This article examines the variety of techniques used by utilities to control corrosion. The article includes field experiences on the use of methyl ethyl ketoxime as an alternative to the toxic hydrazine and experiences in monitoring for dissolved oxygen, levels of iron, copper, ammonia, cation conductivity and scavenger residuals. The methyl ethyl ketoxime was tested in a 2,400-psig, 1,000 F superheat steam generator and three bayonet-type boilers at 752 F.
