Major Problems due to Corrosion:-
- Metal loss (capital loss)
- System leakage or burst
- Water / Fluid contamination
- Poor heat transfer (power loss)
- Corrosions are of various types and differ with application to application.
A boiler is a steam generating device which is used to generate steam by applying heat energy to water. It can be said that older steam boilers worked at low to medium pressure. When water is converted to steam it expands in volume over 1,000 times and travels down through steam pipes at over 100 kilometers/hr. As this steam is a great way of moving heat and energy around a site from a central boiler house to where it is needed, but without the right boiler feed water treatment, a steam-raising plant will suffer from scale formation and corrosion. For this reason we have to apply different boiler corrosion inhibitors so that a steam generating boiler operates in an almost corrosion and scale free condition.
Major Types of Boiler Corrosion:-
- Uniform/General Corrosion due to high temperature
- Pitting Corrosion due to high temperature and chloride
- Galvanic Corrosion due to multi-metals
- Oxidation Corrosion due to oxygen and carbon dioxide
- Stress Cracking Corrosion due to high pressure and temp.
