OnLine NobleChem Mitigation of SCC at Parts per Trillion Level
Peter L. Andresen
In oxidizing environments electrocatalysis is a very effective SCC
mitigation approach provided there is a stoichiometric excess of
reductants over oxidants. This paper summarizes the mechanisms and
criteria for effective SCC mitigation, with particular focus on the
critical location for the catalyst in a crack and recent experimental
support for these concepts. Optimization of electrocatalysis by On-Line
NobleChem? is described, with emphasis on experimental evidence for
mitigation at < 0.1 ppb Pt.
