Economic Analysis of Corrosion Control In Petroleum Refineries

Abstract

Economic analysis of corrosion problems and their prevention or control was found to gain very little importance in the last 10 years according to the published work surveyed. This article surveys the most important work in this area and shows the magnitude of corrosion problems as cost analysis measures indicate. It also refers to the need for continuous research in this field of vital importance in the coming era. Data from several sources have been tabulated to highlight the magnitude of the corrosion problems, rates, and costs.
