Benefits include superior health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance and extended bath life over traditional mixed acid pickling systems as well as outstanding corrosion resistance. This is one of several examples of how manufacturers in Europe are benefiting from this process which is now available in the UK and Ireland too. It is designed for manufacturers who need to remove all scale, iron contamination and welding oxides from stainless steel to achieve a fully passivated surface with an even, clean and aesthetic finish. In the drinks industry and for key products such as beer kegs, the surface must be totally free from any traces of pickling agents after the process. In addition, manufacturers face the challenge of increasingly strict HSE regulations on the release of potentially harmful substances, such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in the air and nitrate effluent in water.
