Description
Corrosion and fouling can wreak havoc in many chemical process operations, negatively impacting process performance, reducing chemical-conversion rates and product yield, lowering energy efficiency, and increasing costs associated with maintenance and repairs. Uncontrolled fouling or corrosion in process equipment can lead to unscheduled downtime and, in extreme cases, catastrophic failure, creating safety risks for personnel and surrounding communities.
This PDF contains practical engineering articles focused on corrosion-related issues in chemical process equipment. Originally published in Chemical Engineering from 2010 to 2018, the articles provide actionable guidance for managing and monitoring corrosion in pressure vessels, reactors, heaters, boilers, pumps, condensers, gas turbines, flares, piping systems, and storage tanks.
