Corrosion Mechanisms

Four interacting contributors: electrochemical corrosion in conductive water, chloride/sulphide attack on passive films; acidic species associated with CO₂/H₂S; oxygen ingress and differential-aeration/crevice attack; and microbiologically influenced corrosion. Temperature, salinity, gases, oxygen and microbiology must be assessed together. Numerical temperature/rate generalisations in the source are not universal design rules.

Corrosion Selection Matrix

Historical source costs, RMB/tonne water. Acidic CO₂/H₂S: titanium alloy + imidazoline inhibitor; alternative epoxy + alkaline neutralisation; 1.5-3.0. High chloride: duplex steel + impressed-current protection; alternative molybdate blend; 2.0-4.0. Oxygen: vacuum deaeration + passivating inhibitor; alternative sodium sulphite + ceramic coating; 0.8-1.5. Microbial: chlorine dioxide + antimicrobial coating; alternative UV + quaternary-ammonium flushing; 1.2-2.5. Under-deposit: PESA antiscalant + dynamic pH control + eddy-current cleaning; alternative chemical cleaning + polishing; 1.0-2.2. Source-listed options and indicative costs, not prescriptions or current prices.
