Corrosion costs and corrosion economics
Corrosion Cost Estimation
Investing in corrosion control is a profitable investment. Corrosion control is valuable when we have the necessary information on the quantitative comparison between the associated value and the total corrosion costs.
In Canada, there are 580,000 kilometers of underground pipelines, which contribute billions of dollars to the Canadian economy. In the United States, there are about two million kilometers of underground natural gas pipelines and 280,000 kilometers of petroleum product pipelines. The cost of replacing and repairing such equipment due to corrosion is billions of dollars.
Failure to pay attention to corrosion problems in any industrial and manufacturing unit results in hidden costs that are impossible to avoid. Economic considerations are essential in any corrosion control method. Of course, there is no need to choose the most expensive corrosion control methods, because the costs incurred may not be economically justified and waste capital.
The first essential step in corrosion economics is to choose an appropriate method in order to minimize costs. These costs can include: production and equipment costs, loss of valuable products, undesirable product appearance, environmental costs, etc.
The importance of statistics in determining corrosion damage
Without access to statistics and information, prioritization and formulation of a comprehensive policy to combat corrosion in order to maintain and protect industrial equipment is not possible. The study of economic and environmental losses due to corrosion will be accurate when we have comprehensive statistics on the volume of corrosion damage to industries. Until accurate statistics on costs in various industrial units are provided, it is not possible to estimate costs, and this causes a high percentage of the country's national income to be lost. Therefore, accurate planning to determine the direct and indirect cost of corrosion seems necessary.
Most experts consider the need for a fundamental move in preparing completely official statistics on corrosion to be necessary and essential, so that the dimensions of corrosion in all industries can be fully determined. Then, by formulating a corrosion prevention strategy, the country's industries can be required to include a series of minimums in the field of corrosion in their management.

Effect of chlorine ions on stainless steels
The effect of chlorine and chloride parameters on the corrosion of stainless steels and the parameters affecting their corrosion rate, as well as the acceptable limits of chlorine ion levels in water and the differences in the effects of free chlorine and chloride on the corrosion of corrosion-resistant steels, are stated.
Caustic corrosion
Localized corrosion caused by the concentration of caustic or alkaline salts, which usually occurs under conditions of high evaporation or heat transfer. Caustic salt or caustic soda is one of the most widely used ionic compounds and is used in various industries including water treatment, cardboard and paper production, oil and refinery industries, aluminum production industries, food industries, alcohol production and glass.
Corrosion and deposition of cooling water based on API 571
It refers to general or localized corrosion of carbon steels and other metals caused by dissolved salts, gases, organic compounds, or microbiological activity.
Microbial corrosion based on API 571
Microbial corrosion is a type of corrosion caused by living organisms such as bacteria, algae, or fungi. This type of corrosion is often associated with tubercles or slimy organic materials.
Corrosion process in different environments
Corrosion processes are divided into three groups in a more comprehensive classification: corrosion in aqueous solutions or environments, corrosion in molten salts and liquid metals, and corrosion in gases.
Oil-soluble corrosion inhibitor for the protection of oil transfer and storage equipment
Corrosion is a natural phenomenon that occurs as a result of the electrochemical reaction of metal with the surrounding environment. In the oil and gas industry, corrosion is one of the major problems that accounts for a huge amount of money annually. Part of these amounts are related to the corrosion of pipes or oil transmission lines. Effective ways to prevent corrosion of oil transmission and storage equipment are divided into two categories: physical and chemical solutions.
couponing
The coupon method or corrosion coupons is the simplest method of corrosion monitoring. Coupons are the oldest corrosion monitoring tool. Corrosion coupons are small pieces of metal or alloy of the material of interest that are immersed in the process medium and removed after a specified period of time and their weight or dimension loss is evaluated and examined.
Deaerators
Deaerators are mechanical devices that remove dissolved gases from the boiler feedwater. By reducing the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the solution, they minimize corrosion and protect the boiler from the effects of corrosive gases.
