oxygen scavenger and corrosion inhibitor for corrosion control in steam-generating systems. Although hydrazine is very effec-tive, it is a genotoxic pollutant. The use of alternative chemicals, such as nontoxic corrosion inhibitors, oxygen scavengers, or for Steam
Read More2020/1/23 · The presence of oxygen is also a necessary component of other corrosion mechanisms; however, its role is less obvious. Dissolved oxygen is essential to ammonia corrosion of copper alloy condenser tubes and contributes to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels in steam generators.
Read More2021/10/14 · Advanced methods for controlling boiler tube corrosion and fouling—Part 1. Many heavy industrial plants, such as refineries and petrochemical facilities, require steam for numerous processes, including powering turbines, providing energy for a variety of unit operations and even heating buildings in some locations.
Read MoreIf corrosion and other problems within the steam system are allowed to occur unchecked, then this can impact significantly on the way both the steam generator and business operate. The main causes of steam condensate corrosion in these types of systems are typically oxygen pitting and carbonic acid.
Read MoreAbstract Control of oxygen corrosion is critical to the reliability of steam generator systems. Mechanical deaeration and chemical oxygen scavenging effectively reduce oxygen levels in boiler feedwater systems. This paper reviews the use of sulfites to reduce oxygen
Read More2017/10/22 · The main reason for treating the steam condensate is to prevent corrosion. Corrosion will destroy condensate pipes and will generate corrosion products which will negatively affect the operation of the boiler system, especially if part of the condensate is recovered to be used as boiler feedwater.
Read Morecorrosion rates for Scav-Ox II, plain hydrazine and catalyzed sodium sulfite. Test specimens were placed in the feedwater system of an industrial steam boiler operating at 300 to 400 psig and generating steam at a rate of 2-3 million pounds per day. The oxygen

Read MoreBoiler Oxygen Corrosion. There are few problems associated with steam generation equipment that are seen more often than oxygen corrosion. The damage caused by oxygen can be extensive and quite costly. This type of damage can be easily recognized by the characteristic pitting that results. Oxygen is a natural component of virtually all water
Read MoreMonitoring and controlling corrosion is the primary water treatment objective in the boiler feed water (BFW). The areas of focus in this process are: • Mechanical oxygen removal efficiency at the deaerator. • Chemical oxygen scavenging efficiency and scavenger level. • BFW pH monitoring and control.
Read More2017/8/18 · Chloride pitting was confirmed by chlorides identified in energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra and maps. The pitting failure was caused by initial chloride fluxing of the oxide/scale layering, followed by a chloride concentrating mechanism. The observed pitting can be prevented by water treatment to eliminate the halide ions followed by boiler
Read MoreCorrosion is one of the main causes of reduced reliability in steam generating systems. It is estimated that problems due to boiler system corrosion cost industry billions of dollars per year. Many corrosion problems occur in the hottest areas of the boiler-the water wall, screen, and superheater tubes.
Read MoreMost boiler corrosion is due to dis-solved oxygen carried into the steam generating system with the feed water. The obvious answer to the problem is to get rid of the oxygen before it can cause damage. In most systems, this is done by both mechanical oxygen
