Use of supercritical water (SCW) as a medium for oxidation reactions, conversion of organic materials to gaseous or liquid products, and for organic and inorganic synthesis processes, has been the subject of extensive research, development, and some commercial activity for over 25 years. A key aspect of the technology concerns the identification of materials, component designs, and operating techniques suitable for handling the moderately high temperatures and pressures and aggressive environments present in many SCW processes. Depending upon the particular application, or upon the particular location within a single process, the SCW process environment may be oxidizing, reducing, acidic, basic, nonionic, or highly ionic. Thus, it is difficult to find any one material or design that can withstand the effects of all feed types under all conditions. Nevertheless, several approaches have been developed to allow successful continuous processing with sufficient corrosion resistance for an acceptable period of time. The present paper reviews the experience to date for methods of corrosion control in the two most prevalent SCW processing applications: supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and supercritical water gasification (SCWG).
