Improving Localized Corroson in a Complex Cooling Water System

摘要

Historically, water systems in industry have not received the same attention as process systems. Until a problem orfailure occurred, water systems were typically considered a cost center whereas the process systems were a profit center. As a result, many water systems evolved into applications that in today's standards would not be considered a viable option for new construction. One such system exists at DuPont Sabine in Orange, Texas. The purpose of this paper is to document how this large, multifunctional, cooling water system has been revised to meet the plant cooling requirements while maintaining acceptable corrosion and deposition control.
