Abstract
Corrosion in alkanolamine plants can be caused by a number of factors. Guidelines are given to maintain solvent cleanliness, acid gas loadings, solvent velocity and metallurgy required to minimize the effects of corrosion. Also, sources and ways to minimize the corrosive effects of CO, heat stable amine salts (HSAS), oxygen and ammonia are presented.
