Description
Corrosion and fouling are unavoidable in chemical process operations, yet both can have severe consequences if left unchecked. This guidebook provides a collection of practical engineering articles addressing corrosion and fouling issues across a variety of process equipment, originally published in Chemical Engineering. Guidance includes preventing, monitoring, and mitigating corrosion in piping, pressure vessels, reactors, heat exchangers, pumps, and more.
