The corrosion has caused various economic problems in the chemical and petrochemical industries over the years. To prevent the rate of corrosion, as well as to maintain various devices, a series of materials are used as inhibitors. If these materials are used, the lifespan of tools and devices will be increased and economic costs will be reduced. In this study, a new inhibitor that can be used instead of hydrazine was used. This inhibitor is called Levoxin-15 and can be used to prevent corrosion caused by oxygen in steam tanks. The laboratory results showed that by keeping the concentration of Levoxin-15 at a constant value of 15 mg/l in steam tanks, no signs of corrosion were observed during 2 years of operation. The obtained results show with increasing the concentration of hydrochloric acid to about 3500 mg/l the relative corrosion rate increases almost, linearly. This increase will be such that at a concentration of 3500 mg/l of hydrochloric acid the corrosion rate will be about 300 times. In addition, the results illustrate that with increasing the concentration of hydrazine from about 20 to 30 mg/l and also the concentration of levoxin-15 from about 78 g/m³ to about 88 g/m³, the operating time increases significantly. Also, results state that with increasing acidity from about 11 to 15, the relative corrosion rate will increase almost as a quadratic function to about 178 times.
