Improved
corrosion control in refinery steam systems
Scott Jenkins
GE Power & Water has introduced an innovative, dual pronged
approach to corrosion inhibition for boiler and steam-condensate systems in
petroleum refineries. The technology is designed to prevent attack by acidic
species on steam-system surfaces, providing reliability to the refining process
and helping to maximize profitability.
Trade named Steamate Low Salt Amine (LSA),
this new series of products involves a specially designed set of volatile
amines to neutralize acidic contaminants, primarily CO2, in steam condensate.
In addition, the Steamate LSA series products can include a unique, volatile,
surface-corrosion inhibitor, referred to as a "polyamine," that forms
a robust barrier film on boiler system surfaces to restrict access of corrosive
species.
