The article looks at the corrosion issues surrounding the U.S. power and paper industries. The prevention of corrosion is not a one-size fits all solution. In fact, there are strategies and techniques for varying corrosion conundrums and costs billions of dollars a year. Corrosion occurs more rapidly as impurities concentrate in under-deposit corrosion. Corrosion and deposition in water chemistry is difficult to control. The power industry is responding to the problem by monitoring dissolved oxygen. Companies use sensors sensitive to parts per billion levels of oxygen to help control the pH.
