Material performance and corrosion resistance in multistage flash (MSF) plants are considered among the most important drives and central issues in promoting the advancement of this technology. This study was aimed at testing materials of construction of high, medium, and low temperature stages of t

The present investigation was undertaken to shed light on the failure of some 90/10 Cu-Ni condenser tubes in a MSF distiller. The tubes showed numerous tiny pits of unusual features. Particles of C were discovered inside the tubes and were suspected of initiating micro-galvanic cells leading to pitt

This paper reports studies related to problems of vapour-side corrosion of copper/nickel alloys in multistage flash desalination plant. The main objective of the work was to obtain basic information and understanding of the corrosion behaviour of copper/nickel alloys in distilled water over a range

During the past 15 years of R&D program in seawater desalination at KISR, many metals and alloys have been studied for their corrosion behavior. Stainless steels, nickel-base alloys, titanium among the groups of alloys that were evaluated. Linear polarization, cyclic polarization, open-circuit poten
