Methods used to reduce corrosion in a high pressure steam generating plant are reviewed. Factors involved in the formation, transportation and deposition of corrosion products within the plant's cycle are discussed in detail. Attention is given in the discussion to such matters as water conditioning, feedwater and steam concentrations, corrosion of steam lines, turbine blade deposits, the collecting of dissolved gases in condensers, and dissolved oxygen scavengers. Under certain abnormal conditions (erection of plant, low load operation, and shutdown periods), the chemist may have relatively little control over the corrosion occurring. 8.2.2
