GE Unveils New Corrosion Protection Technology for Refinery Steam Systems

摘要

GE (NYSE: GE) has announced a new corrosion protection technology specifically designed for refinery boiler and steam condensate systems. GE's Steamate* low salt amine (LSA) product series offers enhanced steam-side corrosion protection while providing greater reliability to the crude unit distillation process. Water quality can significantly affect refinery operations, including boilers, cooling units and heat recovery systems, having a direct impact on the equipment. GE's Steamate LSA product series is made up of proprietary blends of volatile amines in combination with GE's unique polyamine surface corrosion inhibitor. This new technology is cost-effective and will provide corrosion protection of refinery boiler and steam-condensate systems while minimizing the potential for formation of corrosive amine salts in crude distillation units where utility steam is used in crude processing.
