Regardless of the type of corrosion, power plants must ensure that corrosion occurs as little as possible or not at all.
To achieve this, they can, on the one hand, monitor substances and parameters that indicate corrosion, such as conductivity, pH value, or the presence of corroding anions and cations.
On the other hand, power plants can make sure that corrosion inhibitors that are added are present in sufficient amounts (e.g., zinc ions, phosphate, or phosphonates for steel and steel alloys or triazoles for copper and copper alloys).
