Chloride corrosion
Chloride forms NaCl, Cl2 and HCl in gaseous from
In active oxidation gases react with iron to FeCl2
When in contact with oxygen it reacts back to
Fe2O3 releasing chloride in gas form
Reformed iron oxide layer is porous and does not
offer protection from corrosion
Released chloride can react with fresh iron oxide
and the cycle repeats
Active oxidation mens rapid waste of superheater
