CO2 Corrosion on Natural Gas Compressors: Criteria and Guidelines
Lecture Liquid water and CO2 can easily lead to carbon steel corrosion, especially at high pressures. Corrosion can happen either during normal running or during pressurized standstill conditions. The present paper describes three real cases of gas lift compressors operating in offshore platforms th...
