Evaluation of Chloride Corrosion Reduction With Chemical Additives at Maine Energy Recovery

摘要

The evaluation of chloride corrosion inhibitors at Maine Energy Recovery Company is still ongoing and with the favorable results of the testing to date, it is expected that the next round of results will yield corrosion rate reductions beyond the 50% level desired. Phase 5 will begin shortly and results should be available soon. Much has been learned about the science of corrosion monitoring and the chemistry of corrosion in WTE units and a commercial program for this purpose is expected in the coming months.
