Abstract

The secondary coolant of RSG GAS is an open system whose components are easy to interact with oxygen from surrounding environment to initiate corrosion. Corrosion controls are usually done by adding inhibitors. Dukem inhibitors are one alternative substitute inhibitor that may be used in the secondary cooling system of RSG GAS. The purpose of this study is to find out the optimum dukem concentration that needs to be added to RSG GAS secondary cooling system and to understand the interaction phenomenon between dukem inhibitors and AISI 1010 material. The analysis of orthophospat content as an active compound in dukem inhibitors is done by FTIR and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The phenomenon of interaction between inhibitors and material is studied by FTIR, SEM and XRD. Corrosion test with potentiostat is performed to assess the optimal concentration of dukem inhibitor which should be added. From the results of FTIR analysis, it is known that the active compounds in dukem inhibitors are ortho-phosphate. The analysis using UV-vis spectrophotometer showed that orthophospat concentration is 4.2 ppm. The SEM analysis demonstrated the presence of an inhibitor layer, which is capable of masking the surface porosity. The AISI 1010 material has better corrosion resistance when inhibitor was injected to the coolant of 150 ppm. The corrosion rate decreased by by 45.20% from 10.95 mpy to 6.02 mpy. The type of dukem inhibitor is mixed type inhibitor. Visually, corrosion product was not formed in the AISI 1010 surface during immersed in the inhibitor solution but it is clearly adhered on surface when immersed in solution added by inhibitors. It can be concluded that dukem inhibitors can be used as inhibitors in RSG GAS secondary cooling systems.
