Reboiler Corrosion
Reboiler Corrosion
(OP)
We are currently experiencing severe corrosion in our reboiler. Two main chemical streams pass through the reboiler at differnet times but never together. These are Water & Acetone and the other is Methanol, DMAc and Water.
Can anyone tell me what is the most likely cause/reaction of the corrosion and how I might go about eliminating/slowing it down?
Thanks
Paul

The two streams that go through the reboiler separtately are:
A)Acetone(35%) & Water(65%)
and
B)DMAc(10%),Methanol(60%) & Water(30%)
Generally, the steam supply to the reboiler is 1.5bar(g).
Hope that this is enough info for you.
Thanks
