Corrosion in steam generation systems causes many problems in refineries, gas plants and petrochemical plants. Corrosion in boilers is a function of the concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide and ammonia and the way these species are controlled, and in some cases is caused by the presence of hydroxide and chloride anions or high concentrations of chelating chemicals in the boiler water.

The electrical conductivity (EC) of water is a measure of the ability of water to conduct an electric current. This ability is directly related to the concentration of conductive ions in the water. These conductive ions are caused by the presence of inorganic substances such as chlorides, alkalis, carbonate compounds, and sulfides, and dissolved salts. Most metals are excellent conductors of electricity because of the large number of free electrons.
