There are many datas to backup the fact that corrosion is a huge issue in Petroleum Refining Industry particularly in the United States. As implied by an study published by NACE International, the particular concern in United States’ Petroleum and Refining industry is necessary because the United States is the largest refining capacity in the world. In 1996 in the United States, the total cost due to corrosion related problems was $3.7 billion. Out of this total cost, maintenance expenses was $1.8 billion, vessel expense was $1.4 billion and fouling cost was about $0.5 billion, annually (Koch).
