Stabilizer tower corrosion is a common challenge in hydroprocessing operations, particularly in the presence of chloride contamination. Chlorides can react with ammonia to form ammonium chloride salts, leading to under deposit corrosion and localized damage where water condensation occurs. Limited water in the system can further concentrate corrosive species, increasing risk to critical equipment.
Nalco Water programs address these conditions with targeted corrosion inhibitors and salt dispersants designed to control inorganic salt deposition, reduce corrosion potential, and support overall unit reliability. Film forming technologies and dispersant chemistries work together to protect metal surfaces across high pH and salting environments, helping maintain consistent operation and extend equipment life.
