  2. Hydrochloric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid

    Hydrochloric acid, also known as muriatic acid or spirits of salt, is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl). It is a colorless solution with a distinctive pungent smell. It is classified as a strong acid. It is a component of the gastric acid in the digestive systems of most animal species, including humans.

  4. Corrosion inhibitors for the petroleum industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_inhibitors_for...

    There are different chemical families of corrosion inhibitors used in the oil industry, among them are the following: Fatty Imidazolines: These are imidazole-based compounds, usually with a long unsaturated chain length, derived mainly from oleic acid. They are very effective in preventing acid corrosion of carbon steel (Figure 1). [5] Figure 1.

  5. Flux (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(metallurgy)

    A mixture of organic acids (resin acids, predominantly abietic acid, with pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, neoabietic acid, dihydroabietic acid, and dehydroabietic acid), rosin is a glassy solid, virtually nonreactive and noncorrosive at normal temperature, but liquid, ionic and mildly reactive to metal oxides at molten state. Rosin tends to ...

  6. Oxygenated treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygenated_treatment

    With oxygenated treatment, oxygen is injected into the feedwater to keep the oxygen level between 30 and 50 ppb. OT programs are most commonly used in supercritical (i.e. >3250psi) power boilers. OT programs are most commonly used in supercritical (i.e. >3250psi) power boilers.

  7. Descaling agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descaling_agent

    Limescale build-up inside a pipe reduces both liquid flow and thermal conduction from the pipe, so will reduce thermal efficiency when used as a heat exchanger.. A descaling agent or chemical descaler is a liquid chemical substance used to remove limescale from metal surfaces in contact with hot water, such as in boilers, water heaters, and kettles.

  8. Flue-gas desulfurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue-gas_desulfurization

    SO 2 can further oxidize into sulfur trioxide (SO 3) when excess oxygen is present and gas temperatures are sufficiently high. At about 800 °C, formation of SO 3 is favored. Another way that SO 3 can be formed is through catalysis by metals in the fuel. Such reaction is particularly true for heavy fuel oil, where a significant amount of ...

  9. High-temperature corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature_corrosion

    High-temperature corrosion is a mechanism of corrosion that takes place when gas turbines, diesel engines, furnaces or other machinery come in contact with hot gas containing certain contaminants. Fuel sometimes contains vanadium compounds or sulfates, which can form low melting point compounds during combustion.
