Corrosion in Thermal Desalination Processes: Forms and Mitigation Practices

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Corrosion and Fouling Control in Desalination Industry

Abstract

When talking about seawater thermal desalination, continuous operation in harsh environments comes directly to our mind. Thus, materials integrity and plant reliability is a major concern for plant managers to satisfy the increasing water demand in arid countries. Either in Multi-Stage-Flashing (MSF) or Multi-Effet-Desalination (MED) process, hot seawater and brine are the main threats to both static and rotating equipment. In the present chapter, different expected forms of corrosion with their mitigation practices will be described. This will include two main sections: pretreatment and the desalting system where three media will be considered i.e. seawater, brine and vapors. The mitigation practices will include material selection, environment control (chemical and physical) and monitoring (direct and indirect) activity.
