A method of preventing high temperature corrosion on a heat exchanging surface of a biomass boiler, including: a first feeding step, supplying a first biomass fuel to the boiler; a deposition step, performing combustion on the first biomass fuel during initial operation of the boiler, and forming an inert deposition layer on a surface of a heat exchanger of the boiler; a second feeding step, supplying a second biomass fuel different from the first biomass fuel to the boiler; and a normal combustion step, performing combustion on the second biomass fuel. A direct contact of an alkali metal chloride with a metal pipe wall is prevented by forming an inert deposition layer on the surface of the heat exchanger of the boiler in the deposition step, thereby establishing a physical barrier between the heat exchanging surface and the alkali metal chloride to prevent corrosion on the metal pipe wall.

Inhibiting or preventing corrosion of metallic components downhole may be accomplished by introducing neutralization media into a wellbore in the proximity of downhole metallic components, where the neutralization media comprises magnesium and where the method further includes subsequently contacting the neutralization media with a potentially corrosive environment comprising at least 5 volume % water, where the water has a pH of less than 11. This contacting activates the neutralization media with the water thereby releasing magnesium ions, and the magnesium ions react with hydroxyl ions of the water to give magnesium hydroxide in an amount effective to raise the pH of the water present to be between about 8 and 12 thereby inhibiting or preventing corrosion of metallic components downhole.

Disclosed herein are methods for reducing fouling caused by process water present within a water recycling loop of a pyrolysis plant. Fouling is caused by phase separation and accumulation of materials from the process water on equipment surfaces. The method includes applying a total of about 5 ppm to 500 ppm total of a first polymerization inhibitor and second polymerization inhibitor to the process water to form a treated process water, wherein the first polymerization inhibitor has a pygas-water partition coefficient of about 0.0001 to 9 and the second polymerization inhibitor has a pygas-water partition coefficient of about 1000 to 50,000.

The methods and systems of lower the grounding potential of an AC electrical grid for protecting a potable water delivery systems from corrosion due to a chemical redox reaction between protective concentration of disinfection chemicals in water and iron, lead and/or copper metal pipes within the potable water delivery system. The methods protect the surface of interactive metals more noble than zinc. These methods are also effective in corrosion protection of the national metallic infrastructure of metals more noble than zinc, such as street signs, lights stands, bridges, and any systems connected to the electrical grid.
