Abstract

This article summarises some key results of several analysis of corrosion issues in Dung Quat refinery and the selected strategic action plan for this critical matter. Since corrosion is a natural process which happens along the lifetime of the plant, the strategy for securing its mechanical integrity will be updated time by time in line with the site conditions and the company’s inspection and corrosion policy.
