Investigating the corrosivity of evaporator condensates and the contributing factors : final report 2020/204
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021) Woods, P; Arzaghi, E
Recent studies of steam efficient evaporator stations in Australian factories have shown that sucrose degradation and the subsequent formation of acids in the juice produces final evaporator condensates of low pH (sometimes less than 5). Using corrosion coupons this study investigated the corrosivity of final condensates at four factories for four materials commonly used in the construction of evaporators and the ancillary pipework. As well, on-line measurements of pH and instantaneous corrosion rates were made.
