Re: Sour water leaks
Nickel based or high alloy steels?
---
Sour water corrosion in carbon steel is a complex interplay between numerous factors. Understanding the formation and properties of the FeS layer, the influence of external parameters like temperature, pH, and flow, and the role of the gaseous phase is crucial for mitigating this destructive process. By carefully selecting materials like high-alloy steels or nickel-based alloys and implementing operational practices that minimise H₂S concentration and oxygen ingress, engineers can strive to achieve a delicate balance – ensuring the integrity of equipment while optimizing the efficiency of petroleum refining processes.
