Abstract
Cavitation corrosion failure occurred in a venturi scrubber (ejector) made of alloy B-2 (UNS N10665), installed in a continuous catalytic reformer (CCR) unit. The failure occured after 9 months of service. Electron microscopy examination confirmed cavitation corrosion because of condensation of corrosive species such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) and water (H 2O). Preventive anticorrosion measures are discussed.
