The authors discuss a study conducted on the rate of corrosion of wood pyrolysis oils in presence of carbon and stainless steel plates. Tests were performed to simulate the conditions existing in storage tanks. The effects of temperature, water content and acetic/formic acid concentration on the rate of corrosion of metals were studied, as well as their possible interaction effects. The method used involved a factorial design of experiments. All primary effects with their interactions were found statistically significant.
