Abstract

The present invention provides an effective method of inhibiting corrosion on metallic surfaces in contact with a fluid contained in an industrial system, which includes adding to such fluid an effective corrosion controlling amount of a phosphoglyceride compound, optionally with emulsified soybean oil.

Claims (9)

1. A method of inhibiting corrosion on metallic surfaces in contact with a fluid contained in an aqueous fluid system, which comprises adding to such fluid in a steam header an effective corrosion controlling amount of an emulsified phosphoglyceride compound selected from the group consisting of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine, wherein the fluid system is selected from the group consisting of boiler water systems, food and beverage systems, and pharmaceutical utility steam.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein said phosphoglyceride compound is derived from soybean oil.

3. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein said compound is added to the fluid system at active treatment levels ranging from about 0.025 to about 50 parts per million.

4. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein said compound is added to the fluid system at active treatment levels ranging from about 0.025 to about 10 parts per million.

5. A method of inhibiting carbon dioxide corrosion on metallic surfaces in contact with a fluid contained in an aqueous fluid system, which comprises adding to such fluid in a steam header an effective corrosion controlling amount of an emulsified phosphatidyl choline compound, wherein the fluid system is selected from the group consisting of boiler water systems, food and beverage systems, and pharmaceutical utility steam.

6. The method as recited in claim 5 wherein said compound is added to the fluid system at active treatment levels ranging from about 0.025 to about 50 parts per million.

7. The method as recited in claim 6 wherein said compound is added to the fluid system at active treatment levels ranging from about 0.025 to about 10 parts per million.

8. A method of inhibiting corrosion on metallic surfaces in contact with a fluid contained in an aqueous fluid system, which comprises adding to such fluid in a steam header an effective corrosion controlling amount of an emulsified phosphoglyceride compound selected from the group consisting of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine, wherein the fluid system is selected from the group consisting of boiler water systems, food and beverage systems, and pharmaceutical utility steam, and said compound is added to the fluid system at active treatment levels ranging from about 1-2 parts per million.

9. The method as recited in claim 8 wherein said phosphoglyceride compound is derived from soybean oil.
