CO2 dissolved in water creates a corrosive environment. Throughout the styrene units, areas where steam condensation takes place are high-risk areas for corrosion. These include the after reactor coolers before the hydrocarbon water separator, overhead condensers where steam condenses, vent gas compressor after cooler area and overhead of the process water stripper.
