Abstract
It is essential to select a proper material of construction for fabrication of the process units and pi**; and for the machinery to be used. Operating conditions and properties of all substances which shall be handled are to be examined in detail. Selection of proper MOC shall be confirmed after study of the properties of the MOC.
Appropriate refractory linings/corrosion-resistant linings and coatings shall be provided to the equipment to protect them from severe operating conditions of high temperature, corrosive conditions, etc. Galvanic corrosion shall be controlled by sacrificial anodic or impressed cathodic protection to the equipment and structures.
