Abstract

This article is concerned primarily with corrosion and associated subjects as encountered at the two plants of The Dow Chemical Co., Freeport, Texas. The firm has an investment in this area in excess of $200 million (£71 million) and produces a variety of organic products, plastics, magnesium, bromine, chlorine and caustic soda as well as many related items. The plants are located about six miles apart on the coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico where climatic, physiographical and industrial conditions are such that corrosion control is imperative to successful operation. This is the first of two articles; the second part, pertaining to sea‐water corrosion, will appear in CORROSION TECHNOLOGY next month.
