Styrene Corrosion Control

CO₂ dissolved in water creates a corrosive environment. Throughout the styrene units, areas where steam condensation takes place are high-risk areas for corrosion. These include the after reactor coolers before the hydrocarbon water separator, overhead condensers where steam condenses, vent gas compressor after cooler area and overhead of the process water stripper. 

Nalco Champion provides leading corrosion inhibition technologies to address your plant’s corrosion control challenges. Our technologies include both amine-based neutralizers and non-nitrogen containing filmers in places where nitrogen poisoning might be a concern. Our professional on-site service teams provide regular program monitoring to ensure corrosion inhibitor performance. Our advantages include:

• Comprehensive system survey and risk assessment prior to program proposal
• Custom-designed program to ensure safety
• Proprietary amine blends as well as non-nitrogen containing filmers
• Global technical support resources
