There are many industrial processes where the prevention of fouling and corrosion caused by hydrochloric acid or ammonium salts is of great importance. Corrosion is a major problem in distillation equipment of oil refineries, petrochemical plants and industrial processes with high acid loads. In oil refineries, corrosion damage is caused or at least greatly accelerated by hydrochloric acid or under-deposit corrosion of ammonium salts.

Kurita`s ACF Technology is a very effective way to prevent such situations of corrosion or formation of ammonium salt deposits.  ACF products are formulations of a very strong organic base that provides the full base strength of the hydroxide ion.
