The Control of Two-Phase Flow-Accelerated Corrosion
Sponsored by:Flow-accelerated or flow-assisted corrosion (FAC) is the uncontrolled dissolution and transportation of iron oxides in a steam-water cycle system that occurs in both single-phase locations (water) and two-phase locations (water and steam). Single-phase FAC can be mitigated by chemical controls, but two-phase FAC remains largely unaddressed by industry’s available product options due to the challenging nature […]
