From Guatemala, I have a heavy crude API 14, with 7% sulphur. I want to use in boiler to generate steam. What can I do to minimize the corrosion effect?

In higher temperature areas you should not have much of a problem. In lower temp areas such as cold end of air pre-heater, ductwork after aph, and stack you may have significant corrosion and may have to put in some stainless where carbon was good before.

I agree with met. talk to OEM or just run some short term tests and then shut down and inspect to see if damage is occuring.

To minimize corrosion by dew point, and boiler emissions you have to add some kind of fuel additives try to get some expertise on that, through Baker Petrolite, Nalco Ondeo, Dow Chemicals or others, maybe they will help you.
