Corrosion rates in water-circulation systems at coke plants

Abstract

Means of improving the efficiency of water circulation of coke plants are considered. A systemic approach is adopted. The goal is to minimize corrosion in the water-circulation system by means of phenolic wastewater and corrosion inhibitors. The corrosion rate is investigated as a function of the dose of inhibitor and the operating parameters. On the basis of the models derived, the operation of the water-circulation system at coke plants may be better predicted.
