ABSTRACT
It is essential for operators of industrial process plants to have a program for
controlling corrosion. For such a program to be effective, it should facilitate
safe operation of the process unit over its intended life and maximize
the economic return to the owner. To accomplish these objectives, a corrosion
control program should consider: characteristics (toxicity, flammability, etc.)
of the process; selection of construction materials; control of operating
conditions; addition of neutralizing or inhibition chemicals; and monitoring
to ensure that anticipated results are obtained.
