Dear Sir/Madam, I need to utilise a steam generator to produce purified steam from DI water. I am concerned about the corrosion impact on the 316L SS housing of the generator and downstream equipment. How can I protect against this, or am I being over cautious. Many thanks for your help & advice Mark

It is not clear what is meant here by 'pure steam'. Are we talking about steam for any pharmaceutical or food industry use or something else ? Is it superheated or saturated steam and at what pressure/temp. ? The steam purity will depend on the feedwater treatment part. Ordinarily, superheated steam is quite non-corrosive for most of the application & hence your apprehension seems a bit unfounded. In case you need a more detailed answer, please specify the parameters (pr./temp//feedwater treatment details like deaeration, dosing of oxygen scavenger, phosphate treatment if any and final use of steam etc.) With regards
