Preservation procedure for the idle equipment in refinery...
(OP)
For the in-service refinery, corrosion is a serious problem for the idle equipment. In case of the existing plant (piping system and equipment) will not be used for 2 years. Please advise me about the preservation procedure. Thanks in advance for your recommendation.
