Extend equipment life, maintain throughput, increase operational flexibility
Proper chemical treatment is essential to prevent corrosion in critical and complex production units for hydrocarbon and chemicals processing.
Specialists at GE Water & Process Technologies understand the many factors that can interact and cause corrosive attacks. To maximize your overall profits, they develop customized treatment programs that extend critical equipment runlengths, maintain equipment integrity and maintain maximum efficiency.
Corrosion treatment chemicals available from GE for use in chemicals production and hydrocarbon refining include neutralizers, filmers, and non-nitrogen-based corrosion inhibitors. These chemical programs prevent or mitigate damage from galvanic (two-metal) corrosion, under-deposit corrosion, pitting, intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion. In addition, specialized GE products are available that provide dual capability, addressing two or more of the following functions: filming, neutralizing, dispersing, scavenging and inhibiting.
For refining production, GE's product portfolio includes the following products:
LoSALT™, specifically designed for crude unit overhead corrosion control
ProChem™, which contains a broad range of corrosion control products
Predator™, which includes high-temperature naphthenic acid corrosion control.
For the chemical processing industry, GE's corrosion product portfolio includes:
Styrex for styrene production plants
Petroflo for other chemical production facilities
GE technical specialists can apply the latest technology and innovative products to identify your corrosion problem, prescribe the most cost-effective treatment program, and monitor treatment performance.
