Assessing the potential of inhibitors and essential drugs toward corrosion preventive measure

Corrosion as a major problem and inhibition of corrosion can be said to be the best economic option applied when mitigating corrosion. Corrosion inhibition has already been established in various commercial enterprises, either for the protection of pipes in the petroleum industry or to reduce the disintegration rate of feed water sections or boilers or also used to cut down the sulphide induced decomposition in industries that are being utilized for the gasification of steel pipelines. Thus, this overview establishes the fundamental principle of inhibitor usage on metallic materials and the factor affecting the choice of the inhibitor.
