Flue Gas Dew Point Corrosion: Mechanism and Implications Flue gas dew point corrosion is a complex electrochemical process that occurs when flue gases cool below their acid dew point temperature. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in industrial systems involving combustion processes, such as power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities. The corrosion mechanism involves: Condensation […]

Introduction Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) is critical in nuclear power plants, particularly within Moisture Separator Reheater (MSR) components. MSR internals, including moisture separator drains and reheater tubes, are constantly exposed to high-velocity, high-temperature steam laden with moisture and aggressive impurities. This environment creates a perfect storm for FAC, leading to rapid material degradation, compromised component integrity, […]

Overhead Corrosion in Refineries Corrosion in the overhead section of pressure vessels, known as overhead corrosion, is a significant challenge the energy industry faces. This type of corrosion can occur in both primary units, such as crude distillation units (CDU) and vacuum distillation units (VDU), as well as secondary units like absorbers, fractionators and strippers. […]
