The food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries are some of the most important industries in the world economy according to their production extent, their number of consumers, and their economic and social significance. Technological advances in food processing, equipment, and production plants are growing rapidly—yet corrosion is a costly issue that impacts these industries. The economic effect of corrosion is the loss of billions of dollars that companies are saddled with every year.
For companies involved in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, corrosion prevention is non-negotiable. In these manufacturing industries, corrosion can derail an entire operation, causing enormous financial losses and, far worse, dangerous accidents.
Corroding equipment requires costly repairs and can contaminate the product it contains. Unique challenges faced by food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries must be addressed with extreme cautiousness by experienced professionals.
