What Is Derouging? Causes of Rouge in Stainless Steel and How to Remove It
Post Rouge is iron oxide contamination that deposits on the internal surfaces of stainless steel systems, particularly in pharmaceutical, biotech, and high-purity processing environments that handle water or steam at elevated temperatures. It appears as a reddish-brown, orange, or dark deposit on tubing, vessel walls, and fittings. Derouging is the chemical process that removes it. […]
Understand the fundamentals of Derouging and the preventative measures to control stainless steel systems.
Post Rouge is a type of surface corrosion adhered to stainless steel surfaces. Rouging is an ongoing maintenance issue for industries that operate stainless steel systems with high purity water running at elevated temperatures. The combination of high temperature and pure water or steam will often allow the formation of iron oxides that proliferate throughout […]
