurry form can be introduced into the spaces between the plates and the concrete to provide corrosion protection. Zerust has also pioneered a VCI Ring system using FVS if there is no liquid injection. This VCI Ring system is recommended for all SSB installations.
- Aboveground Storage Tank Soil Side Bottoms: Diluted or powdered Zerion FVS protects tank bottoms during construction, refurbishment, or on concrete pads. VCI Ring system is available for installations without liquid injection.
- Pipe Casing and Pipeline Preservation: Corrosion inhibitors and gels protect carrier pipelines using Soluble and Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors.
- Protection of Voids/Enclosures: Provides up to 2 years of protection for exposed steel in large voids or enclosures using solution or powder.
- Hydrostatic Testing: Zerion FVS protects steel surfaces, air pockets, and voids during testing; compatible with DI, RO, or low-chlorine water.
- Offshore Structure Preservation: Delivers long-term corrosion protection for offshore structures in harsh environments.
- Additional Applications: Effective for enclosure protection, hydrostatic testing of complex systems, and preserving critical infrastructure.
